20. And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead
“Taos of the Dead”

I appreciate that all of the Trail of Dead covers are drawn by front man Conrad Keely, and he's obviously a great artist, but there comes a time where you need to pull your singer aside and be frank with him. Enough with the spaceships and air balloons, the machine guns and monocles, and the idea theft of video games (“Final Fantasy” and “Star Fox”). Put the pen down, and SING.
19. Eric Church
“Chief”

It’s nice to see that the kind folks in the country music community have welcomed the Una-Bomber into their world with open arms.
18. 311
“Universal Pulse”

A glimpse of “National Geographic” in the year 3000.
17. William McDowell
“Arise”

Does anyone else see the irony in how William McDowell’s followers in the background resemble a zombie uprising?
16. William Shatner
“Seeking Major Tom”

As much as Captain Kirk tried to hide, Sulu just kept finding him.
15. Steven Tyler
“(It) Feels So Good”

Tyler opted for the Times New Penis font (of all the phallic-letters, N is the happiest to see Tyler’s mouth open).
14. Big Time Rush
“Elevate”

We all know white guys can’t jump, but are we supposed to believe that the guy on the right is actually jumping?
13. Drake
“Take Care”

Poor , sad Drake has to sit around alone with his golden goblet, his golden candle stick, and his golden owl (this cover would be an all-time favorite if instead of an owl, he was holding a golden turkey leg).
12. Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers
“Rare Birds”

This cover is about as funny as Martin’s performance in “The Pink Panther”, or "Baby Mama", or "Bringing Down the House", or "Cheaper By the Dozen" or "Sgt. Bilko".... (Can someone remind me why is this man so beloved again? You can't give a guy a 30 year pass for "The Jerk".)
11. Maylee Todd
“Choose Your Own Adventure”

Remember that “Choose Your Own Adventure” book where you have the choice between going in a time traveling cave or wearing furry animal pants? Yeah, I always went with the time machine too.
10. John Lord Fonda
“Bang the Fire”

Should have worn sunscreen.
9. Kate Bush
“50 Words for Snow”

Snowballing a snowman - you see something new everyday.
8. Dream Theater
“A Dramatic Turn of Events”

This picture is SO fake. Everyone knows that the wind would totally blow his hat off.
7. Sebastian Bach
“Kicking & Screaming”

Sebastian Bach is still releasing albums while Kip Winger sits at home. There is no justice in this world.
6. Millie Vanillie
“Green Velvet”

If you blur your eyes just enough, it looks like they both have udders.
5. Bilal
“Robots”

Our generation's "American Gothic".
4. Steve Miller Band
“Let Your Hare Down”

There's no way that rabbit is going to be able to maneuver its way down that ladder #animalcruelty
3. 31Knots
“Trump Harm”

When Joe wouldn’t commit to the shirtless cover, they came up with a genius back-up plan.
2. Lady Ga Ga
“Born this Way”

American Chopper totally missed the boat on their Lady GaGa bike. I would have gone with a meat-r-cycle.
1. Limp Bizkit
“Golden Cobra”

With “Gold Cobra”, Limp Bizkit tried going the Rick Perry route by making fun of themselves, but just like Perry, they still look like asses in the end.
Cool ^.-
finally a look at the other side. I will definitely check out some of the music to see how good they are.
A lot of album designers smoke crack, don’t they?
Dude – Three Amigos? Mixed Nuts!? No….? I also kind of liked Sgt. Bilko haha
Great choices! I don’t know that I could even figure out which one is the worst in my opinion. 🙂
Some pretty nasty stuff! You should check out my cover art and let me know what you think? If you hate it that’s fine. Any publicity for an obscure artist like myself may be better than nothing. FREE download of my cover art at my website for anyone whose interested.
