The Best Album Covers

[Lancemc]

Well, I starts an Album Titles thread earlier, but really an album's cover can create the same impact as a title, if not greater. Generally I feel the album cover isn't as important as the title, not by a long shot, but some covers are just amazing.

Such as:

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Abbey Road

Heroes

The Unforgettable Fire


and

Darkness On The Edge Of Town

 

[WinnieThePoo]

those are nice

 

[xaviMF22]

One of the most recognized album cover of all time....

I love this cover....one of my favorite albums

 

[WinnieThePoo]

some more goodness

You don't really get a sense for it without holding the packaging in your hands.

Sigur Rós

 

[maro_chik]

...And of course...

 

[Axver]

 

[I'm Ready]

this is one of my favorites

 

[tuwie]

[GibsonGirl]

 

[cdisantis83]

Pink Floyd: Animals & Wish You Were Here
Zeppelin IV
The Who Sell Out
Radiohead: Amnesiac

I once watched a show claiming to present the top 50 album covers, and number one was Sticky Fingers by the Stones. I have always detested that album cover, although the album itself is incredible.
