thebigtwoooooooo.jpgAnd now, the poll that has been weeks in the making: Idolator’s Worst Album Cover Of The Year Tournament final. And what a showdown it is! Ted Nugent vs. Perry Farrell. Crappy script fonts vs. crappy script fonts. An ominous-looking shadow vs. blatant abuse of drop shadow. Women-as-meat misogyny vs. some weird concept of a party in space that I don’t have the time to lay out in detail right now, but that does have Nuno Bettencourt on its guest list. An oddly placed guitar vs. an oddly placed wife. Which is truly the worst, though? That’s up to you to decide. Voting is after the jump; polls will stay open until noon ET on Monday, after which we’ll send a Spirograph to the “winning” label’s art department.

The Worst Album Cover Of The Year Tournament Brings A (Semifinal) Tear To Our Eyes

facetofacetofacetofacetoass.jpgYou know, last week I really thought dark horse Helalyn Flowers might actually go all the way in our tournament, but then I woke up this morning and saw who they were up against in the semifinal round. There’s no way this Satellite is gonna crash now. Perry F. and crew will go on to tussle with the Nuge in the final round for the real bloodletting. Still, I’m actually a little sniffly over Helalyn’s (presumed) loss, but maybe you will prove my pessimism wrong by voting for the scrappy goth duo that no one expected would come so far.

The Worst Album Cover Of The Year Tournament Is Under Attack By The Photoshopped Purple People Eaters

inspacenoonecanhearyouturnpurple.jpgThe final battle in our Bad Photoshop bracket is dominated by a certain color, but which pukey purple powerhouse will go on to be crowned the winner? Personally, my bet’s on Perry Farrell payload of pure puce poo-poo, one of the few covers in our tournament that can make the vile violet of Blake Lewis’ Audio Daydream look pleasing to the eye.

The Worst Album Cover Of The Year Tournament Advises You To Put On Some Sunglasses

ohmygodthatperrysshameless.jpgWe turn now to the “Bad Photoshop” bracket of the Worst Album Cover Of The Year Tournament, which should probably be temporarily named the “My Eyes” bracket in honor of the aesthetic travesties facing off in this installment of the contest. Yiiii! In one corner, we have Satellite Party’s Ultra Payloaded, which shows that Perry Farrell’s facility for titling albums is almost as bad as his ability to not abuse the drop shadow. And in the other, we have Britney Spears, who continues her quest to be the queen of Google News with the blink-and-you’ll-be-blinded cover of Blackout. Which deserves to make it on to the next round? Vote after the jump!

bravelypayloaded.jpgIt’s a new day, so let’s put politics aside and move on to the “Bad Photoshop” bracket in Idolator’s inaugural Worst Album Cover Of The Year tournament. In one corner, we have the No. 8 seed, Jennifer Lopez’s $60,000 ode to the power of sparkles. And in opposition, we have Perry Farrell’s Satellite Party, which shows that Mr. Farrell’s computer-art skillz are almost as good as his taste in guests. Whichever one wins, we know one thing: Staring at the above one-two punch means that our field of vision is going to be tinted purple for at least the next six hours or so!

50 Cent’s Latest Collaborators Not Really Helping Elevate His Status

Oh, 50. We know you want to get a lot of exposure before Curtis’ Sept. 11 release date, and we’re sure that the idea of doing a song for ESPN’s Saturday night college-football telecasts seemed like a good way to pump up your “brand awareness” among the jock-jam crowd. More »
