2024 Worst Album Covers List

[Viking Dan]

WELCOME TO THE 2024 WORST ALBUM COVER LIST
This is is not a list for the merely overrated, nor the purely vapid or the simply questionable.
This is a list for the truly spectacularly bad - so don't sleep on the fact that your nomination may say more about you than the cover itself.

Here we seek to celebrate the objectively awful.

10 and only 10 covers so putridly lacking will coalesce by years end into one heaping pile of "WTF? "
With that, I present to you, this year's nominees:

1. Nominated by @dbarila and @Melt Face Molly Drop


2. Nominated by @boychik0830 and @Lee Newman

3. Nominated by @avecigrec and @RenegadeMonster

I didn't want to presume the overall interest in this snark.

 

[dbarila]

Darn, I didn't know we were sticking with such a strict standard. Hopefully I didn't commit to a terrible album cover too early in the year.

I thought this was bad...

I would put that in the boring catagory, along with:

Lol perfect level of snark. There will be enough to warrant its own home

 

[boychik0830]

is this one of the worst album covers of the year?

It's definitely not one of the best.

Name as many as you want - but I cant take on a second job curating this -so I need a little structure.

Agreed - I'm not sure either of these two rise to the level of Objectively Awful.

Now for my money - I kind of like this one.
BUT I recognize this is offered by a new contributor to his discourse and we want to encourage participation here at N&G..

So - I'll add this to the list with the caveat that these first two entries may not make it to Dec. 31, 2024.

Agreed. We don't know what awfulness awaits us in the next 11 months.

I second this nomination.

 

[Fleetwood-Matt]

Throwing this in as a “so bad it’s good” pick



It’s ridiculous and ugly and I absolutely love it

 

[dbarila]

Perhaps to simplify the process a cover should get a certain amount of members (Maybe 3 or 4) to agree that it's bad before it goes on the list. That way it's not a list of strictly personal opinions.
