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!

Yes, we have no bananas today. ( That's the title of the song. Clearly that's a lie.)

So, mmmh, he's French, There is no KKK in France, these musiciens are supposed to be masked because they were sons of Malagasy diplomats come to France to study. They did a tour with Pinder Circus. Danny had then groups called the Pinguoins and then, another one, The Smurfs (don't ask me why). He ultimatly return to his first professional activity: fishmonger. I think, it's even a bigger "why" with the background.

Unbeknownst to a lot of people, Star Wars was originally written as a rock opera, and the Red Guards were not Emperor Palpatine's personal bodyguards, but were a band of travelling minstrels. Then George Lucas got involved, and the entire mood changed.

This is so wrong in sooooo many ways... but that must be the 'Ha! Ha!' of their 'twist' before one of them said 'Stop!' ;-)

Maybe not the Triple Kappa Society, but they do look like terrorists.

We had an old console like this in the early 70's. TV, radio and turntable all in one.
