[I cucked Alex Jones 3,963]

dats Ghostface 8/10

 

[RoadRunner71 2,945]

He has 6 eyes? Wow, I'll give it a 7/10.

 

[Testarossa 10,683]

Let me put it this way:

 

[Mister Pink 9,825]

Hmmmm....10/10 - not biased at all.

 

1978 - you can see this style was inspired by the power of red, white and black. The White Stripes adopted it for a time and oh...the Nazis.

 

[OmegaEvolution 374]

10/10 love Kraftwerk

 

[Mister Pink 9,825]

I have to give this 10/10. My mother had this record lying around at home. I always thought Grace Jones was fascinating to look at. It's an iconic photo and I remember seeing someone do a recreation of it some time ago.

 

I loved Floyd covers. I read that these are all actually real beds...

 

[Flūttershy 1,344]

9/10

 

[zuckmeslow 2,435]

8.5/10

 

[~Tiger~ 12,902]

I missed this thread so apologies for the mini-bump!

 

 

I love Roger Dean's artwork on those old Yes albums.

 

 

My all time favourite album art was King Crimson, In the Court Of the Crimson King:

 

Cover:

 

 

 

Inside art:

 

 

 

Amazing music too.

[The Hippie 428]

I've always liked that cover. 9/10

 

Here's one that always reminds me of King Crimson's cover, but this was released a year before.

Ant Trip Ceremony - 24 hours.(1968)

Supertramp's "Even In the Quietest Moments" - Not only is it a beautiful album cover, but it's also great music. Definately recommend it for early prog fans.

The sheet music on the snow-covered grand is "Fool's Overture", the last track on the album, which has excerpts from Churchill's "We shall never surrender". Great music.

Speaking of...

 

[supanaut 728]

[Brown Sugar 363]

This one's a live album but that still counts, good ol' Charlie Watts.

 

I like the comic book/cartoon style of this one, all the songs featured on the radio station K-Jah in GTA 3 were on this album.

[mr quick 10,511]

There's a lot of pink floyd in here, a lot of those were by Storm Thorgerson (who died last year). Give the name a quick google followed by the words 'album covers' and you'll get to see all his great work

I remember it from when I was a child, there must still be the original vinyl somewhere in my house!

 

I will leave this one here...

 

[universetwisters 32,059]

I know for a fact I have that quietest moments supertramp album in my closet somewhere aswell. I'll go looking for it after work today

Edit - Found it.

I'm lookin' at you, Tacymist.

[OmegaEvolution 374]

[universetwisters 32,059]

Note how the order of the names are reversed. I always thought that was the coolest part about the album.

 

[KFranchise 70]

 

[Zondar 1,985]

That Grace Jones cover is absolutely incredible.

 

 

I've always loved this one.

Really sums up that feeling of spending TOO long drinking and whatnot in bars.
