Controversial Album Covers | Van Halen 1984

June 13, 2008 by Scott  

Remember this? When Van Halen’s 1984  came out there was a bunch of controversy over the album cover over a baby…who also happens to be an angel…smoking a cigarette. Back then this was a big deal. Yep, that’s right…this was controversial back then. Kind of funny if you think about it. I wonder what these people that thought this album cover as taboo think of some of the album covers of today.

    You kinda figure that Van Halen is close to the top of some sorta list of pissing someone off.
    1984 was just their way of making a person to say WTF…
    If you go back and look at “For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge”…Just plain and simple. It said it all…

    Tha’Carnal Knowledge came out when I was in High School. Everyone thought it was the coolest thing.

    You want to hear something funny, my ten year old son and I were At Best Buy the other day and they had a big picture of the Nirvana Nevermind cover and he saw the baby’s penis and goes “ewww!”
