Classic, simple and violent

I have always loved snakes and this cover.

I love this one. ROL represented the artistic peak of Madonna & the cover is perfect: mature, simple & attractive.

On the opposite end of the spectrum: a clear demonstration of everything that's wrong with POPular music today.

I thought of Shpongle but decided not to post artwork from them. Also, their new album (to be released Nov. 28) is kind of a let down a little bit (compared to the other album artworks, that is).

can is one of those bands that had great, inscrutable and arresting album covers. probably half the reason people bought them, music unheard, back in the day

jesus, charmlessman, you're all over the place. I dont know whether to love or hate that post.

And my contribution for the moment:
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_li-idC3EjJA/SjHZBwnV_rI/AAAAAAAAAGw/1O8Hobx_IoU/s320/Tweez.jpg.jpeg

Slint are a member of that select group of bands that just seemed to nail their peculiar sound with their art choices.

 

10/10/09 9:16 PM

Speaking of Charmless,I dunno if I hate or love the majority of Blur's album covers. Parklife was an odd choice. Must be a British thing.

 

10/10/09 11:52 PM

yeah, hard to call. I do really like Parklife and Blur's covers, though.

^ yes. The Blur earned their right to do that. The Oasis equivalent would be to take a photo of themselves in the prepackaged "pop art" cam on a macbook.
