Worst: Rolling Stones - dirty work

throwaway 80's bull****. It's like everything I hated about the 80's was captured on the cover

Nice thread. Now I can show the two picks for the last Music Trading Post where nobody reviewed my choices. :thumb:
The theme was favorite covers...here's the two that I sent:

Chick Corea - Time Warp

Lords of Acid - Voodoo U
Moderator cut: image removed



As for worst, I realized that even though this album was my favorite of last year, the cover might be the blandest ever created:

La Roux - La Roux
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA280_.jpg
Only thing keeping me from just falling asleep when I look at that, is the font they picked had that sorta cool lightning bolt looking thing coming off the 'r'.



(As for the poll, I picked the top option. Cover art, and even the inlay art can add so much to an albums personality. I could write a whole essay about how I feel about album art, but I might save that for my journal I think.)

I'm pretty sure there's already a thread like this. Anyways, in full size to experience its awesomeness:

but yeah.

lords of acid...wow haven't heard them in years. an interesting band, but every song being about sex gets a little old. i feel like i contracted something just listening to it.

What's wrong with King Crimson's THRAK cover to make it the worst? The contents suck, but not the cover. :p:
