Maladjusted was the worst until Swords came along. Southpaw was nothing special either, cuz he wasn't 'on it'.Is there any other musician who has featured himself on so many records? I know I've asked this before.
Why Maladjusted? It's not bad at all.
Morrissey a cammaleon but Bowie is more... (I don't say about face, hair..)
Morrissey always featured himself like someone with no labels... it could be proved on all albums eh released. I don't think his albums are good at all, but they're not worse at all either.

I dunno, it's still not that bad, it's just uninspired. Bleh. It doesn't even look like him.
S paw's okay -I did buy the t-shirt on tour.
Morrissey Girl's Club! :boxing: 
Moz doesn't really take bad photos...but for Swords he went out of his way.

I can't answer your question, but it brought up something that happened recently with me. I showed the artwork for 'Swords' to one of my non-Morrissey listening friends, and she said that he should stop being on his album sleeves.
I just can't imagine that anymore though -- it's like every time a new release is planned, we all eagerly await seeing what, erm, position, Morrissey is in next

"Years of Refusal" is f***ing hideous. I'm really shocked at the results. I really like the cover of "Maladjusted". Of course, I also like the album which puts me in a minority, anyhow. It's definitely better looking than the reissue.

For me it's a close tie between Maladjusted and Bona Drag. I went for Bona Drag. Although the November Spawned A Monster video is a real masterpiece, that still they used for the cover is quite hideous.

Maladjusted cover was utterly "blah".

That's one of my favorite album covers.

I think the Maladjusted reissue is FAR better than the original, which I voted for as the worst...the pants could have been (and have been!) worse. At least the London street signs keep it interesting....mind you I think the cover of the new Swords will give it a run for it's money!

Agreed. That one was the worst, by far.

Still here.
I was very tempted to vote for Swords as it's not a great photo and the expression on his face is unfortunate, but the fantastic inner sleeve photos make me forgive the cover. I went for the original Maladjusted- it's quite dated-looking and his paleness in that photo is very odd.

Re: hmmmm
I think the original 'Maladjusted' sleeve was poor. 'Swords' is just ok.
I love 'Vauxhall and I,' the collection he released with the photograph in front of the Grave Maurice is beautiful. I also like the cover for 'Refusal.' Those are probably my top three album covers. Singles-wise, I just loved the one where Morrissey was lying on the railways tracks, awaiting the train, then checked his watch as the train was no doubt late! Wonderfully witty. I think it was 'You Have Killed Me.'
My least favourite singles art would be IBEH and the one with a naked bottom. Too 'in your face' for me, I'm afraid.
I did love the sleeve photograph on the 'Let Me Kiss You' single here:

Can't choose between these three, all poor in different ways:
"Southpaw grammar" = no Moz, bad idea.
"Maladjusted" reissue = I hate the shades, the clothes and the pose.
"Swords" = completely lacking in energy.
The best cover of his solo career is "Everyday is like Sunday", hands down.

This wasn't included, and it's a crap cover.
