Now that's bad

Pitchfork’s The Worst Record Covers of All Time, with commentary that had me spluttering away in the staff room while people looked at me funnily:

No cover goes so far to completely tarnish the reputation of a Valhalla-ensconced band while demonstrating the crushing awfulness of 1980s aesthetics as Dirty Work. Keith knees Mick in his citrus groin with his fought-for black slacks, as this was all obviously Jagger’s idea. Charlie’s hides in his camouflage blouse, blending into the blue background. The entire image is only of significance as it captures the turning point where heroin finally turned Keith’s face from “Keith Richards” to “Dried Apple Head Doll.”
