Great album covers. What are your top 10 fav covers of all time???

Mine...in no order:

Houses of the Holy - led zepplin

License to Ill - beastie boys

Wolf City - amon duul II

Sign O the Times - Prince

Nevermind - nirvana

Wish You Were Here - pink floyd

Nothing's Shocking - jane's addiction

Mother's Milk - rhcps

Bitches Brew - miles davis

Abraxas - santana

I always liked Jane's Addiction's Nothing Shocking and Ritual de lo Habitual.

Got a thing for nudity bluish?

Funny that you should mention this though. I was just thinking about how many great covers there were from the first half of the 90's and then they died off. Seeing Mellon Collie in the store is what got me thinking about this. That was such a cool time. I'll get back with you with a partial list of favorites.

Have you guys seen the album cover for Santana's new CD 'Shaman'? It's incredible! He has five of his musical heroes on the cover with him...Marvin Gaye,Jimi Hendrix,Miles Davis,Bob Marley and John Coltrane.

Off the top of my head, and in no particular order:


1999 - Prince
Around The World In A Day - Prince
Songs In The Key Of Life - Stevie Wonder
Original Musiquarium - Stevie Wonder
Upstairs At Eric's - YAZ
Why Can't We Be Friends - WAR
Destiny - The Jacksons
Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - The Beatles
Tattoo You - Rolling Stones
Even Worse - "Weird" Al Yankovic
Comedy Ain't Pretty - Steve Martin
Fantastic Voyage - Lakeside

My absolute favorite album cover is Dr. John, In The Right Place. I would spend hours as a kid looking at this thing... it's a very, very strange cover... fold out and all that... lemons that look like boobies... bugs on a hill that looks like a hairy butt... very weird. I would always find something new each time I looked at it. It's almost like "I Spy".
