I miss the days of buying a CD and checking out the artwork and lyrics. Post your favorite album covers or artwork you've come across in your musical journey. Vinyl, cassette, CD, digital uploads....all is welcome. Oh and post the band name and release date if you remember. Incubus, 2004 Slightly Stoopid, 2005 Loved this band back in the day. Def Leppard, 1987 311, 2011
fuck yeah man, these are some really solid albums on top of being solid covers... def leppard was my first ever favorite band when i was like 5 lmao I'll post some of my favorites when I remember
fuck yea. how was this never a thread? 311 1995 311 2005 The Who 1969 Led Zeppelin 1969 just to name a few
I've always been partial to the artwork on the earlier Marillion albums...here's album #1 and #3 Even though it's technically terrible, I've always liked this album cover for the Scorpions Lovedrive album...call me weird...
Fuck yeah dude! Here is the other 311 album I like...always reminds me of ancient aliens lol...like flying machines. Tubes of raw power.
Fucking no WAY! I was just coming here to post the Led Zeppelin I album cover, we're gonna sink like a lead Zeppelin. Kick ass!
love it. i could easily spam the fuck out of this thread omg. all these pictures of covers goin thru my head. i'll let others get in on this too though one last one for now
Thanks Ron for coming up with such a creative thread! I can remember staring at this album cover for hours when I was a child as I listened to the songs. I have so many album covers to post, but i don't wanna hog up too much of this thread. Honerable mention: Janis Joplin/ Big Brother & the Holding Company Kosmic Blues. And all the Roger Dean Yes albums back in the 70's. Consider me subbed.
Here's a few of my favorites off the top of my head, I like the more subtle/somber album covers. Lots of good ones ITT. Morning View (2000/2001?) American Football (1999) - Actually what my profile picture is These bring back good memories
Growing - All The Way (2008) Grateful Dead - Anthem of the Sun (1968) Susumu Yokota - Love or Die (2007) Black Dice - Load Blown (2008) Ween - Pure Guava (1992) Matthew Dear - Beams (2012)
