Album covers - someone needs help

Truth be told, most of Prince's album covers aren't that good as they look more like fashion shoots than artistic statements having to do with the music. His artier ones such as ATWIAD, SOTT and Graffiti Bridge were decent but tried to cram too much in.

Worst - Musicology, what are those twigs in the background?

Best - 1999, because he obviously made it himself which goes along quite well with the funky studio sound of the album. I also like the Gett Off 12"

What are your favorites (or dislikes)?

1999 done in his own hand is priceless.

Rainbow Children is so lovely.

Love the look of One Night alone.

Diamonds and Pearls Holographic Cover.

Symbol.

Lovesexy.

Rainbow Children.

I think they're the best ones.

Actually thought Planet Earth had great packaging, the free coaster inside was a nice touch too!
