Top 10 Album Covers

#1

Post by thellama73 »

I was perusing a book of rock album covers at the book store the other day, and I thought it might be fun to give our top ten favorite album covers. You don't even have to like the music, just the cover!

Here are mine, and it turns out that by happy coincidence, these are all among my favorite albums musically as well as graphically. No particular order.


King Crimson - In The Court of the Crimson King
Image

Be Bop Deluxe - Sunburst Finish
Image

Brian Eno - Another Green World
Image

Cluster 71
Image

The Crazy World of Arthur Brown
Image

The Velvet Underground and Nico
Image

T.Rex - The Slider
Image

Elvis Costello - This Year's Model
Image

Penguin Cafe Orchestra
Image

David Bowie - Low

I just realized that this whole list is a Six Degrees of Brian Eno game waiting to be played. That man runs like a thread through the tapestry of my musical taste.

These are in no particular order. I would need a lot more time to determine a true "top ten", but these are all album covers I really like. I tend to be fond of covers that execute a monochromatic scheme attractively.

Sigur Rós - Takk...

Image

Belle and Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister

Image

Steely Dan - Pretzel Logic

Image

Sibylle Baier - Colour Green

Image

King Crimson - In the Wake of Poseidon

Image

Joanna Newsom - Divers

Image

Robert Plant - Fate of Nations

Image

Yes - Relayer

Image

Camel - Stationary Traveller

Image

Björk - Vespertine

On the bright side, llama, anything I could put together would undoubtedly be worse than either of yours.

Iron Maiden - Powerslave

Image

Yes - Close to the Edge

Image

Caravan - In the Land of Grey and Pink

Image

My Bloody Valentine - Loveless

I included one album I don't even like (Yes - Relayer). I distinctly remember buying that album during my prog phase just because the cover was so cool, and then I ended up finding the whole thing incredibly boring.

I love that album. :D

But I like CTTE and TFTO more.

I quite like Yes, just not Relayer. CTTE and Fragile are my favorites.

I did have trouble with Relayer for a while, so that's understandable. It definitely grew on me over time; if I had only listened to it the first time or two, it'd still be a 2 or 3-star recording at best for me.

Yes had some pretty good album covers generally, so I knew I was including one of them. I would have considered Relayer, but I like the simplicity of CTTE the most for some reason.

I had a similar thought. My first task was to look at B&S, Steely Dan, and King Crimson just because those three groups always have great album covers.

I agree with that, even though I somehow didn't include any of them. You and Logan stole the best 2 KC covers I guess. :p

I like Camel well enough (depending on the album), but somehow haven't listened to them in like... forever. I should do that.

For purely prog material, it's all about the big three: Mirage, The Snow Goose, and Moonmadness. My favorites are much later though: Dust and Dreams, Harbour of Tears, and A Nod and a Wink.

Not at all. I really like what we did with that one. It was a great day and memorable. I like that there's this American ruggedness with the presence of that beat-up relic- something nostalgic and familiar, but at the same time the image evokes a sense of mystery and slight uneasiness.

Great lists, MP and Epi! In the Land of Grey and Pink really does have a great cover, although I don't like the album at all.

I love Camel, but am not so into their album covers. Mirage is fantastic, particularly the keyboard solo on Nimrodel.
