Posted: Wed Oct 01, 2008 6:23 pm Post subject: Best Album Cover Art |
|
|
I saw a thread in the Off Topic forum asking for best cover art...for the new video basketball games. I was disappointed, as I thought it was for album art, which I think is a good topic.
So who has the best album cover art? I know some Iron Maiden fans love their cover art, but that is not my style. Metallica's Black Album shouldn't count.
Sgt. Pepper? Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here? Spinal Tap's Smell the Glove? _________________ Courage doesn't always roar.

TACH will probably have some input here - he has some great cover art right in his sig
Personally I can't think of any off the top of my head... all the CD's I ever bought I just removed from their case and stuck in my huge CD books. The cases along with cover art were relegated to being stored in boxes in the garage for all eternity. |

Hopefully they did not go blind because of that.

Iron Maiden has some very unique album covers thought the years
Ice Cube's Death Certificate was nice
and Van Halen's 1984 was sweet with the kid smoking ........ |

Once upon a time, the pun was one of the loftiest forms of humor.
Now?
Not so much. |
