In the interests of staving off boredom and conducting a social experiment to see whether any actual likes me (or actively dislikes me) heres another pointless waste of your time - this time with pictures!!! !

Whats the best cover art then? Eh?
I'm going with:
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless (http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B000024TUJ.02.LZZZZZZZ.jpg)
I think this matches the music: its poorly defined and difficult to make out, but in an intensely clever and impressive way.
Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures (http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B000042O1H.02.LZZZZZZZ.jpg)
Simple but effective, what can I say?
Pogues - Rum Sodomy & The Lash (http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B000005S6C.02.LZZZZZZZ.jpg)
A cunning plan, my lord.

Admittedly, I did say there would be pictures: I lied, cos they refuse to work on my posts.
As for Pixies, I'd have to go with Come On Pilgrim - I so want to get hold of a vinyl copy with that big old hairy back on the front.
I'd have to say SMYT for FB's work, check out the cat @ http://www.cookingvinyl.com/frank_black/nadine/index.php

gah, terrible art all around but I suppose I'd go for the Joy Division one if I had to pick one other than COP

I don't have any particular favorites - way too much music to sift through for that, but off the top of my head, I've always liked these Einsturzende Neubauten album covers. The second one just cracks me up...

This one is rather freaky, as is the other single of Aphex Twin I have, but I can't find the image - Richard D. James' head on a woman's body stepping out of a swimming pool, very wacked.

I've always loved this simple cover. Lovely woman, that Cath Carroll.



Throbbing Gristle's cover for their "Adrenaline" single. (Has anyone else read that they're regrouping this spring?)

I couldn't find it, but the interior cover art to Tool's Undertow is disgusting, realmean. Ever seen it?

i couldn't find a good picture of it, and it's not even a real album, but i think Smell The Glove deserves serious kudos.

nope, I've never seen that cover glacial.

Yeah apparently that album isn't that rare WolfMan; I just saw it at my local record store too.
