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.)

He's got quite a suggestive smirk as he's blowing that horn....and he's waiting for the other guy to notice.

Just like a typical 50's movie about teenagers--they're all played by adults.

I can't imagine how this version of "Jailhouse Rock" must sound if THIS is what they consider to be a teenage party.

If this is a teenage party. From what I remember of mine, they must have looked like an orgy to the outside world.

Sven and Olaf just ordered some Roofies by mail order. Olga knows, but they are going to totally surprise Eva with the dark hair.

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