Now who is that handsome beast with the glasses and long, manly mustache? Considering that he looks pretty good even on this dreadful cover, one imagines he would look even better outside of it!

And last a few from the truly tasteless top 10





 Had to delete the Scorpions Virgin Killer album cover even Imageshack considered it kiddieporn and banned it.

Yep, those are truly tasteless. The Scorpions one wouldn't even be released today, with the high anxiety in our culture right now about the exploitation and abuse of children...similar issues now haunt the cover to Led Zeppelin's 'Houses of the Holy' (designed by Hipgnosis), and there is that one cover (for Traffic[?]--a band featuring Steve Winwood) that was controversial even in 1969/1970 and suppressed, though the design itself is rather interesting.

Pipedream:
Good work, everybody!!  :laugh:

Here are some more of the eternal Hall of Horrors:  ;D

Which one for Traffic, Scott? I was a huge Traffic fan and had a bunch of their albums but I don't remember any controversial covers.

Here's one of my favorites:
