What's Your Favorite Album Cover?
 
I would love to be able to buy certain album covers in huge posters.

1) "4" by Foreignerhttp://kr.asiamusic.net/imgdata/arti...oreigner_4.jpg
I like this one because it shows the old fashioned TV countdown - five - bleep - four - bleep - three - bleep - two - bleep - one... You don't see that anymore.

2) "Black Sabbath" by Black Sabbath http://en.wikipedia.org/upload/d/da/...ebut_album.jpg
The whole scene is eerie - with the witch in the back ground in the woods...ooohhh

3) That Neil Young album where he's leaning against a tree - but its all viewed like minicular structure. http://neilyoung.rockmetal.art.pl/ne...is_nowhere.jpg

I'm not sure why, but I really dig this one:

It just captivates me for some inexplicable reason. I like the album itself, too. I wouldn't say it's my favorite album cover ever(I have difficulty picking favorites), but it did spring to mind upon reading the topic question.

Simplicity is beautiful. :)

This one is fun too, and most fitting:

Probably this

That Clash one is pretty cool too, though (and I disagree about the music sucking)

Here's the Elvis Presley cover that inspired it:

Tom Waits "Rain Dogs" would get my vote, followed closely by David Bowie "Scary Monsters" and Beatles "Abbey Road" (duh!)

And, lest we forget, these threads can be a pain to load for people on dial-up. I remember that this one (now locked) used to take an <i>age</i>:

Off the top of my head I always liked the cover of Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. [<A HREF="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000002KET.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg" target="_blank">Link</a>]

I really want this version since it has the bonus song "New York City Cops".

There are TWO good reasons why I like this cover. Never heard the music though.

I bought this album blind not knowing anything about the music. I just thought the cover was awesome.
