37. The Ruby Suns: 'Sea Lions' – The New Zealand indie-pop band have a history of crap album art. Their eponymous 2005 debut featured a child-like drawing of a giraffe, yet 'Sea Lions' from this year is a whole lot worse. True, it would be nice enough if your eight year old child drew it, but what possesses a band to use it on their album sleeve is beyond us.

- Lindsey Buckingham released an excellent album this year (Gift of Screws), but the artwork is terrible. Should be on this list...

- i like the Chinese Democracy artwork

- huh, chinese democracy has a fantastic album cover....based on the name of the album, it fits perfectly. and i'm not even a fan

- i have to agree, Chinese Democracy's album cover suits the album very well, its a masterpiece

Chinese Democracy's cover is totally alright, one who chose it for the bad covers chart probably didn't even listen to the album.
