Best CD Cover ?

I must admit Prince of late has some very ordinary CD covers that look like something my 5 yr old daughter could design.
Planet Earth, Musicology, NPS, News etc

But back in the day some of his album covers were very cool.
So whats yr fave ?

Mine: ATWIAD
I just can't believe all the things people say !

The covers are all different, and nice. I'm not crazy about, "Chaos and Disorder" but I still appreciate black and white photography.

SOTT by far.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

Repetitive topic, but this is one that often gets discussed.

The following are his best:

Sign 'o' the Times
1999
Rainbow Children
3121
Around the World In A Day


Purple Rain is significant because its also the movie poster and it just rings 1984 whenever you see it. Its iconic, so its good in my book.

Worst...
Dirty Mind
Prince
Lovesexy
Parade
Come
Gold
Kick the old school joint 4 the true funk soldiers.

1. Sign 'o' the Times
2. 1999
3. Dirty Mind
4. Parade
5. Purple Rain

You know, those covers weren't *CD* covers back in the day wink
Besides, cover pictures look 1000x better on vinyl jackets than CD jewel cases smile

I like,

Lovesexy
Sign O' The Times
Rainbow Children
Batman (lol)
Parade
It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.
