I don't know much about Swamp Dogg but I do know creating an album cover of yourself riding a horse sized rat may be a marketing blunder. What is the buyer supposed to feel? Puzzled? Repelled? Like you're looking at the south side of a north bound rat?

Tammy Faye 'We're Blest'
If it seems that at times I may be just a bit more "blest" than you, well, it's the tithing money!
The only thing more icky than people insisting on my having a blessed day might be knowing they are spelling the word wrong in their heads.

Ru Paul 'Ho Ho Ho'
Do I really have to explain why I personally would not display this proudly in my home, why the air near my speakers will never vibrate with the strains of Ru Paul's 'Ho Ho Ho'?
I didn't think so.

Menudo 'Reaching Out'
Oh dear God. Boy band is right. This collection of kids looks like every wretched old child molestor's fantasy come true. Also, Menudo? Isn't that a food made from tripe, more commonly referred to as INTESTINES?

Country Church
This has to be the single most boring group of people on any album cover. I sincerely hope that none of them got into music seeking that crazy rock and roll lifestyle.
I think I see these folks at IHOP most Sunday mornings. Perhaps they would be interested in Reserving A Spot In Heaven!

Donny Osmond 'Disco Train'
What do you suppose Donny did with the body of Elton John since he stole his clothes?
Sadly he moved before the train ended this fiasco.

David Crosby 'If I Could Only remember My Name'
Horrible. The see through fat rocker, the crying sunlight out of his eyes. David, everything seemed more golden in the light of LSD. Even your career.

Lords of Acid 'Pussy'
Don't look at Robot nine, we didn't make this cover up, we just reported it!
Blatant, obnoxious, offensive, and very badly done.
It only gets worse down below. (If you'll pardon the pun)
You've been warned.

Paddy Roberts 'Songs For Gay Dogs'
Followed by the sequel 'Songs For Bestial Lovers'!

Pat Boone 'In A Metal Mood'
'No More Mr. Nice Guy'
High on the list as it may be the single least believable musinc in the line-up. I believe the man above may have a relationship with the dog, but i do not for a moment believe there are metal moods in Pat Boone. Ridiculous!
5
MC Pooh 'Pooh Man, Funky As I Wanna Be'
An unfortunate moniker that Mr. Pooh has taken, much as the book title 'Cooking With Pooh'. Winnie must be very upset somewhere at this time. Also, what do you mean "funky". Funky as in musically funky, or funky as in stinky funky?
4
Orleans 'Waking and Dreaming'
I remember Orleans. I remember beautiful songs on the radio, songs you might listen to with a woman, with your girlfriend. I also remember no heterosexual teenage boy would be caught dead walking out of a store with this homoerotic image.

John Bult 'Julie's Sixteenth Birthday'
Oh dear God in hillbilly heaven, I have nothing to say. Do you?
2
Prince 'LoveSexy'
The uncensored cover. For the first time in my life I favor censorship!
Remember, it gets worse. You have been warned.

Richard and Willie 'Funky Honkey, Nasty Nigger'
OMG! This seriously has to be the single most offensive and least deserving of being created in the first place product I have ever seen.
Is that a woman or a man in front, and isn't she/he a bit out of context. I can hear the designer of the cover...
"OK, we'll use a white dummy, and a black dummy, and we'll give the album some crazy unforgettable name. Oh yeah, we'll have a model pretend to go down on you. That'll take it over the top"!
Truly desrving of the number one worst album cover and concept ever. One positive thing. I now know the correct spelling of honkey.
