Love It To Death is number 20 on this list of 25 most controversial album covers. Not much of a review on it, maybe three sentences. And it was his thumb exposed, not middle finger I believe.

***There is nudity on some of the covers listed, so please be aware when you click on the link.

Wow....nice list...could of done without Lennon naked tho !

That was no doubt the ugliest one.

I'm always happy to see Alice Cooper Group on a good list. Thanks.

Thought the Sex Pistols would have been there somewhere.

I'm surprised the Scorpions Virgin Killer album was left off but it hasn't been run for years. Ironically Blind Faith's album cover was dropped for decades on the cd release but was recently restored on the box set and then dropped again for the new single CD release.

I really had no problem with Lennon’s cover at all. He was right in saying no one was offended at seeing him naked. People were offended at seeing two slightly sickly drug users.

I was offended at seeing Yoko naked.

I'm scarred for life.

They probably don't include the Scorps cover because they have never seen it haha
They didn't break in the USA until some years after that album I think, and it was probably never released in the US with that cover.
And I agree, Waaay more offensive then most if not all on that list!, as are many more covers that they probably haven't seen (lots of death/black metal covers make the ones on the list look very tame).
