Instead of "terrible" I think you meant "awesome" or possibly "incredible", as that was one of the best songs of the 80s. Also I have never seen the single cover, so thanks for that. Here's a very 60s album cover, not the most 60s, but definitely part of it

 didn't that Ohio players album cover have some horrible story to it, like the girl was lying on some fiberglass platform and the honey dried and stuck her to it really good and when she tried to get up she pulled a whole bunch of skin off and died?

So "Never Gonna Give You Up" wasn't even the song they thought of as the big hit? It is the third song mentioned. In an alternative world, are people rickrolling each other with "When I Fall In Love"? glowing-fish fucked around with this message at 17:39 on Sep 10, 2016 |

The honey thing happened but she's still alive and it has nothing to do with the scream on the record. I feel like this is perhaps the most 2000s album cover to be released in 1997:  Or maybe a sort of a musical decade from 1997 to 2007 where people mostly gazed at their navel, angrily.

What was it with the early 90s and putting babies and little kids on stuff? Radiohead did Pablo Honey, Nirvana did Nevermind, and the Smashing Pumpkins did Siamese Dream. Anyway, this is Radiohead's 90's cover: Here's their turn of the millennium cover from 2000:  And here's their most recent cover from this year, which is like the pinnacle of horrible modern covers (and for those of you who haven't heard it, the music is just as bad and boring as the cover and name)

I'm probably repeating myself, but early 90s album covers in the Alternative vein, feel like they were someone's high school or early college art projects that were intentionally faking a semi-sarcastic campy imagery by channeling low-fi artiste pretension. By the end of the 90s, though, they were they were no longer intentionally faking it.

Of all the ridiculous late 90s/early 2000s album covers, I think this one is the best: So many things to point out 1) It looks like he just woke up in the photo. 2) When airplanes, missiles, and tanks are photoshopped into a photo, it is usually an attempt to make it look like they are all together in the same "scene". Literally nothing on the cover looks like it's even taken at the same time, let alone from the same "battle" that he's involved in. 3) The complete lack of planning on where the Parental Advisory logo would appear. Why not raise it up a bit so you don't just see a random chin sticking out? 4) Listing the featured artists as permanent text; part of the album cover. It's one thing to have a sticker on the cellophane that has all of that, but to have it as literally part of the album cover is so tacky and weird. Hell, I remember in the early 90s you'd buy a rap album and you didn't even know there was a guest on the song until you listened to it! "Hey! That's Jay-Z on this Big L track! Cool, it wasn't mentioned anywhere on the CD!". 5) There's 19 guest artists listed on that album cover. Isn't that just a "mix CD" at that point? 6) I am pretty sure the soldiers coming from the helicopter on the left are those little army toys Not surprisingly this is when I kind of stopped listening to new rap releases. Those types of album covers were ALL you saw from 97-2001. And never once was it from an east-coast rapper. Fun fact: the album title came from one of the members of the band hearing a bootleg pre-release of "The Jerky Boys 2" album. It's the first prank call on the album. "Pablo honey, are you washing your rear end? Please come to Florida with me Pablo"
