Title: What are your favorite album covers?
Post by: Rao on May 12, 2008, 12:30:11 AM
So, Koopaslaya, some other people and I were discussing album covers once in #TMK, when Koop came up with the idea for this thread. And he told me to go ahead and start it, since he said he's not good at starting topics. Anyway, my favorite album covers would have to be...

Relayer by Yes

The Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd

Power Windows by Rush

and Surfing With the Alien by Joe Satriani

Dark Side of the Moon is all I can really think of off the top of my head (but if I see one more kid wearing one of those shirts...).

My all-time favorite album cover is Relayer by Yes. In fact, I have the album framed and hanging in my room.
(You've already seen that image, so I won't re-post it.)
A close second would be Yes's Tales From Topographic Oceans.
(https://themushroomkingdom.net/board/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.connollyco.com%2Fdiscography%2Fyes%2Ftopographic_hi.jpg&hash=e52d633b9d389fcfdac983a537253b17)
You've gotta love Marillion's Script for a Jester's Tear.
(https://themushroomkingdom.net/board/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.prato.linux.it%2F%7Elmasetti%2Fantiwarsongs%2Fimg%2Fupl%2Fscript.jpg&hash=8df816ec44877c817017d7a9670cad59)
After that, I think my next favorite would be Ritual's Hemulic Voluntary Band.
(https://www.insideoutshop.de/images/HemulicVoluntaryBand72.jpg)
Next, it would have to be The Tangent's [A Place in the Queue[/i].
(https://themushroomkingdom.net/board/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fmusicsojourn.com%2FAR%2FProg%2Fimg%2Ft%2FTangent%2FAPlaceInTheQueue_300.jpg&hash=fdcd1174065f414a616532cfd3cfd0ad)
After that, my next favorite is FROST*'s Milliontown.
(https://www.insideoutshop.de/images/FROST01.jpg)
Finally, my favorite after all of those is Relayer's The Teething Fashion.
(https://themushroomkingdom.net/board/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.angular-records.com%2Fcover%2Fcov8203.jpg&hash=79beab5d4c7404300e6aed14d32064e4)
I guess the last one isn't all that impressive, except for the fact that the kid looks a lot like I did when I was a little guy.
The only time I ever bought an album because of its art when when I bought Carptree's Man Made Machine. The music did not disappoint.

I rather like the cover of the Kingdom Hearts OST. I'll post a picture when I get home, since my school's Internet is going soooooooooo slooooooooow that I can barely browse the Internet, let alone find/upload pictures. Also, a lot of Beatles album covers.

The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band is pretty awesome.

As is Frank Zappa's parody with We're Only in it for the Money

Buckethead's Giant Robot is awesome.

Neil Young's On the Beach is excellent as well.

I've got a lot of non game album covers I like, but here are my two favorite video game albums for now.

I'm sure it does.

It's so hard to pick favorites.  An excellent dozen (and certainly with my bias for the actual musical material within), though, are:

This thread reminds me: the other day I saw a 500-piece puzzle of this:
