Over the past few weeks, MusicRadar has seared eyeballs across the globe by exposing the worst album cover art in the worlds of heavy metal, hip-hop and those involving serious misuses of the noble art of drawing stuff.

Now we ramp it up a notch further by taking a peek at the bold and not-so-beautiful.

Yup, we're talkin' nudity. And lots of it.

Through the decades, the naked body has graced a multitude of album covers, and in many cases, the results have been gloriorious, wondrous sights to behold.

These ones, however, are anything but - or should we say 'butt'? No. No, we shouldn't.

No, these egregious images are horrid, mystifying and just plain stupid, the likes of which would make even Michelangelo (an unabashed rooter of all things nekkid) throw down his paintbrush and run for the hills.

Not that we should have to mention this, but the following non-objets d'art are definitely NSFW. That's N!S!F!W! So grab your laptop, head for the nearest broom closet and take it all in... if you dare. Us? We're off for a lie-down.
