Most Deceiving Album Art Ever?

What album covers give the poorest indication about the type of music contained on a record?
For my money I would go with Opeth's Orchid. While you can argue that the cover's underlying message is finding beauty in the midst of darkness, or that beauty stands most prominent amid darkness, I would say that most people would be shocked upon listening to the music on this album.

This one comes to mind. I thought this was going to be a metal band based on the cover, but it is an instrumental band with some funk influences and a lot of brass in the songs.

Probably something from the Grateful Dead in the 70's. I remember going through my sister's albums back in the day and coming across one of her Dead albums thinking it was gonna be this hard rocking heavy rock band (which I was into). Boy was I wrong.

I thought that the first time I saw a grateful dead album as well. Pleasantly surprised.

Pretty much any Molly Hatchet album.

All my metal head buddies talk about this. How cool the steal your face logo is, how lame the music is... Idiots.

By looking at the album cover you'd think this was another Piper at the Gates of Dawn. Not even close.
Disraeli Gears is one of the best albums of the 60's but the album cover is definitely misleading.

I'd agree... I remember being a kid and seeing these in my cousins record collection and waiting in anticipation on what I was about to hear... Only to think.. what a jip!!
