AWESOME ALBUM COVER ART THREAD

[trip2themoon]

Indeed:

I love Peter Saville's simple designs, this one based on a pulsar's radio waves:

Not an album but a 12" single, another of Peter Saville's designs:

Chris dug this out Bob's collection shortly before he became Tomgirl:

 

[Christ-Chan]

Budgie are pretty cool!

[Metal Sink]

Immortal Technique – Revolutionary, Vol. 1

 

[Da Pickle Monsta]

GWAR MOTHERFACKERS!

Oh man, I fucking love me some GWAR. "Lust in Space" and "Beyond Hell" are my two favorite albums, but I'm partial to the cover artwork on "Violence Has Arrived."

Spoiler

In Flames also has some pretty cool cover art, especially "Whoracle."

Spoiler

Iron Maiden seems to have the market cornered on badass artwork:

And you have to love the Murder Mermaid off of Dethklok's "The Dethalbum 2":

I'm rather fond of this one.

That one too, even if it is quite simple-looking.

Green Day's Insomniac cover art is pretty cool. So is Husker Du's Zen Arcade.

For the category of "Album Art To Look At While Getting Stoned In The '70s" I nominate all of Roger Dean's Yes covers.

oh, I just love Roger Dean's album art! His covers for Asia were also awesome.

GWAR MOTHERFACKERS!

NWW has amazing art.

The remaster of you get sick; you regret things has a really great painting.

Damned impossible to pronounce, but holy shit Huxwhukhw.

Somehow red sky + white mountains makes me think of... Evangelion? I dunno.

Warning, big ol' pics.

 

[Really makes you thunk]

Blind guardian has some pretty spectacular album/ single artwork.

Spoiler

So uhh, would it be smug of me to post artwork that I made, and is being used as cover art for someone's song? Don't care, posting it anyway.

That's a Rhino with bat wings goring someone with a chainsaw horn. Awesome band, too.

 

[Shadow Fox]

Judas Priest, "Screaming for Vengeance":

Emerson, Lake and Palmer, "Tarkus":

Pink Floyd, "Dark Side of the Moon":

Mike Oldfield, "Tubular Bells":

Rush, "In Rio"

Tangerine Dream has a lot of interesting covers, but I really like "Mota Atma":

Also seconding all of Roger Dean's work. Beautifully trippy.
