What is your all time favourite album cover art?

This has to be one of mine


Jethro Tull - Broadsword and the beast

 

WOW!

Well this is hard... currently my favourite is the album cover to The Coral's first album The Coral...

 

Hmmm...either 'Jane's Addiction - Ritual de lo Habitual'



Or 'Jane's Addiction - Nothing's Shocking'. I can't find a good picture of this one though, I'll scan it in later

 

The Doors - Strange Days
Six of the very small bunch of circus performers I'm not afraif of.




Brian Eno - Another Green World
The music was well ahead of it's time and same can be said for this cover. Blur's greatest hits cover got a fair bit of acclaim using a very similar style. Not that that matters of anything...






But my favourite has to be



Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother
A little concerned about the drug connections which surrounded Floyd's early years, they decided for the 'Atom Heart Mother' cover to have the most ordinary, down to earth, unpsychedelic artwork imaginable. And when the thought, "How 'bout just a cow standing in a field?" came about, they must of though perfect!

They didn't pull it off. As Lulubelle III there (the cow. think that's her name) and her natural surroundings is trippy as hell if you ask me

Maybe it's because the sky blue and grass green colour match has never looked so bizarre! The way the horizon rises at either end kinda gives off a warped effect. But it's the fact this cow is staring right at you which makes it truly odd. Great stuff

 

mine has to be machina/the machines of god, by the smashing pumpkins.....

all art work by Kafanov

 

Anarchy - chumbawamba

 

Wow!

 

I don't have a particular favourite, but here are my current top three favourites:

1: The Beatles 'Revolver' - It's a selicious picture with all those images spiralling from the Fab Four's heads. It's a fine example of black and white psychedelic art.

2. The Incredible String Band 'The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter' - For me that picture really symbolises a kind of communal, bohemian, timeless gypsy-ish lifestyle. It makes you wish you could jump into the picture and join them.

3. The Zombies 'Oddessy And Oracle' - I don't actually own this album, but I think the colours and textures of this picture are great and I like how all of the shapes and characters flow into and beside each other. Fine psychedelic artwork there.

 

one of my fav's is "no protection" by massive attack vs mad professor...

 

The Nutty Proffessor one is grand and what a fantastic album too He rocks!

 

Dunno about u guys but I'm a fan of The Dark Side Of The Moon albums cover by Pink Floyd.
