We shouldn’t judge a book or movie by its cover, and the same rule will probably also apply to these music album covers, back in the days when the covers played a major role in getting the attention of music lovers. Musicians have tried to push the limits beyond the imagination. They focused too much on album packaging by creating weird and funny covers. Just like nowadays, YouTubers get more views by using misleading thumbnails. Look at the list compiled by bygonely of the most hilarious and weird album covers of all times. Do you think that a man wearing lingerie represents his guitar skills? Or a guy named gay dog with a flower? What kind of music should be behind that weird photo? Guess and vote your favorite one.
