G'day Everyone Exclamation

Some people have said what album covers they like so I thought it would be nice to get some opinions on what you all think are the worst album covers. Shocked

I think that the worst cover is Hollies Sing Holly and the Evolution cover comes in a close second. I think they could have done something better with the Crazy Steal and Romany covers too. Rolling Eyes

All The Best

Susie

Cool Very Happy

Hi Susie

As I said somewhere else: I think the worst two covers are Crazy Steal and Buddy Holly, they are very poor.
I don't know why they accepted these ugly ones.
What Goes Around isn't very good, too. And of course the Hollies Sing Hollies one is very very bad.

But Romany? I love that one, although I think the Distant Light cover is better. I think it was a very good idea to continue that.
And I think the Evolution cover reflects the music very well, all those colorful experiments and Psychedelic, it fits the music.

At least on Hollies Sing Hollies you get a picture of the band- I alkways thought Confessions of A Mind could have had a better album cover; especially the artist they used for Distant Light and Romany could have had a field trip.

Hi all,
I think most of the Hollies Album covers were good, but my vote would have to be Confessions of the mind, a real nothing sort of cover, pity as it's a fantastic album. I don't go much for the Buddy Holly one too. We in Australia had a different cover to Russian Roulette with a photo of the lads on it, they look like they are off to work in the local factory.
My Mums vote for best covers went to Distant Light and Romany, I always loved the cover of Hollies (1974)

The US cover of MOVING FINGER has got to be the worst. The UK cover of CONFESSIONS OF THE MIND isn't much better.

Rolling Eyes Susie, I never cared much for the Evolution cover either. I do like the On A Carousel (All seated, with Allan Clarke cross legged and profile to us, in color), and King Midas (Them in front of a news stand, in color) album covers. I almost forgot, the Another Night cover, with Allan in that dated big collar shirt, and any cover where they are wearing those (matching black suits with the) bow ties!
