Coolest Album Covers

Published on November 16, 2005 By Ionolast In Music

For me, there are two major ones.

First, Jefferson Starship's 1976 release Spitfire. Not necessarily because she's (I guess that's supposed to be Grace Slick), getting high, but also because of how the smoke curves around and becomes the dragon she's sitting on.

Second, Deep Purple's 1970 Deep Purple in Rock. Looks like a better use of Mount Rushmore to me.

So, what album covers make you say, "Wow, heavy, man!"?

Please don't post huge pics.

Furry, I tried to come up with some newer covers myself, but alas, I have fallen to the modern era myself and get most my music from the internet. Not even sure what Evanescence, Three Doors Down, or even The Offspring's latest album covers look like.

Sex Pistols? Weren't they the ones who everyone thought sucked... until Sid Viscious died and made them international punk stars? ;~D

'Sex Pistols? Weren't they the ones who everyone thought sucked ... until Sid Viscious died and made them international punk stars?'

Everyone in the US perhaps, but not so in the UK. I saw them in 1977 and they were phenomenal. Indeed, many felt (and still feel, I should imagine) that it was when Vicious first JOINED the band (replacing Glen Matlock) that they became a parody of what they had once been. (I saw them a second time when they reformed in the mid-90s, with Matlock back in the fold, and they were tremendous.)

Anyway, isn't this thread supposed to be about album covers, not musical preference?
