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!

I have so many questions. Why is the saddle on the ground? why is there a half-peeled banana next to it? Why does she look like she's going to a funeral? Why.......

I absolutly and catagorically deny any relationship with Dorothy. And the horse does so to.

A guitar might work better. It can play more notes than a rifle.

You're doing it wrong, Dorothy. The saddle should be *on* the horse, not next to it. Do you think of you play enough the horse will saddle himself just to get you to stop?

I don't think she's going to play much music on that gun, despite her best efforts to hold it like a ukulele!

Okay. Let's break this down. An ear of corn (?), English saddle (pointed the wrong direction, just cuz), "rider" wearing silver lame shoes (forget ankle protection), black rifle against black double-knit suit (camouflage??), shadow of large object looming lower right...at least she's wearing a helmet.

I really wonder the connection between the mother and the riffle. I swear to you no mother even mine ever pointed a riffle at me!

The horse is actually smiling, knowing he's going to be famous on Bored Panda one day.

Ok, Flicka. Put the saddle back on or you're gonna die from lead poisoning.

If she was wearing brown, you wouldn't be able to tell her from the horse's rear end.

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

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