phantasmas 9,924 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 (edited) Per their website: "Our selection criteria for the list, other than fugliness: We skewed toward major artists with the resources of professional graphic designers who really should have known better. (Some of rock music’s most revered design firms, such as Hipgnosis, are also some of the worst offenders here.) No more than one album per artist. No mercy for the album’s music actually being good (that happens more often than you’d think)." 50: Spoiler Billy Joel, ‘River of Dreams’ 47: Spoiler Queen, ‘The Miracle’ 44: Spoiler Michael Jackson, ‘HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I’ 37: Spoiler The Beatles, ‘Revolver’ 9: Spoiler Dolly Parton, ‘Bubbling Over’ 7: Spoiler Kanye West, ‘The Life of Pablo’ Full List: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/worst-album-covers-1235044141/billy-joel-river-of-dreams-1235044151/ Edited July 24 by phantasmas 6 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Very Gaga Holida 20,425 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 I like The Life Of Pablo’s artwork. I hate this man with every atom of my body but that cover, as messy as it is, is the definition of iconic to me 10 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hieronymus 9,635 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 (edited) The writing in this really reminds me of those 2000s VH1 panelist countdown shows like 40 Most Awesomely Bad Songs. Also some of these are eyesores, undoubtedly, but I don't think a few of them belong on here. Definitely not Revolver and HIStory (and Chumbawamba, sue me). I feel like it's just Rolling Stone trying to get outrage clicks because that's their new modus operandi.

King of the Fall 3,774 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 (edited) That Queen cover is painful to look at Edited July 24 by King of the Fall Hey, I'm king of the world, you ought to hear my song, you come on measure me, I'm twenty inches long 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RochestrMonstr 2,462 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 If any Gaga cover had to go on a list like this, I’ve always thought the standard BTW cover was ugly, with the whole bike and the big font. It looks much better on the deluxe. 1 7 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
