Hey there, music aficionados and Easter lovers! ?? Today, we're taking a dive into the quirkier side of music history - album covers that have featured rabbits, in all their cute, funny, and sometimes downright creepy glory. So, grab your chocolate eggs (or not, we don't judge) and let's hop right in!

1. Come Clean, No Balls
Kicking off with a bit of an oddball, "Come Clean, No Balls" stands out for its general genre of Garage Noise or Shitgaze. Repetitive, noisy, primitive sound with some horns thrown in at random points. If you do like this, definitely check out 'Brainbombs'. We just like the bunny on the cover.

2. Jive Bunny, The Album
Jive Bunny and the Mastermixers' pretense was to take samples from loads of different songs and blend them into one not-so-beautiful whole. A father and son duo from Yorkshire, they were enormously successful - only the third band in history to go to number one with their first three single releases, in fact - but also massively hated.

3. Swans, White Light from the Mouth of Infinity
"Swans, White Light from the Mouth of Infinity" takes a turn for the more artistically surreal. This cover evokes a sense of mystique and intrigue, and let's face it, it's probably the most thought-provoking bunny you'll see this Easter. This album marked a shift for the Swans, from pummeling mantras to something more "musical," with singing instead of shouting and cascading chords instead of just drop-tuned gut-punches.

4. A-Trak, Dirty South Dance
Screaming forced whimsey, "A-Trak, Dirty South Dance" cover is flashy, fun, and unapologetically ostentatious. The album, blends contemporary hip-hop and blog house and some crazy mash-ups by the dude who won the 1997 DMC World DJ Championship at a prodigious 15 years of age.

5. A Night at the Playboy Mansion
Alright, we can't talk about rabbit-themed covers without mentioning the iconic Playboy bunny. "A Night at the Playboy Mansion" takes this well-known symbol and amps it up to fit the luxe, decadent vibe of the album. It's cheeky, it's disco, and it's a little bit naughty – everything you'd expect from a night at the mansion.

6. Multiplication, Eric Gale
Eric Gale, known first as a session musician in the 1960s, eventually appeared on an estimated 500 albums. Among the many artists he recorded with were Aretha Franklin, Bob James, Paul Simon, Lena Horne, Quincy Jones, Bob Marley, Nina Simone and Peter Tosh. The working title for this release was "Receding Hare Line". [Wink]

7. L7, Hungry For Stink
Definitely a cover that could induce nightmares, instead of telling you about this one, we are going to relay this review by an online blogger who summed it up succinctly. 

"So is L7 for you? Well, that depends. If you're easily offended by masculine femininity, bad language, foul subject matter, loud guitars, or the occasional crazy b*tch scream, you probably won't like L7. On the other hand, if you're one of MY people (lol), like to stay out late, drink lots of beer, smoke the wacky-tobakky, and generally enjoy causing maximum mayhem while listening to loud rock & roll, these girls might just be the thing for you. Hey, you know who you are. -Unknown Blogger"

If you are a fan of great album covers and maybe after a giggle this Easter just do a quick google of rabbit related album covers. Some are brilliant and others will leave you asking "um, what were they thinking?". Happy Easter y'all.
