See Gigwise's round-up now...
- 1. Xiu Xiu: 'A Promise' - A baby doll. A naked man. A bed. Three items that should go never together but, worryingly, all feature on the cover to Xiu Xiu's 'A Promise'. Whatever possessed this band to have this cover we'll never know %u2013 it is one of the most disturbing things we've ever seen. Even for a band that is famous for writing lyrics about such topics as AIDS, suicide and other morose subjects, this cover takes some beating in the weirdness ranking.

By now you've probably seen Weezer's wonderful cover for their new album, 'Hurley'. But in case you haven't, it features a picture of actor Jorge Garcia, who played Hugo 'Hurley' Reyes in Lost.
Frontman Rivers Cuomo said the band were struggling to come up with a title before “we just went with some random word that doesn't really have anything to do with anything”. Naturally they stuck a picture of Garcia on the cover.
To celebrate the launch of Weezer's artwork, Gigwise has taken a look at some of the weirdest album covers ever.
From artwork for albums by Marilyn Manson to Bjork, this is the definitive collection of bizarre cover art.
