Sometimes I just don't know what I'm gonna write about.

 For one reason or another,
........I''m just not feeling all that creative today.

 Happily, when this particular peculiarity presumes to impinge upon my positivity,

....... I always have someone else's creativity to fall back on.


 Namely, that of the bad graphic artists and designers ------
who have come up with some of the worst album covers of all time.

 You know how they say that beauty is only skin deep?

 Well, these just prove that ugly runs all the way through.



Ok....
I admit it.
I got no idea who this guy is,
what his music sounds like,
......  or from which college he got his gynecological training.
But just what the hell IS his name -- Mc Pooh  - or  Pooh Man ????


( ....... And is it EmCee or Mc' like some kinda Pooh sandwich? )


 Kevin here seems to be trying to tell his audience something.
 (.... or maybe he's just trying to break it to his mom... )

 Maybe he figured he'd do it on the album's cover,
........ because no one was ever gonna listen to his album?

 It is totally immaterial whether he looks better in that outfit that I would--
cause that's a question that will never be answered.

 Lets just say my chest is bigger.




Here's one featuring an exquisite tackiness that only Eastern Europe can produce......

..... and I gotta say, she got me beat in the hairy legs category, hands down.


Ever wonder what the soundtrack for Hell would sound like?

How about Ethel Merman singing Disco Music.

I repent.

I repent already.





This cover obviously took a lot of thought, a lot of research, a lot of photographic know how.

Did they dangled a double whopper with cheese in front of Little David and tell him to beg for it????

" Little David Wilkins -- King of All the Taverns. "

Um hmmmm.......

Just what idiot thought this cover would help sell albums???




Alrighty...... now that I got ya warmed up.....

How about we look at some albums featuring PUPPETS.

You know, puppets....
---inanimate objects ---
that people stick on their arm and make like it's talking, singing, dancing....
......... who knows what else .



See....
I figure one of these guys must be a puppet, since there's only three in the group.

Ahem.

Yes.... well..... 

Anyway......

As I was sayin.... ,
... there's a whole recording genre of puppets performing on albums.

( How the hell do I know how that makes sense, but it's true -- it's true. )


 
Sure.... you got folk singing puppets.......



You got yer French musique avec puppets ....






You got gospel singing puppets.......
( the human one is the one with the bouffant )



 you got yer Country singing puppets.....





 you even got people imitating puppets imitating people.



 ( I really don't want to know what happened to Daddy, kid.. thanks, anyway. )







  Yes, you've got all that -- and much, much less.



Trees may talk too, but they're not much for picking out their own outfits, apparently.






 I'm sorry, but doesnt it seem Beverly is getting a little too attached to Erick, here?


Yes, puppets of all kinds and descriptions.


And then, you got this guy.



Wow... they certainly are making them realistic, aren't they?

.........  In a Kafkaesque sorta way, anyway.....



Ok, OK.... I know...
I'm probably just too critical of the whole ' puppets on audio ' concept.....


 Maybe I should just focus on people who don't use puppets.


 Here's one who uses french poodles.




Can't get enough of these bad album covers?

Well, you come to the right place, got after checking out my other fine posts on the subject, you'll be so sick of them, you might never darken the door of a record store again.

Lucky thing, too-- cause there aren't that many left.
