Swede Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 I guess cover art was more important back in the days, when downloads and CD's didn't exists. But still, I'm sure all of you have opinions of cover art and cover art that you like or don't like. Personally I love the old jazz label's, Blue Note's and Verve's, cover art. Quote
Swede Posted November 27, 2007 Author Posted November 27, 2007 I agree that Black Sabbaths debut has great cover art. It definitaly fit to the music. In Rock's cover art isn't as good as it could've been, IMHO, but it sure is a great idea. Quote
Kissandra Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 Yeah yeah you all get I love the Black Keys, but really I've always loved this cover art: All of their albums' cover art does appeal to me in some way though. That one just sticks out. Love it. Quote
Horrorshow_Plant Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 This cover needs no explanation. And neither does this one. ^Two of the most influential covers in music history...and my two favorites. (Cliche, Iknow, but...) Quote
Swede Posted November 28, 2007 Author Posted November 28, 2007 I guess you can tell where we got our cover art idea from... Quote
kaztor (slight return) Posted December 16, 2007 Posted December 16, 2007 Okay now, here's the 2 very best ever: Some other notables: Quote
TypeO Posted December 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 Scorpions - Blackout UFO - Obsession Hipgnosis FTW! and of course the album cover that embodies hard rock, The Cult - Sonic Temple Quote
Joelmon Posted December 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 I'm with you on the old jazz covers Swede....I love the portrait's mixed with whatever embellishments..but I like simple and defined too....the posture, the feeling I get from Miles Davis is unparalleled.....it's just him...but this is one of my favorites....

Ady Posted December 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 I forgot about this one. This was my introduction to Hawkwind over twenty years ago. I'd never heard their music and bought this because I liked the cover. Quote
Joelmon Posted December 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 I bought this one from the cover alone....when I was 16. Quote

Audrey Posted December 18, 2007 Posted December 18, 2007 I forgot about this one. This was my introduction to Hawkwind over twenty years ago. I'd never heard their music and bought this because I liked the cover. I just discovered Hawkwind about 6 months ago. Good stuff. Quote

Cali Posted December 18, 2007 Posted December 18, 2007 I love this photo of Neil Young, from the cover of Decade. Quote
Jahfin Posted December 19, 2007 Posted December 19, 2007 Can't say I've ever seen this on an album cover before. Quote
