Post your favorite album cover.

[Aristus]

Here's mine:






It's Chris De Burgh's 'Best Moves', a compliation album he released years before his "Lady In Red" heyday. It's hard to tell fromthe picture, but Chris is playing chess with himself; a reference to a cool song on the album called "Spanish Train".

Let's see your favorites.

[Colin Ex]

1. Here's what I have.

[Forkboy]

40. Hey have heard their new one yet?

I just saw it out last week and haven't heard it yet.I thought Process of Belief was their best one since Recipe...

[XNASA]

2. Roxy Music - Country Life

I've been in love with the woman on the left since 1974.

[Aristus]

4. Why not the one on the right?

Toss her a ball, and you're all set. :evilgrin:

[XNASA]

6. Because she looks like she could.........

.....whup my ass.

[Aristus]

9. Wouldn't you just LOVE that, though?

She can whup me anytime!

[XNASA]

12. After I had hit the "Post message" button.........

The thought did pop into my head. Just for a second.

But I guess I have a preference for the delicate type. Besides, I get my ass kicked enough as it is.

[Skittles]

10. I think

s/he's a man in drag

[Wickerman]

3. A nice pair

on edit - sorry, first one was huge!

[dwckabal]

5. Rage Against The Machine

[Aristus]

One of the bravest men in history. We should never forget HIS dedication to the protest of oppression.

[Skittles]

Uriah Heep

[qb]

[ronnykmarshall]

13. SMASH!

[tridim]

14. Mine

The Beatles - White Album

On edit: Someone had to do it :)

[Blue-Jay]

15. Also because it's one of my favorite albums

Nancy Wilson looks incredible and I love the way that Cannonball Adderly is leering at her. Jazz fans: Do yourself a favor and listen to this album. Your local library is bound to have it.

[Aristus]

16. Whew! She DOES look good, Blue Jay!

Is that Nancy Wilson of the Supremes? I always thought she was the prettiest of the Supes.

[mac56]

17. You're thinking of Mary Wilson from the Supremes.

Yes, she was the hottest one.

Nancy Wilson was a jazz/pop singer for Capitol through most of the the 60s and 70s. She now hosts a jazz show on public radio.

[Aristus]

18. Thanks, mac56.

God! Mary Wilson! The face of an angel!

[ronnykmarshall]

20. She still looks fab!

I get to hang out with her next month in Laughlin, NV. I'll be sure to post pictures.

[Aristus]

21. Oh MERCY!

What a gorgeous photograph!

[Blue-Jay]

22. Nancy STILL looks beautiful.

[bmbmd]

19. Was going to suggest "Blind Baby"

but couldn't fit it on the album cover.

[alfredo]

23. I guess I was just a horny young guy, but

I could have fallen for all three on this cover. I did like Lou Donaldson too.



Zappa had a lot of good covers, Here's two examples



This one was perfect for the content of the album.



this Alice Cooper cover came from a painting hanging in Frank Zappa's home. Zappa was the one who groomed Alice for success. I saw the first performance of his song, "I'm eighteen" and knew he was going to make it big. That night it was as if alice's feet never touched the ground. The change was dramatic. Zappa transformed Alice from a bizarre local band into a headliner.

[soleft]

24. I spent the entire summer of my 13th year looking at this album cover

Barry Gibb - sigh

[elcondor]

49. LOL, I have that album on CD

:silly:

[Character Assassin]

25. Laughing Stock

[Blue-Jay]

26. And who can forget this one from The Ohio Players

When I was a kid, this album cover made my naughty bits tingly. Still does.

[Skittles]

27. how about this Alberto Vargas classic for The Cars?

[Quahog]

28. Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush and friends. I adore this woman and her work. And speaking of still looking great:



That face..... *sigh*

[Friar]

35. Aar! Kate Bush rules

When is she gonna make another cd? Did she go domestic or something? Have kids and stuff? Aar!

[VermontDem2004]

29. A CD I usto have but when I did it was my all time fave

[Bake]

30. Little Feat, "Sailin' Shoes"

Don't have the graphic though.

Also good, Derek & The Dominoes, "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs."

Bake

[RedEarth]

34. I saw Little Feat in a concert about three months ago...

at an outdoor festival in Tulsa. I actually went to see Monte Montgomery and a few other groups, but came away real impressed with Little Feat. Prior to the show I had heard some of their music but really wasn't too familar with them. I guess one of their bigger songs was "Feet Don't Fail Me Now". If you're not familar with Monte Montgomery you should check out his site. Really an outstanding guitarist...and a good singer.

One of my favorite album covers is The Beatles...Abbey Road

[dolo amber]

31. Louis and Ella

What a great piece of work, and this pic just goes to show how the *cult of celebrity* has changed. These 2 were the cream of the crop when this was taken, and they couldn't possibly look any more humble and adorable. (Note Ella's housedress and Louis' rolled-down socks :)) Priceless.

[frylock]

32. minutemen - double nickels on the dime

D. Boon driving a Microbus down the 405. His reflection is captured in the rear view, right next to the freeway sign with his beloved San Pedro.



Also dig on the Simon & Garfunkel style cover from Kruder & Dorfmeister's - The K&D Sessions

[Friar]

33. Pink Floyd's "Meddle"

I can't post it because it won't fit in my scanner. If you're lucky enough to have the LP, open the cover and look at it from across the room. It's the best album cover ever. Aar!

Also "Umma Gumma" and Leonard Cohens first album.

Hypgnosis made the best covers. Aar!

[jus_the_facts]

37. ZZ TOP~EL LOCO

:smoke: :evilgrin:

[Forkboy]

38. Alice Donut's Revenge Fantasies of the Impotent

[electricmonk]

42. They had some of the

best song titles ever. :thumbsup:
My favorite was probably "The son of a disgruntled x-postal worker reflects on his own life while getting stoned in the parking lot of a Winn Dixie while listening to Metallica" I think I got that right. Or maybe "My Life is a Mediocre Peice of Shit".

[Forkboy]

43. Yup...you got it right

All their albums had great names

The Untidy Suicides of Your Degenrate Children
Revenge Fantasies of the Impotent
Bucketfulls of Sickness and Horror in an Otherwise Meaningless Existance

ahhhh....what a band they were :)

[kid shelleen]

39. Here's one fave

[electricmonk]

41. Lemonheads-Hate Your Friends

Subhumans had a lot of good covers too. Way more detailed than shows up here.


Government Issue


And this maybe my favorite

[CatWoman]

44. mine

[elcondor]

45. I've got three:

Beatles for Sale


Rattle and Hum


and Sounds of Silence

[newyawker99]

46. My fave is the cover to the

Sgt. Pepper Lonely Hearts Club album.

[Kat45]

47. Zappa's "Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch"

I don't have picture, but it was a simple drawing, with the album title also serving as the title of the drawing.

[alfredo]

50. Here it is

Another very good Zappa cover. This album was his last. the music kicks ass. The version of G Spot Tornado on this disc is excellent.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

48. Santana's Shaman and Supernatural
