It's in pretty good company actually, with Midnite Vultures and Electric Ladyland in there too.

But Ladyland is Hendrix's only good album cover.

Agreed, it's terribly hit or miss. The bad ones are really bad, the good ones are actually good and iconic.

Becks' artwork perfectly captures that album, for me.

What a crap article. I was expecting some more details on the making or thinking behind the cover. Instead it's just a bunch of random thoughts by the article writer. What a douche.

I don't think it's the worst album cover of all time, but it is a pretty stupid one.

We are selling our home, and the S/T album cover is featured in several pictures. It's been in the market for 10 days with one offer that was withdrawn. A connection?

In the sense that it's crap? If so, I agree.

This album is really good but not amazing, while the album artwork is pretty boring but not horrible. So, I'm not really sure how this one made the list, let alone got #1???
