Post your favourite Album Art of all time.

Pick one album cover from an art perspective ONLY. We're not talking about the greatest album music or band or any of that stuff here. What's your choice?

Here's mine:

I've got one of The Black Crowes "Amorica" digipack cases with the bikini chick sporting the pubes before they got pulled from the shelves.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

 

[NikolaeVarius]

Can't really decide cause I have a couple, but love this cover.

 

[abaez]

Runner up to the Need is Dead. Pictures don't do it justice it's like gold trimmed and all shiny.

 

[Rhoxed]

Almost all of the YES albums.

 

[Perknose]

Blind Faith's (mostly Cream with Steve Winwood) classic album cover of their classic album.

Somewhat NSFW. It caused a HUGE commotion back in the day, and was quickly pulled and replaced. I went up to NYC and got me one before they disappeared. Good times!

For those of you playing along at work, and who don't know, the cover was a pic of a 12 year old girl with flowing ginger locks, naked from the waist up, holding what looks for all the world like a hood ornament from a 1955 Chevy.

Provocative and deep!

I've always loved the smoking box cover.

 

[Drako]

Chicago 14 cover - the music itself was kind of weak, but the cover was cool.

 

[Atomic Playboy]

 

[Away]

 

[Printer Bandit]

 

[Perknose]

For whatever reason, this one sticks in my head. I never even bought the album, just saw it often in . . . record stores. Anyone remember record stores?

I'm not going to bother posting a picture, but Tool's 10,000 days CD has built in 3D glasses that you can use to read the booklet, it's pretty cool.

MJK really needs to take a break from the wine already.

He's been on tour like 50 days so far this year (touring Dec - March), and it's only April. Also slated to go back on the road with Puscifer sometime in May.

They (Tool) just booked a one-off

I was more talking about a new album.

Also, I missed out on the tour in philly because the show sold out in about 8 seconds and tickets were going for 200+. Apparently Philly is the nexus of the world as far as tool fans because it was nowhere near as hard to get tickets at any of their other stops.
