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.)

4 senior citizens and a wailing squeeze box. All you need for a wild dance party.

The two in the back are having delicate reconsiderations of their chosen dance partner.

This must have been the warm-up act for the Russian "Tro-lo-lo" guy!

Olaf Sveen was a legit Scandinavian sex wizard; this image just oozes sensuality. In fact, this album is such a potent artifact that even looking at it makes the beholder a Soldier of Olaf and Steakhouse Tantric Adept: so the sages say.

Judging by the look on Olaf's face on the left, Helga has some hard pumping man action coming up in her first three way.

You can't see him but old Jerry is struggling to get up from the floor after attempting to do the worm.

Guy on accordian: "I used to have a girl...she was very pretty....I missed my chance...." Lady on right with blue blazer man: "You do know I am a man, don't you?" Man in blue blazer, " I always suspected. I admired you from afar. You are so wonderful. Now stop treading on my toes."

They all look depressed, some forcing a smile. Why put so much pressure on these people.

I highly relate to the guy dancing with the box. Ironic, but it looks like he's having a 'ball'.

By the look on his face, even Olaf knows this party's a dud and no one's getting laid tonight.

The accordion player looks sad. He drew the short straw in the dance party.

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