That's No Moon Posted August 12, 2018 Posted August 12, 2018 Spinal Tap - Smell the Glove. If you asked how much more black this could be the answer is none, none more black. 1 1
Gray Beard Posted August 12, 2018 Posted August 12, 2018 Outstanding covers? Iconic albums maybe. I’m not sure why the covers are outstanding. Covers of outstanding albums, or outstanding album covers? Ain’t the English language wonderful? 1 1

Covers of outstanding albums, or outstanding album covers? Ain’t the English language wonderful? Yeah... I will go with iconic. So many to choose from... But stopped short of the 80s/90s... I guess CDs too small?? Yet, iconic, no Poco? (Phil Hatman, thought would have gotten a nod) I guess too many to choose from:

Gray Beard Posted August 12, 2018 Posted August 12, 2018 This album came out when I was in junior high, and I thought the picture on the cover was hysterical. Great music, too. 2 1
Mr Info Posted August 12, 2018 Posted August 12, 2018 Pertinent to this thread. http://ultimateclassicrock.com/hipgnosis-album-covers/ Interesting anecdotes to (in)famous album covers by Hopgnosis. Includes covers for Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Genesis, Peter Gabriel, and others.

Covers of outstanding albums, or outstanding album covers? Ain’t the English language wonderful? I think its because we've seen them all thousands of times... the younger generation (earbud generation) probably hasn't seen 10 of them. And you're right, for the most part these are just outstanding albums. There is other good artwork out there... Jasper Wrath from 1971 for example, up close its some guys sitting a cave. Set it across the room and its a monster face:

DC Tom Posted August 12, 2018 Posted August 12, 2018 Any list that doesn't contain Abraxas is nonsense.
frostbitmic Posted August 12, 2018 Posted August 12, 2018 Here are a couple others I thought that would've been included

If you asked how much more black this could be the answer is none, none more black. I believe their album "Shark Sandwich" received merely a two word review: "**** sandwich."

Heavy Kevi Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 I have spent endless hours listening to this record spin and staring at the many images in this cover art. One of my favorite records and album covers.
