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.)

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.

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.

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!

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