Fireballet - Two, Too... (1976)

Rateyourmusic tells me that this is the last album Fireballet ever released. I suspect this is because putting all of your ugly, hairy male band members on the cover of your album wearing tutus and frolicking around is considered to be a career-ending move in certain parts of the world. Making awful puns on top of that just seals the deal.

Kevin Rowland - My Beauty (1999)

If someone were to ask me what my deepest, darkest nightmares looked like, I would have to say that this album cover comes fairly close to nailing it.

Brainstorm - Smile a While (1972)

After this, I'm pretty sure I'll never be able to smile again.

Poison - Look What the Cat Dragged In (1986)

Take one good look at this album cover and try to tell me with a straight face that hair metal wasn't just an excuse for guys with closet transvestism fetishes to air them out in the open without fear of reprisal.

Jim O'Rourke - Insignificance (2001)

There's nothing I'd like to see more than a fat, mustached, hairy-chested transvestite wearing bright pink stockings and a sheer tank top sitting in a chair looking depressed while holding the string to a weird toy duck. Actually, I misspoke. What I meant to say was I'd never like to see that at all, period.

Paul Jabara - Disco Wedding (1979)

For sounding like a monumentally bad song and a bad idea in general, the cover itself doesn't look that bad. At a glance. Then you start to notice that the faces of the bride and groom look awfully similar. And that the bride's hair doesn't quite look real. And that her body type is a little mannish. And that she's Paul Jabara in a wedding dress.

The big question is: why? Is the implication here that Paul Jabara wants to marry himself?

The Edgar Winter Group - They Only Come Out at Night (1972)

If a partially-nude Edgar Winter is what comes out at night, I think I'll never be able to sleep again.

I'm not sure what's worst about this album cover: Edgar's eyeliner and lipstick combo (perhaps subtly hinting at WHY he comes out at night), his gigantic white mole that more closely resembles an unpopped zit, or his huge diamond necklace which adds even more to his bizarre nudist albino streetwalker look.

I'll just go with saying his mutton chops are beyond freaky and call it a day.
