Adding some T&A to the album cover has turned some heads in music history, but few have been significant enough to stand the test of time. Instead of making a best of list, SoundProof has chosen to talk about a few noteworthy albums everyone can get excited about, but not in the way you’re thinking.

		Cut by The Slits is significant because they were, actually, are, this in-your face-punk-chick group with riotous songs that scored right up there with the big boys. So, it’s only natural they’d appear on their album cover topless. This is ‘70’s punk rock, not Linda Ronstadt.

		With child pornography being all the rage these days, Nirvana’s Nevermind has a place on any nudie list. All joking aside, how cool would it be to be this kid though? Not everyone can say they appeared nude on one of the most important albums ever released.

		Nothing’s Shocking by Jane’s Addiction holds a special place because I remember the breasts always being covered by parental advisories or price stickers in music stores. Considering its title, I believe this is called irony.

		Since no list is complete without some sort of Beatles mention, we might as well throw John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s full-frontals on here from Two Virgins. Let’s move on, shall we?

		Next, we’ve got the original U.K.-release-only, U.S.-banned cover of Electric Ladyland by The Jimi Hendrix Experience.  This cover truly reflects the free love attitude of the ‘60s and proves we are all way too uptight 40 years later.

		I want to add the first album I owned that had nudity on it, the Pixies classic Surfer Rosa. It is, and always will be, my favourite Pixies record. No, not because there is a naked chick on it, but because the music is so good you forget about the cover. Seriously.

		Awwww yeah! Nothing says sensuality like a naked brotha and sista locked in platonic handholding with a big ole wang hangin out.  This cover is actually very deceiving because I've never heard anything filthier. If you thought 2 Live Crew was on the tame side, then you must check out this project from the OG to whom they owe it all, Rudy Ray Moore. Seek this gem out for some serious nasty time.

		This album takes us back to a land before time, when a pre-Baywatch Erika Eleniak was still a pornstar and Sugar Ray still knew how to punk the fuck out.  So, being the punk that he was (sadly not even half the man he used to be), he promised Erika that her identity would remain anonymous to protect her budding, legitimate, acting career.  Well guess who got the nod in the liner notes.
