Favourite album covers


Not sure if this is the right forum. Mods please move if it isn't.

So, what are yours? I'm thinking in terms of how well the cover fits with the vibe of the album. Off the top of my head:

Satch- Surfing with the alien: when cheesy becomes cool
Black Sabbath- Black Sabbath: they just don't come any creepier
Van Halen- Women and children first: who needs covers??!!! Party on!
Van Halen- Fair Warning: just dark and MEAN
AC/DC- For those who are about to rock: just plain cool
Deep Purple- In rock: massive, witty, imaginative and funny (pure Gillan)
Supertramp- Crisis? What crisis?
Genesis- A trick of the tail
GN'R- Lies: the one time when Axl was able to laugh at himself (the rest of the band always were)
Queen- News of the world: because it used to scare the crap out of me when I was a child
Aerosmith- Pump: good ol' fashioned porn!
Primus- Suck on this: certainly captures the band's spirit

Crap I'm old! LOL

Share yours!

Re: Favourite album covers


I always liked this cover and its a favorite band of mine, and the mood of the cover easily portrays the music inside.. Mellow yet at times Rough

Re: Favourite album covers


I don't know there is something cool about this cover, if I released an album this is what it'd look like but with me instead of Paul

Re: Favourite album covers


Um, I'm not really bothered. I think the PAW artwork is pure gold, and same for Eric Johnson's Venus Isle.

Re: Favourite album covers


Mr Big had some cool looking art work for there cds. Actually, the art was in most cases was better than the music....

I can't believe that no ones mentioned "Dark side of the moon" yet. Probably the best album cover of all time.

Re: Favourite album covers


Dark side of the moon reminds me of crap Spectrum ZX computer games though, lol

Good cover nonetheless.
