What are some of your favorite album covers?

Mine can be seen on my profile page, it's from the Peter Gabriel album Us. Pretty much every Gabriel album cover was awesome.

The cover to Plus by Ed Sheeran. Emotional connections.

This mofoe is a fricken icon. It was on the charts longer than any other album ever. We're not talking about the contennt of the album though. We're talking about the cover art. The cover art's my favorite because it's so simple yet so complex. It's really bold too. I will never look at the visible color spectrum the same ever again because of this album cover.

I'm just guessing that all of you first checked for a penis. Well there obviously is one, but I covered it up because of the rules.

Okay, well with that aside, this album has a lot of meaning. The naked baby chasing the dollar bill attached to a string represents a new musical artist who doesn't know the ropes yet, (which makes he or she vulnerable in a way) so they chase after the first shot they have. ALSO, like Dark Side of the Moon, 'Nevermind' has made a huge impact on the music world.

In all honesty, I'm about as scared of this album cover as Stewie Griffen is. So much so that I'm intrigued by it.

James Blunt - Some Kind of Trouble. Here's why: http://www.nevermindthebuzzkills.com/cover-art-1-james-blunt/ I am a huge fan of that family on Youtube. However this article is way out of date, a few years I believe, she has met James Blunt multiple times now and they have quite a few more subscribers than 800,000.

Born of Osiris' new album's cover looks awesome as well.

The deluxe version of Celldweller's Wish Upon A Black Star is interesting.

Off the top of my head, all I can think of is Glamazon by RuPaul. I just love the colors.

I've always been a fan of In an Aeroplane Over the Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel. It's so delightfully weird. https://www.google.com/search?q=in+an+aeroplane+over+the+sea&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=q2SJUp3qNMvqkQeKwYCICw&sqi=2&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1600&bih=741#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=du7namc_k5FkKM%3A%3BkYVv2DLJhjtLrM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.avwproductions .com%252Ftechheads%252Fwordpress%252Fwp-content%252Fuploads%252F2013%252F05%252Falbum-covers-in-the-aeroplane-over-the-sea-HD-Wallpapers.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.avwproductions.com%252Ftechheads%252Fwor dpress%252Fwhy-in-the-aeroplane-over-the-sea-is-the-greatest-indie-album-ever%252F%3B1280%3B800

I can't think of the best cover art (there's too many I like!) so have this.

Every time album covers are mentioned this abomination pops into mind. :D
