There have been some real doozies in the world of classical music album covers. Like an eclipse of the sun, we recommend you don’t stare directly at them.

|1|

Do they take requests?

|2|

This poor guy…

|3|

The fairer “Sax.”

|4|

Bach as a wine bottle… okay then.

|5|

“Open Face Sandwich Club”?

|6|

Really?

|7|

Bach vs. Julian Bream. 15 love.

|8|

Where’re the meatballs?

|9|

Nothing says cool like a 1980’s puffy red shirt and top gun shades.

|10|

Pow, pow!

|11|

Ride of the Valkyries for the Stairmaster.

|12|

I have the sneaking suspicion these folks weren’t listening to classical music when this shot was taken.

|13|

The only reason the cello is on the plane is because the airline would have destroyed it in the cargo hold.

|14|

And here we have Spartacus.

|15|

Barefoot in a prom dress… On the Beach… With a violin…

|16|

We have so many questions about this one.

|17|

The look on Bach’s faces says it all.

|18|

Vivaldi Machismo.

|19|

Your lips are for what?

We can’t decide if this is the best or the worst album cover ever.
