****Worst Album Covers in the World, Group A, Round 1***

[Sydneyfan]

Okay, hopefully this will work. We'll have four groups (A B C D) starting with six awful album covers in each. Everyone will had TWO votes per poll, unless otherwise stated. The two covers with the lowest number of votes will be eliminated.

Here's group A:


The Handsome Beasts. Oh so handsome.

Queen. On a very bad day.

I went with the Beatles (what were they thinking?) and Scorpion, who are kings of the terrible album cover.

[foggy]

The Beatles and Scorpion for me too.

[Quincy]

You can have more than one?

Oh well. I went for Beatles, Paul had a smug face even then.

You can have two votes Q. I can add one for you if you so desire.

[FrigidRoses]

Scorpions and Beatles.

The Scorpions is awesomely bad though. And Eddie Mack is just pimp.

[Quincy]

Thanks C, but I can deal with only having 1 vote, even in the mega important poll.

The Scorpions actually have an album cover that even I found offensive. Not the one in this group, but another one that was banned in the US. It's of a naked little girl and its pretty much as close as I ever want to come to kiddie porn.

Q is a broody outsider who doesn't play by the usual rules. :upyours

Is that the one with the flashlight coming out of her?

[Sydneyfan]

Yep, that's the one. It's pretty unnecessary.

[hildegoat]

Handsome Beasts & Queen. I kinda like the Yesterday & Today cover.

[SkortBrun]

[Sydneyfan]

That Beatles cover is now pretty valuable. I read that the record company hated it and pulled the album off the shelves soon after it was released so they could change the artwork.

[Spilled Milk]

Queen and The Beatles.

That Scorps cover is all kinds of awesome.

[strawberrywine]

William Hung and The Handsome Beasts

Yeah, but some of the original replacements just had the new cover image stuck on to the original cover. So people have tried to peel off the "new" cover to prove they had the "butcher cover" and get more money for it.

The new cover is pretty boring:

Ha! If this wasn't so expensive, it'd look good on my desk:

The Fab Four look like zombies :lol

[FrigidRoses]

:lol

That's great.

[blueone]

The Beatles & Scorpion. Although The Handsome Beasts were close. :lol

[Faded Rose]

Beasts and Beatles. I think the Queen one is pretty horrid but I like Queen so couldn't vote for it.

[stickie]

Eddie Mack? Try the GREATEST album cover thread!

[clewis]

Beasts and Beatles. I think the Queen one is pretty horrid but I like Queen so couldn't vote for it.

I love Queen and all, but that is just a horrid album cover.

[FrigidRoses]

Eddie Mack? Try the GREATEST album cover thread!

:nod

[Sydneyfan]

Closing in a couple of hours.

[Sydneyfan]

What, no tiebreaker? :confused

William Hung and the charming Eddie Mack leave the competition.
