2016 was a pretty horrific year, and as a result, coming up with a fun little list of bad album covers was a little bit more difficult this year. Let’s be honest, this collection of horrible covers pales in comparison to the shit show Donald Trump has lined up to be in his cabinet. If anything, let this list be the pick me up you need as we say goodbye to a year of unending tragedies and disappointments.
20. Drake
VIEWS
Drake tried to capitalize on the success of “Ant-Man”.
19. Prince Rama
Extreme Now
A work of arse
18. Gucci Mane
Whoptober
I would say that he’s wearing ice around his neck, but it would be redundant.
17. King
We Are KING
This cover would go nicely with The Golden Girls’ wicker furniture.
16. Usher
Hard II Love
The graphic artist misunderstood when Usher said he wanted to look stoned on the cover.
15. Soft Hair
Soft Hair
The UnOriginal Sin
14. Alex Smoke
Love Over Will
The elusive Octobater in his natural surroundings
13. Tortoise
Catastrophist
This guy is one red baseball cap away from being a Trump supporter.
12. Steven Tyler
Somebody From Somewhere
Somebody from somewhere actually got paid to design this.
11. Sia
This is Acting
This is what your duck face selfies look like to everyone else.
10. Red Vox
Blood Bagel
The Einstein Brothers’ charitable collaboration with the Red Cross blood bank didn’t go over very well with customers.
9. HELLYEAH
UNDEN!ABLE
HELLNO!
8. Lumpy and the Dumpers
Huff My Sack
Wave your legs in the air like you just don’t care!
7. Controlled Bleeding
Larva Lumps and Baby Bumps
This is pretty much what I see whenever I see children in public.
6. Yanni
Sensuous Chill
Yanni’s new vape line looks pretty dope.
5. SEI2URE
Vibrator EP
“Ma’am, from the looks of it, your vertebrator is out of place.”
4. Goo Goo Dolls
Boxes
“What’s in the box?! What’s in the…oh, that’s it?”
3. The Hotelier
Goodness
This reminds me of the lesser known R.E.M. classic “Sweaty Naked People Holding Hands”.
2. Corey Feldman
Angelic 2 the Core
Corey Feldman: Douche 2 the Core
1.Kings of Leon
WALLS
Kings of Leon have really embraced the whole bird shit controversy.

Most of these might not have been as bad (although bad nonetheless) if they’d been released in the 80s. Prince Rama… not quite the symbolism master. Yet, my no.1 vote goes to Lumpy and the Dumpsters. That’s one useless cover.
