Favourite Album Cover Art
For me it's got to be;
Merriweather Post Pavilion by Animal Collective http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/users1...6052038308.jpg Leaders of the Free World by Elbow http://www.albumoftheyear.org/album/...free-world.jpg Upstair's at Eric's by Yazoo http://www.recordstore.co.uk/images/...STUMM7-300.jpg Penthouse and pavements by Heaven 17 http://heaven17.com/blog/uploaded_im...ent-713394.jpg Peter Gabriel (Melt) by Peter Gabriel http://magyar.mashkulture.net/wp-con..._gabriel_3.jpg Viva La Vida by Coldplay http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3152/...a84b12f0bc.jpg These are just some of my favourites off the top of my head, special mention also to the Pet Shop Boys who had a knack of making some great innovative album covers. |

"Very" by the Pet Shop Boys is definitely a candidate.

Take That's circus album artwork is quite cool.
Britney's "circus" album and Cheryl Cole's "3 words" are very pretty and cute. ![]() Mika's album cover's are always interesting too. EDIT: the best has to be Paolo Nutini's "Sunny Side Up". I just love it.

One that springs to mind is;
Kate Bush - Never Forever: http://http://upload.wikimedia.org/w...er_Forever.jpg Oh and The Cure's Disintegration is pretty good too: http://http://diskoduck.cz/shop/imag...NTEGRATION.jpg Both album covers suit the albums I think, sort of. |

|Of the recent (ish) albums I'd plump for Enigma's "Seven Lives Many Faces".......
http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?im...26tbs%3Disch:1 A straight forward picture doesn't really do it justice. The actual CD cover is much more lush imo. Also love Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours". A timeless image. Simple but effective. |

The Gate-fold sleeves pioneered, so I have been told, by The Moody Bues were always superb. Masquerade Overture by Pedragon has all the art work done by Simon Williams and his work is always beautiful.

I love Rihanna's Rated R album cover. I think it's edgy and just brilliant. Really shows what the album results in being anyway
Florence and the machine - Lungs. Just love it. Represents the title as well. |

Meat Loaf's "Bat Out Of Hell" album cover (or even parts 2 and 3 for that matter)

It is very good. But it doesn't beat Oracular Spectacular.

I always liked this one.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...I/RelayerA.jpg Relayer by YES. I didn't own the album, but I had the poster on my bedroom wall for a while. The artist, Roger Dean did a lot of album covers for a lot of bands at the time. |
