Your favorite album cover(s)

[CaptainBoogerBuns]

This gem comes to mind

 

[UK82]

I could include many Mati Klarwein designed album covers but this one is my favorite.

 

[WildcatFan1982]

 

[BC_Wader]

Always liked the Journey and Boston covers.

 

[WildcatfaninOhio]

From the twisted mind of the great Frank Zappa...

I was going to post the Kiss Alive cover, I have many album covers framed and hanging in my basement, it is one of two Kiss, I also have Dressed To kill...

 

[Smashcat]

and...

Higgins was a fine 2nd tier piano player. A less neurotic Bill Evans. Late in his career all of his trio recordings had these cover photographs that looked like a still from a 60s French movie. Cool looking elegant women.

Quite an iconic cover given it was staged, and not during the actual concert. This cover put them on their way. And note that Ace has his guitar backwards.

[the nail at the foul line]

 

[UK82]

In honor of the 55th anniversary.

If you have one with the flames in the background then it's a collector's item.

 

[Mash 2.4]

 

[Nightwish84]

I'll leave off classics like Iron Maiden, Metallica, or Ozzy's solo stuff...

 

[J_Dee]

I'll leave off classics like Iron Maiden...

I've seen Maiden live more times than I can remember, but frack, Dance of Death...I'd like some of whatever the hell Rob Lockwood was smoking when he approved that cover. It must've been some epic stuff.

This King Crimson album cover scared the hell out of my little sister. She wouldn't go in my room for like 2 years. Perfect!

 

[WildcatfaninOhio]

I've always liked the artwork on the Judas Priest album cover for Sad Wings of Destiny.

One of the members here at Cats Illustrated has this as their avatar pic. Can't remember who it is. But it gets my attention whenever I see it.

[UK82]

My favorite inside cover (gatefold) album.

 

[WildcatfaninOhio]

I first heard about these two guys that created so many iconic album covers just a few months ago. I had no idea. Truly incredible, if'n you ask me. Meet the team known as Hipgnosis!

Albums with cover art by Hipgnosis

I don't know how I forgot this one...

This is the one you play for your new girlfriend man. If you know what I'm sayin

 

[UKfan34]

Dude cussed out the record company for trying to make him sit down for a picture. He didn't need them, they needed Him

You listened or know Higgins? Fantastic.

 

[Jeff Drummond]

Classic. And the song's cool, too.
