10 Rock Album Covers That Led To Massive Lawsuits

10. Blind Faith - Blind Faith

Usually the big bad lawsuits tend to come in when there's something a bit too risque on the cover of your album. Even though it's understandable when someone doesn't allow you permission to use their likeness on a cover, some of the calls for censorship can get a bit too much for its good. In the case of Blind Faith, the record label may have made the right call by not letting the original idea go to print.

Yeah, you see how the actual cover is just a bland picture of the band standing in their practice space? That's because their original idea was supposed to be a photo of a prepubescent girl standing naked with a phallic airplane in her hand. Compared to the rest of the stuff that went by in the '70s, the suits in the offices at least had the decency to cover that up.

By the time that some of them actually went to print though, some of the records were released as is, which led to millions of complaint letters from parents along with cease and desist orders to not stock the album on shelves. While rock is always a good place for controversy, it starts to get a little hazy when your bad habits actively take away from the album sales.
