Album Covers
Today we look at musical groups that created albums with covers featuring nude males, often the musicians themselves. Above, the 2016 album Ellipsis by Scottish group Biffy Clyro shows the group's three musicians: Ben Johnston, Simon Neil and James Johnston.
Puzzle, an earlier album by this group, features a nude photo of Simon Neil that was manipulated in Photoshop to draw the puzzle pieces on him.
Hefty Fine, a 2005 album by Bloodhound Gang, featured this hefty man on the cover.
And Bloodhound Gang's musicians are not noted for modesty. Above, the band's Evil Jared Hasselhof.
The cover of the 2012 album No Love Deep Web by the Death Grips. The penis belongs to drummer Zach Hill.
The 1978 debut album of the Italian disco band Easy Going.
El Canto del Loco was a Spanish pop rock band. Above, their 2008 album Personas.

That Personas album cover didn't show much. You can see a bit more of singer and guitarist David Otero at right above.
We end with a very well-known nude album cover, Unfinished Music No.1 Two Virgins by John Lennon and Yoko Ono. Here's the back cover ...
and here they are on the front cover.
Next time: more naked album covers.

Once Lennon and Ono did it.... But, at least in other countries the anguished didn't get things banned.
That album cover featuring John Lennon and Yoko Ono came during a time of much more freedom than we have now. Unfortunately we in the United States are losing freedoms at a very fast pace.
Neat post!
Don't forget Mom's Apple Pie. Cover is not nude, per se, but the apple pie is missing a slice... and where the point of the piece of pie was, is, uh, interesting. A 'revised' cover had a stone wall in front of that part of the pie!
I've had the immense pleasure of seeing Biffy Clyro perform live in their native Scotland. Amazing live act! They performed shirtless, but, alas, kept their pants on.
