favorite album cover art As most of us know album cover artwork is becoming somewhat of a lost art form. Before videos and CDs life size album cover work sometimes set out to be just as provocative and entertaining as the music itself.
Let’s post and discuss some of your favorite album cover art past or present. here are a few I really like

I'm sorry but some of these are as bad as it gets. I mean of course this is a thread on "favourite" album cover art not the most sophisticated, but damnnn...
And just for your information, I think even the cover art on "Here My Dear" and "Innervisions" are hideous. I'm not the only one who thinks that way either. | |

That is why I said let's post and discuss. So you can feel free to discuss why you may love or hate any kind of album cover art. | |

You know, That's one of the first album covers I remember knocking me out as a kid-- I was maybe, four of five when that album came out, but I remember staring transfixed at that cover...that one, and Santana's Abraxas cover... Then, of course I had uncles and older cousins that had all the Funkadelic albums--- them covers scared the crap out of me, especially America Eats its young: 
I wasn't quite ready for that one...and I ain't even gonna explain my reaction to those Ohio Players album covers,

the pop out city of Atlantis and the cut out characters are cool 
controversial album covers 
Many retailers refuse to carry the album due to the nude cover. 
After a public outcry over the "butcher" cover, the record company recalled copies and the virgin killers album cover from The Scorpions.. I can't post that  | |
