Good stuff, especially their comments about the Who album. Some of those covers are actually more funny than bad--that "There Is a Difference" one is awesome. I'd vote for that Pearl Jam cover as the worst. It looks identical to billboard ads I see around here for the National Avocado Council or whatever the hell it is that promotes avocados. |

Yeah, I think the Liars are aware their cover is awful, am quite sure, in fact, that that was the intended effect... Pearl Jam need to give it up. They jumped the shark too many years ago to remember, although that phrase implies that they once had worth... |

RHCP - Stadium Arcadium Serious bad-cover day for the Peppers! They should have learnt from Bob Dylan how big letters can look good on covers. |

John The Chilis sleeve is bad, but on purpose. I love it, mind you if it were my band's sleeve I'd think twice about using the art! LK, Pearl Jam sleeve really sums up the group for me. Its like the cleaner has been asked to pic a photo from a stock library catalogue, its fu*kin awful. |

Spence, I am glad that the new Winnebago release will not be a pain in the eye! I like the Long Blondes cover, and yes, I know I am quite obsessed with them at the moment. |
