Was going through some older albums today and got to thinking of what might be the best album cover out there.  This one has my vote:



Nothing says metal like that image.  Thoughts?
Alive or Just Breathing

Jaimoe

I can't decide it the Pantara cover is great or awful.

APR

The Beatles - Revolver
Pearl Jam - No Code

I love the mystery of Dark Side of the Moon.  Think about when it was first released on vinyl.  No album name, no band name, just a black canvas with a prism.  Simplistic and complex, mysterious and alluring.  It also helps that it is the best concept album to date.



One of my newer favorites would be this:

I wonder why we listen to poets when nobody gives a fuck

Jaimoe

I can't seem to post photos, but Frank Zappa has at least two of the best if not most wonderfully subversive covers ever: Weasels Ripped My Flesh and We're Only in it For The Money.

I mean come on, they release this album and then 3 days later they're in a fiery plane crash that kills some of the band? One of them Steve Gaines is engulfed in flames here.

Be the cliché you want to see in the world.
