Sometimes album and single covers are strangely intriguing.
We want to know about your favorite album/single covers and artwork.
If you have a reason, it would be great if you could also comment on why you like it.

 

Pink Floyd - Animals
When I saw the cover for the first time (1977/78), I thought it was painted.
When I flew to london about 10 years later,
I saw this building in real life and thought WOW!
I will never forget this moment.

 

The Beatles, ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’ (1967)


The cover features many personalities from that era at a glance! There's something to discover!

Van Halen...

 

Cliche though it be, I love me some Roger Dean and my favorite is this one:

Well, to me the cover is often interlinked with the music within, and this is one of my favourites, as it's just as abstract as the music on the record, so Can's Tago Mago:



Then there's this scary thing, sometimes the cover is just as powerful as the music. I wish I still had the poster (moving is a bitch), King Crimson - In Court of the Crimson King:

 

The Prodigy have done it again! :

Am I (already) coming back with New Order - New Monday


It's not an album, but it's so cool, designed by Pete Saville and Brett Wickens (1982/83)

 

First one to share Abbey Road is getting smashed in the balls.

 

Koxbox - Dragon Tales

 

I love coverless singles and compacts. Some of the best music is in these gems. If I were to release something today, even if it were purely digital, I'd go with this type of art.
