Favorite Album Art

Shoutout to @LainIsLain for inspiring this from the Favorite Album thread

 

What are your favorite album covers? 

 

I was initially going to post just the artwork in particular that I love, but I realized there are some that I love based upon what the album is. The art may not stand out on it's own, but having listened to the album, it fits perfectly (Particularly with the Dead Kennedys one). Some are special just because I love the album so much

I tend to like psychedelic artwork, not surprisingly, I guess

 

Post pictures, but please try to keep them at a reasonable size, unless you really need it to be a full page so it can be seen in the detail you want. Just copying the one from the album's wikipedia page works pretty well, that's what I did. I will not post so many at once in the future. Probably

 

Love - Forever Changes (also one of my favorite albums, possibly number 1)

Colorful human faces merged into one head, has text, all on a white background

 

Funkadelic - Standing On The Verge Of Getting It On (they have a number of cool ones)

Elf Power- When The Red King Comes

Grateful Dead - American Beauty (my god I love this album to death. My entrance into the jamband world, although it is not remotely a jamband type of album)

 

A woodgrain panel with a circle in the middleâinscribed is a rose surrounded by the words "American Beauty".

 

Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (home town favorite!)

A line drawing of skyscrapers

 

Cream - Disraeli Gears

Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables (I never cared much for punk before I listened to this. Jello Biafra is great, love his songwriting)

The first one that came to mind was Slayer's God Hates us All:

Image result for god hates us all

 

There's probably a few others, but I'll have to get back to you on that.

Goat - World Music

Tame Impala - Lonerism (I love this one because it captures the feeling of being separated from everyone and unable to ever join in and feel like part of the world that is having fun and making friends)

Shelter by Alcest. This image feels like it visualizes the one feeling im striving for in life. Feeling the warmth of the sun and the warmth of being loved and secure

I super appreciate this thread! So many beautiful album covers!

Here's a few album covers I absolutely love, in no particular order

 

King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King (this is my favorite album of all time and, shocker, my favorite album cover. I even have a painting of it hanging up in my room!)
