I would like to throw in Jethro Tull’s ‘A Passion Play.’

and it is the inverse of ‘This is Hardcore’ – a desaturated image of a dead, supine brunette.

Coop’s cover for “Voodoo-U” by Lords of Acid

Patrick Demarchelier’s photo for both “janet” by Janet Jackson and the cover of Rolling Stone

The Rolling Stones seem to have some desire for great covers:

Robert Brownjohn’s sculpture for the cover of “Let It Bleed”
&
Robert Frank’s photo used as the cover of “Exile on Main Street”

Captain Fantastic & the Brown Dirt Cowboy: Elton John. I remember being mesmerized (and often revolted) by the creepy things hidden in there. I have no idea who did the artwork.

The Andrew WK album cover always had me thinking a woman titled it after Andrew WK ravaged her lady bits bloody. Not sure if that is a comment on myself or some half-formed political opinion regarding a woman’s all too oft position in rock or what, but that’s what I think every time I see the cover. FWIW, my ears couldn’t pick Andrew WK out of a lineup if their hearing depended upon it. The cover tells me I won’t like the music, and thus I’ve never listened. Awful that I haven’t given it a go.

How can you overlook all the amazing work by Hipgnosis? Still, great choices and good news!

No Beatles covers? Sgt Pepper and Revolver are amazing. Also you could mention the White Album if only for it’s simplicity and influence.

Sooo happy Licensed to Ill was on here. It was the first cover to pop into my head when I read the headline of the article.
