Favorite album cover art? Doesn't have to be a judgement on the music, just the cover art

Bad Religion came on in my drive to work today and I forgot how great the album cover for Suffer is. I think London Calling also has one of the most iconic album covers of all time, especially highlighted by the elvis twist.

The Graduation and Kids See Ghosts cover done by Murakami are also great. Art Angels in the same category.

And my hottest take is that 1000 gecs is actually one of the most iconic album covers to come out in recent years.

What do y'all think?

Late 90s early 2000s rap covers were insane. Only marginally related but Doggy Style also has to be up there of greatest covers ever

great album cover, also up there are aquemini, atliens, moment of truth, there are so many, imo they're so bad that they're good

It’s so funny how Aquemini looks like that and has that name but is also one of the best albums of all time

I agree on 1000 gecs, the art is just as iconic as their music. I can't really put it into words, but I feel like the low effort "memeiness" really compliments their sound. It's random, but not in the dreaded millennial "haha so random spork!" sense. More Zoomer energy.

Unironically Smash Mouth’s Astro Lounge. I love the poorly rendered 3D art, like proto vaporware in a sense.

​

Machine Girl’s ". . . Because I'm Young Arrogant And Hate Everything You Stand For" is pretty out there.

Sweet Trip’s "Velocity: Design : Comfort." is pretty trippy.

I find most Thrash Metal album covers to be repulsive, but I’m really drawn to Death’s “Spiritual Healing” art.

Magdelena Bay’s "Mercurial World" is very nice to look at.Any of The Orb album covers are also pretty neat.

I like the simplicity of most Shoegaze albums, like Ride’s Nowhere.

Molchat Doma’s Этажи Is iconic.

I like that Black Flag album with the guy punching the mirror. Very edgy.

Gotta love the clipart style on https://genius.com/Zack-fox-and-kenny-beats-jesus-is-the-one-i-got-depression-lyrics

Wow that Alan Parsons Project one is great, reminds me of a mix of retrofuturism and pop art. You also like gothic art it seems
