[Echoes]

What are your fave album covers?

I like Coldplay's 'A Rush of Blood to the Head':



and The Prodigy's 'The Fat Of The Land':

[sexual_harassment_panda]

Prodigy's is indeed cool...

I fucking love Faithless - Outrospective though...

[Echoes]

it's a good photo (i.e. your avatar) but I don't like the text on it

[Forgone Conclusion]

I like the OK computer and Origin of symmetry covers, also, A vs Monkey Kong looked cool

[Echoes]

Always reminded me quite a lot of

[The Phlegmy One!111]

Well Tool's Lateralus cover just owns your lives. RATM's self-titled is also cool.

[Forgone Conclusion]

I think the guy who did the album art for OK computer is selling the prints

The text that is on London's Calling is the same as from an Elvis album I think. Can't remember which one.

[Echoes]

Although I'm not massively keen on the band, I do quite like the cover art on Placebo albums, especially

Without You, I'm Nothing:


and Black Market Music:



EDIT: Post #400!

[Eh! Steve]

and

[Fallen Angel]

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Abbey Road, Division Bell by Pink Floyd and Dark Side Of Teh Moon, all covers of Iron Maiden.

[Eh! Steve]

I'm not such a big fan of the Maiden covers myself, but Dark Side of the Moon is a classic (as is Wish You Were Here, IMHO)
