I always liked album art, mp3's and cd's just quite get it for art.

Uriah Heep and Yes come to mind for really cool art work.

As well as the Brain Salad Surgery album Larry, Tarkus has great great art too.

Funny thing about Blind Faith and Scorpions Virgin Killer

BF's airplane girl was 14 and topless, daughter of the artist?

VK was the nine-year old daughter of the RCA records exec, whom I think was okay with it but maybe not in her forties, forget some of the story.

Those are notorious although by some artistic bearing the Blind Faith is somewhat a true work of art.

So did Led Zeppelin get away with Houses Of The Holy because all you got were bottoms?

Don't forget that Elton John put Gauguin (he who went to the islands, married a teenage girl while still married and wrote back to his wife about the sex and stuff) of the cover of Blue Moods, around the time his wife found he was gay and left?

Now you know........the REST of the story.

The Santana artworks are beyond compare, treasures.

The Chicago LPs are fun to look at, 16 to 19 feature Chicago as a microchip and a tall building. I think V was a candy bar, they were gangsters in an auto chase with guns, in a scaffolding accident while trying to paint their logo on a wall with apartment dwellers looking up in house clothes/curlers...Chicago made for some fun covers.

Styx had Pieces Of Eight and Paradise Theater.

The Alan Parsons Project is notable because you might wish to frame virtually all of their covers. Eve, I Robot and Eye In The Sky, then Ammonia Avenue and Pyramid come to my mind.

Who's Next is another 60s-70s cover that like BF said "we don't ****ing care, here's some rock"

Who Are You is the final family portrait, the equipment kinda being like an old locomotive picture. This is our job and how we do it.

Moon dies, the blood and gravel in their eyes is gone and their last iconic cover, Face Dances features a canvas and tube of red paint. The paint focuses the entire image.

New Order covers are awesome. They call to you as much as the music. You remember the image even if the album's title escapes you.

Steely Dan had artwork from album one. A row of fifties working girls. Countdown To Ecstasy...

AJA.

And the understated but smart cover of Gaucho.

By the way, Gepetto, you could Photoshop Princess Leia's Jabba The Hutt top for Larry maybe?
