What the Best Album Cover Artwork Ever?
Ramble alert!
Once upon a time, music came from round spinny black things called records. And they were big and beautiful and tactile and precious. And they were protected by beautiful, creative paper or cardboard that was sometimes good enough to put in frames on walls (and if you ever come to my house I can show you some beautiful ones) and if you looked inside the big paper/card envelopes there would be more beautiful pictures and witty writings and sometimes even extra pieces of paper with words to the songs so you could sing along to the shiny round black spinny things....then evil cds arrived in their tiny plastic cases that often fell apart simply by opening them and grown men would argue about the production on Brothers in Arms in pubs. And the artwork and extras diminished.....then horror of all horrors the iPod arrived and suddenly there was no beautiful art or witty writings with the digital downloads and all the people who had known such wonders did weep.....
IF YOU'RE BORED JUMP TO HERE:
If you were to do a photoshoot mimicing Mina Suvari's iconic American Beauty rosepetal nude, but lying on a bed of beautiful arty album covers and your 'bits' covered by 3 special album covers (the boys can pretend they have lots to cover with 3 in a row, whilst you can guess where the girls ones are) what album covers would you have to use because you think they're the best covers ever.
(I could have made this post one sentence couldn't I : what are your top album cover artworks? doh)
