Re: Top 10 Album Covers
My comment was mostly in jest; I actually really like the way it turned out too.Epignosis wrote: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.MovingPictures07 wrote:Shameless self-plug there?

Re: Top 10 Album Covers
I like Camel well enough (depending on the album), but somehow haven't listened to them in like... forever. I should do that.

Re: Top 10 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.JaggedJimmyJay wrote: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.

Re: Top 10 Album Covers
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.

Re: Top 10 Album Covers
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.JaggedJimmyJay wrote:I quite like Yes, just not Relayer. CTTE and Fragile are my favorites.

Re: Top 10 Album Covers
I love that album.JaggedJimmyJay wrote: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.

But I like CTTE and TFTO more.

This is an awesome idea. I'm going to have to think about this.
