      I also really like Tool's Aenima cover. And....Nirvana's In Utero. Damn near every single Bjork album...but Biophilia in particular, even though it's my least favorite album of hers. Um.....I'm blanking lol. OH OH....the first 2 Jane's Addiction albums!!! Those are absolutely gorgeous. Marilyn Manson's PoaAF. Deftones - Gore. And the _worst_ cover of all time, imo? A Perfect Circle - 13th Step. Incredible album...but SHIT cover.

    I think the cover art for London Calling is the best album art of all time by a considerable margin. To me the image of Paul Simonon smashing his bass is a defining image of Rock 'n' Roll, and specifically punk and The Clash. The use of the text design from Elvis' first LP demonstrates how The Clash took onboard their many influences and explored them on the record, giving a nod to the past while simultaneously bringing them up-to-date and taking them forward.
    The best album of all time in my opinion, wouldn't change a single thing about it.

I was always impressed by how visually appealing the artwork was, while also capturing the smooth, chill, funky vibe of the music, and also showing, to some degree, the difference between 3 stacks and Big Boi (although, admittedly, Stankonia did a better job at that last thing).

    Styx's Grand Illusion is still one of my favorites. The wierd abstract imagery with the track the albums named after invokes an almost ancient feeling. This combined with the lyrics talking about the Unhappiness we feel from not living up to others standards and that we are all thr same deep down makes it a very good album cover. Add in my favorite track from the record "man in the wilderness" the forest motif from the album cover melds into the lyrics talking about isolation from the outside world.

      came here to say this. most iconic album cover for the most seamless, artfully-constructed album of all time. what sets melodrama apart from so many other albums isn’t just the brilliant wordplay and clever use of synth sounds with vocals (hard feelings/loveless), it’s how the album only works as a WHOLE. the entire album tells the chronological story of a whirlwind romance, a breakup, and moving on. it’s PHENOMENAL and I cannot stress enough how perfect melodrama is
