Does it really qualify as a great album though? It's probably one of their least great.

Yeah I think it's great. Well .. erh. No. Now that you ask. It's good. Not great. Highlights for me are "Strawberry Fields" and "Penny Lane" .. and they were only included in the US release.

I think it's a good album. It's not their best, but it's still good. Wait a minute, shouldn't you be asking whoever posted Britney Spears & Kylie Minogue's covers that are in here instead of The Beatles cover?

WHAT A DISGUSTING COVER. STILL TICKS ME OFF. ILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

I don't think this qualifies at all. this thread is "Great Albums With Bad Cover Art", not "Bad Albums with just as bad cover art" . But hey, to each his/her own....if it's great to you, I guess it's cool to post...

What you talking about, its the best Pop album of the decade.

Blackout is great!

Kylie I don't mind

Yeah I like the Kylie cover also.

I have my doubts about its greatness, but a lot people think it's awsome.

None the less, all agree the cover is f' ugly.

That is definitely a vomitous shade of green

I know this cover was created without Jimi's consent but I always hated it.

I understand why women are concerned, but that cover is fuckin' awesome and tasteful! and badass!

They are all naturally beautiful women (no argument there....lovely)....but is it really a great "tie-in" to the awesomeness of Jimi's EL album? Beauty aside, I vote nay.

Never really considered it an album though, more like an EP or a collection of non-album songs.

This was the album that really convinced me that The Beatles & George Martin were some bad ass studio hermits. The stuff in Blue Jay Way is just *swoons*

It's way too obvious and tacky. The album is so much more than the cover suggests.

My thoughts exactly. Beautiful women a naturale......LOVE that....but does it adequately represent Jimi's music on that album? Not Even close (IMO).

I this album cover! Any cover with naked female Titty's is absolutely beautiful to me....

I don't know, I actually like the UK cover of Ladyland though obviously the blown-up face of Hendrix, which looks as if he is on fire and in ecstasy (or could be playing intense guitar ), was the best cover.

Amazingly, although it's a picture of naked ladies, I have to agree with Jimi and all the other people who hate this cover. It's tacky, and the photo itself is quite poorly shot - the lack of lighting just makes the whole thing look cheap and seedy.

Keeping it on topic with albums that are actually great:

I've always loved this one, especially the lenticular, dye-cut "Fully Loaded" Edition version.

Aint nothing wrong with the Fleetwood Mac cover. It's a classic.

I'm surprised people think Emancipation is a great album. Magical Mystery Tour is 100x better.

I can't comment on the Britney and Kylie records because I refuse to listen to them.

He's poutin' for the gods though, hunny.

Santogold, "Santogold" (2008) : Great pop album... The cover is just....

Nine Inch Nails, "The Downward spiral" (1994) : Ok, I love trent Reznor and its fucked up ways... the cover is just crap, sorry!
