I can't believe they didn't include that infamous Scorpions album
cover from the early 70s as an "honorable" mention.

Don't remember that one, got a link?
The one I can't believe they omitted was the Beatles "butcher" cover:

Number 27 is a parody of the Tijuana Brass 'Whipped Cream and Other
Delights'
Number 43 is a parody of the Beatles "Hard Day's Night"
I don't know if I can live with the shame of remembering the originals! :(

What? No Slim Whitman? No Zamfir? Oh, maybe their covers were okay...
Seriously, what's more disturbing than anything to me is that someone
apparently still has those albums available to photograph.
Also slightly less disturbing, is some of those '70s fashion
statements.

If you can't figure out how to use it, I probably wouldn't
care to correspond with you anyway.

I don't know about worst, though some are pretty bad, others
are just odd. Number 25 seems OK, not great, but hardly
worthy of too much ridicule. Number 26 reminds me of the
Dustin Hoffman movie "Tootsie."
I kind of liked the spoof of the Herb Albert whipped cream
cover. That one's pretty funny.
