What is your favorite album cover?


I extremely love Rhythm Nation 1814 by Janet Jackson. Eschewing a friendly, fun image more conducive to '80s pop chart success, Janet Jackson adopted a militaristic tone for her instantly iconic black-and-white Rhythm Nation 1814 cover art.....That's why I like not only her song but also her soul in music. What about you? What is your favorite album cover?

Blonde on Blonde, one of the first rock gatefolds.
It really used the space with a fold out half-length photo of the artist in a suede jacket, the image slightly out of focus, seemingly alluding to the complex instrumentation of the music inside.
This iconic 1966 image rock-star image gave way a couple of years later to the backwoodsman image, still in the same jacket.
Happy 80th Bob.
