Oh my God. Check out “Tino”. And “Let Me Touch Him” by The Minister’s Quintet (of whom there are only four? WTF?) These truly are unfortunate. ---

Check out _Country Church_ and just try to argue that blue and brown ‘go together.’ _Let Me Touch Him_ – was there ever a more unintentionally funny inadverdant homoeroticism? I mean, aside from _ManOWar_ and the _Playmates_? And _Orleans_? (Jim Post’s _I Love My Life_ gets the award for inadverdent _auto_eroticism.) Well, at least _ManOWar_ had the bodies to do what _Orleans_ miserably failed at. Check out _Tiny Tim’s Christmas Album_. … “I smell children.” _Reverend in Rhythm_ - It Bob Dobbs! Is John Bult’s _Julie’s Sixteenth Birthday_ all about hitting on depressed minors? But the funniest… fall down funny, was Freddie Gage’s _All My Friends Are Dead_. Yes, I’m sorry if he has gone through great personal tragedy, but, dude, a musician generally isn’t that… blunt. ## Peace. Good link! ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by gatopescado \* > \*\*Holy Mackerel! Why doesn’t Jeff keep his hook to his side? Whats he trying to prove? \*\* But that’s his hook! :smack: I mean – that’s his gimmick! Like the blind “Braillettes” it’s supposed to be inspirational. Hometown boy overcomes adversity to soar like an eagle… yadda, yadda… I dunno, Millie Jackson sitting on the toilet with a grimace – better than Spinal Tap’s all balck cover. Speaking of the mocumentary group did anyone think the _ManOwar_ cover resembled Spinal Tap’s “Break Like the Wind” cover? I mean, it doesn’t look that much like it, but I still half expect to see a mini-Stonehenge in the background. Scary note: The Reverend with rhythm looks quite a bit like my dad did circa 1968. Had the pipe even. ---

I like the “Twelve Top Hits” cover! The Reverend with Rhythm, too. What’s so bad about them? ---

Where are all the Journey covers? The only one that didn’t suck, IMHO, is [Raised on Radio](http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000002BMZ.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg) ---

Gee, wonder if there is any significance to “Devestatin’ Dave” having “Zap” scrawled across his crotch area? :rolleyes: Tino looks like a male prostitute, and Joyce looks like Tootsie. ---

I think Polymer Records’ cowardice over the _Smell The Glove_ album cover deserves mention. ---

LET ME TOUCH HIM heh. I think its [bad-music.org](http://bad-music.org) that has the Bill Cosby album cover where hes stood on the street in a leather waistcoat with a $20 dollar bill and a ceegar. its shit but good as well. on a more modern note, the cover artwork for the REM best of thats just come out has the least thought of any cover ever put into it. its like they only had 10 minutes to do it in. a fucking duotone blue moon? and some type thats been slightly messed about with in illustrator? good work dingus design dept! ---

I actually own Millie Jackson’s _Back to the Sh_t\*. When I bought it, the record store clerk looked at me and said “You must be a pervert!” ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Eats\_Crayons \* > \*\*\* Krokodil \* - What does Millie’s album sound like anyway? \*\* It’s a live concert album. Sounds like Chicago blues (some call her a “disco queen,” but she sounds bluesy to me) interspersed with a stand-up comedy routine. I can’t find my copy, but vividly recall one of her stories about a gynecologist (True story, apparently) who sewed up his ex-wife’s vagina, and she didn’t realize it for two years. “You _know_ that bitch was white! If someone sewed up _my_ shit like that, I’d have known later that same _day!_” [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/worst-album-covers-with-hahaha-link/215207.md?page=2)
