Which three album covers do you like the most?

Mine:

1. Emancipation (I can see the sun, I'm breaking free of the chains)
2. Dirty Mind (I don't care what you think...)
3. Purple Rain (I'm here on my bike, I'm confident and I've got a woman)

2. SOTT (There's more to me than Purple Rain..just look take a look)
3. 3121 (i'm back...now lets dance..)

Da, Da, Da....Emancipation....Free..don't think I ain't..! London 21 Nights...Clap your hands...you know the rest..
James Brown & Michael Jackson RIP, your music still lives with us!

TRC (Beautiful piece of art)
1999 (shows so much of Prince's personality)
SOTT (It's so junky and crammed until it's cool)

I like the Batman cover. If you look really hard, that thing on the cover looks like a bat.

Sign O the Times is the best cover.

Honourable mention: TRC (of course).

A lot of the related artists stuff have great covers too - Jill Jones, The Family, all the Sheila E and The Time records, Mazarati, Exodus, Ingrid Chavez, Eric Leeds' Times Squared is very good too, it reminds me of The Family a lot.

cool

Sorry, but a lot of the post-WB album covers are utter rubbish - Emancipation, Musicology, Rave (wins the 'unintentionally hilarious' award).

I loved the packaging on The Family's album. The packaging captured the music of the album.

I also loved Sheila E's self titled album cover. I just wish it had been a gatefold.

If we were voting for the worst, I would definitely give it to Musicology. I liked the booklet, but the cover art with the pixelated background and horrible font was very tacky.

well, DURRR! It's the bat symbol! lol

1.Parade. (my Favourite picture of P. Period.)
2.Dirty Mind (Not immediately obvious, the bedsprings behind him. Brilliant!)
3. 1999 (seeing as it was his own art, i dug this and was always checking the vinyl for anything hidden in it)

What's hilarious about the Emancipation cover? I think it clearly demonstrates his message of liberation, not being too much or too little.

"Just tacky" smile I strongly disagree. If one wants to demonstrate liberty by breaking one's chains I think that is a very good way to do it.

As for the Rave cover, I'm lukewarm. I like the symbol as always but I never had warm feelings about that tight blue dress (from a heterosexual standpoint.)
