10 and 1 - Album Covers

Looking up the images for this post was A LOT of fun. While the amazing images that make up the 10 were a treat, it was choosing what would be our 1 for today that really cracked me up. In fact, it was impossible to choose just one cover that I thought was the worst I've ever seen, so you're getting two! As you should know by now, first up we'll be taking a look at 10 awesome, iconic album covers before you get to what could possibly be the two most offensive. Just to remind you, this isn't a countdown... just ten images I really like and one two I really, really don't. Enjoy!

The 10:

Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

 

Muse - Absolution

 

Killing Heidi - Reflector

 

Fleetwood Mac - Rumours

 

Pearl Jam - Ten

 

The Strokes - Is This It?

 

Lady Gaga - The Fame Monster Deluxe

 

Cyndi Lauper - She's So Unusual

System of a Down - Steal This Album

And 1 2:

 

John Bult - Julie's Sixteenth Birthday

How? How could a record company let this happen? Anyway, what album covers do you love... or hate?
