Fav album cover ever and why?

Yes iam sure this has been done a zillion times, but I can't remember the last one so.....



GLENN MEDERIOS (SELF TITLED) 1990

Why? Because it was the first album I remember buying (I was 5!) and I just wanted to look as corny as him back then. Doing that pose on the sidewalk etc, trying to impress the ladies. I was an idiot and still am biggrin

Donna Summer's "Bad Girls" from front to back and all the inside pictures. I love pimps, hookers, nightlife, and anything wild.

I love this one too

I remember when i was in high school and this album came out, i wanted to be a cowgirl like madonna and do the "don't tell me" dance
I even bought a hat like that and the guys made fun of me

But i was expressing myslef like madonna wants, so all is good
EXPRESS YOURSELF
RESPECT YOURSELF
HAY HEY

I have a hard time choosing one fave, so don't hold me to this. But, I know this is ONE of my faves. The colors are so alive and the image, IMO, perfectly captures the vibe of this CD. I've purchased this image on tshirts, fleeces, badges, etc. I just can't get enough of it.

It's just impressive...you have these four music gods together wich is spectacular enough but the way they depict them on the cover...It's right on the money...they're an unstoppable force that's gonna wash over everything just like the weather.

Add elvis and hank and you have all you need to remember from the last 100 years of music (a bit over the top on that last one i know biggrin )
It was not in vain...it was in Minneapolis!

I like that it was a spoof of the old Elvis album cover where he's playing his guitar. It's almost as if The Clash were saying, "This is what we think of Elvis!"

Yep, the record is called Elvis Presley. I think they were commenting more on what was considered rebellious in 1979 as opposed to 1956, or simply to compare the state of rock 'n' roll in those two eras.

My favorite album cover is probably:
Sgt. Pepper. It's bold, big, beautiful, weird, unique, innovative.

Another favorite is also Beatles inspired:

The Abbey Road EP--Red Hot Chili Peppers

the elvis connection,.....

on the cover of elvis 1st album elvis presley he is holding a guitar upright a lot of people say this was the beginning of rock n' roll !

on the cover of the clash london calling the guitar is back on its way down to be smashed , what they were saying was , this is the end of rock n' roll ! well thats what paul simonon of the clash thinks and he's the one on the cover !

and they both have london calling/elvis presley written in green n' pink !
