30 Worst Classic Album Art According To Vintage Everyday That Will Leave You Asking Why?””
They will tell you that it's all about the music. If your tunes are strong, people will come! But first impressions count too, especially back in the day when these albums where released and people often made their purchases based on what looked cool in the record shop.
None of these albums covers look cool. Surely they didn't even in the darkest days of the 70's and 80's, when fashions in clothing and facial hair were at their most questionable. These are, according to Vintage Everyday, some of the worst and creepiest examples of album cover art ever dreamed up. They are so horribly bad, they're actually good. Hilariously good! Scroll down below to check them out for yourself, and don't forget to upvote your faves!

The Miracle At My House
Dan Lenson - Barenaked Banjos
Pauline And Randy - Help Me
Dorothy - "Everybody's Mother" Goes Country
The Sounds Of Hjs Coming
De Germa's - Bananenlied
Yes, we have no bananas today. ( That's the title of the song. Clearly that's a lie.)
Ilona Staller - Ska Skatenati
Olaf Sveen - Dance Party
4 senior citizens and a wailing squeeze box. All you need for a wild dance party.
Fleming Antony - Frk. Brun
Jimmy Scott - Fallinf In Love Is Wonderful
Romark - Relax... You're Going To Lose Weight
because he is gonna scare the sh*t out of you when he comes to life and night and creeps in to your room
Vicki Jamison - He's More Than Enough
Danny Boy - Twist
Ah yes, that was the time the KKK got a red sock mixed in with their hoods when doing a load of washing
Ronald Coyne - When God Smiled On
And thought: Where the f*ck did my carefully designed system of evolution go wrong?
Craig Douglas - Cuddle Up With Craig
Aaron - Miten Ois?
From this album cover- apparently he didn't succeed at doing either.
Load More Replies...The pipe and belt buckle say 'I'll be your macho man', but those roadside-picked flowers say 'I'm thrifty yet tender'. Pretty much a complete package.
The pipe is more I'm an old movie old grandpa than macho man!!!
Load More Replies...From one Aaron to another, loose the pipe or the flowers, you cant pull off both.
Hold these, smoke this.........and oh yeah wear this waist slimming maxi-belt, trust me Aaron...you look great,
Miten Ois? I'm doing fine. Lose the pipe and the flowers too and you'll be ok.
He is Finnish and so man enough to hold a bouquet of flowers. The song is an adaptation of a song called I Can Help, but I don't know if that is also what the Finnish title means.
I remember that song! "I Can Help", I mean. There's a whole slew of songs from the 1960's and 1970s I call "dentist's office songs" because I only ever heard them in the waiting room at the doctor's or dentist's office back then as a kid, that soft rock stuff. "I Can Help" was one of those songs.
Load More Replies...I listen to Morrissey when I'm depressed because, honestly, no one can be depressed quite so overly dramatic and stay in key like him. Cheers me right up every time!
Load More Replies...This ight have flown with a different sweater and belt buckle. Do the weeds eventually go inside the empty pipe?
Darling, you forgot your pink nail polish! Oh, I am soooo tired of trying to remind you of EVERYTHING, Aaron!
Every detail on this photo is weird. red wall, smoke pipe, that sweater, flowers, belt, his eyes, hair... I am impressed how they even managed it.
