Album covers that could use something (more) (or different)

This looks like the cover sheet for a financial report, not a greatest hits.

Another best-of collection so plain-looking, I almost didn't pick it up.

These are somehow worse than The Beatles' White Album.

Yeah who decides that black and white is best? It just looks like there's no color in the printer.

The original vinyl release was really nice. It just didn't translate well to the cd release.

I loved the white overprint on that cover (at the time).

If done right, a black and white cover can be beautiful. Technically, all of these are not true black and white, but some are monotone.

I've heard that this was the idea of the record company to take this photo of Bushwick in the hospital after he had been shot.

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

He's alive today, but lost an eye. This album came out in 1991.

These are definitely striking uses of black and white, or white space.
