Your favorite album cover...


Album cover art ain't what it used to be.
I always admired the R. Crumb Big Brother cover.
Sticky Fingers is worth framing.
Hated Beggars Banquet and the White Album covers.
Neon Parks was fun, the Last Record Album and Weasels Ripped my Flesh come to mind.
London Calling is my favorite, a take off of an old Elvis album cover that captured the spirited intensity the band was producing at the time.

Really?
Like Cheap Thrills, Disraeli Gears, and Sgt. Pepper?
Nice try........
METROPOLIS - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, Music By Giorgio Moroder. The cover features "Maria" the robot in grand, color, Futurist style, covering both the front and and back of the outside gatefold. Arresting and beautiful.
I've always liked Tijuana Moods by Charlie Mingus.
A two dollar Tijuana whore leaning up against a beautiful jukebox.
Spirit- Twelve dreams of Dr. Sardonicus.
City Boy- Dinner at the Ritz.
Beatles- the meat cover.

Definitely- The Who, Who's next. Everyone remember them emptying their bladders?

N

Blind Faith ;-) ?

But seriously, Dylans' Nashville Skyline. Talk about spitting the counter-culture's eye!

The iconic Led Zeppelin One. 

"Axe Victim" - BeBop Deluxe

"Live At The Fillmore East" - The Allman Brothers (also iconic)

"Revolver" - The Beatles

"Rockin' The Fillmore" - Humble Pie




Walter Rossi - Six Strings Nine Lives
...is a pretty awesome cover - full scale foldout of Rossi's Gibson LP.
This is one of my favorite covers:

Los Lobos- Will the Wolf Survive?
John and Yoko- Two Virgins (Or, was that savage garden?)

Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother.

A cow.

No album name, no band name, just a cow.
