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.)

No, see, you were supposed to either prop the album up inside the fridge so when you went to snack you saw him glaring at you, or you tied it to a string and hung it in the middle of the kitchen doorway so it hit you in the face when you went to snack...

Kinda looks like Will Farrell except if it was Will Farrell it would actually be funny, not creepy (or at the very least, creepy-funny).

That stare wouldn't convince me to buy his album– in fact, it's doing the opposite...

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