  1. Supergrass - I Should Coco

    The band’s debut LP may have included fun-loving anthem, Alright, but it's cover made the band look like trolls who wanted to eat you.

  2. Suede - Coming Up

    Suede’s Coming Up may be a neon mess, but their album certainly makes up for it.

  3. Ocean Colour Scene - Marchin' Already

    By their third album, Ocean Colour Scene had finally perfected the art of standing an equal width apart.

    Nothing says British shoegazing band quite like a cactus seller holding up their sign.

  6. Blur - Modern Life Is Rubbish

    Blur may have thought modern life was rubbish, but they probably should have used some of it to make a better album cover.

  7. Gay Dad - Leisure Noise

    Now, where have we seen this before? Designed by Peter Saville of New Order fame, Gay Dad’s Leisure Noise LP is so bad it's practically trying to run away from itself.

  8. Marion - This World And Body

    Either the photographer really loved those ceiling lights, or this is a case of really bad cropping.

  9. Space - Spiders

    Space's debut album is pretty much an arachnophobe's worst nightmare. And let's not even mention those bathroom tiles.

  10. These Animal Men - Too Sussed

    A Britpop kid on a cross. Enough said.
