Many album covers are designed to go with the album and music within. What is your favorite album

[debm55]

cover? Please include the name of the group. Again any genre or time. Some covers are like pieces of art themselves.

[Ocelot II]

1. The Beatles' White Album.

[debm55]

2. Thank you.Wonder why they called it the "White Album"?

[lastlib]

28. They couldn't agree on a title for it....

(They never *named* it "the White Album".) Since they couldn't agree on a name, they just left it white, so that's what everybody called it.

Those were some difficult days for them as a band.

[ailsagirl]

38. Beat me to it!!

[hlthe2b]

3. Lots of rock covers which undoubtedly others will post. And, always liked "Its a Beautiful Day" but

Early in John Denver's career before all his later major hits (2nd or third early album, I think), he released
"Aerie" and the song of the same name so well encapsulated seeing a bald or golden eagle in the Colorado backcountry--as did the album cover below. Whenever I see an eagle now, I think of him and that song.

4. Thank you hithe2b. Beautiful cover.

[rsdsharp]

5. Rolling Stones, Sticky Fingers.

[happybird]

6. Rift by Phish

The album is about a restless night and odd dreams a man has during a break up with his partner. All the song titles (except one) are pictured or somehow represented in the artwork.


People noticed and complained that ‘The Horse’ was not represented so here’s the cover of their next studio album:





Addition:
That made me want to hear The Horse, it’s been awhile.
It goes together with another song calked Silent in the Morning.

This is from the legendary Halloween show where they played the entire White Album as their “musical costume.”

[Midnight Writer]

7. Richard Wright-Wet Dream

Stunning colors, but the fun is to try to spot all the hidden images of birds.

Great album, too, with tasteful guitar from Snowy White.

[Pinback]

8. "Stand Up" by Jethro Tull

“Nothin’ Is Easy” — especially mass-producing a gatefold album cover with pop-up art work!
