Have to add just 3 more.

 

[Oh my god. it's Robby!]

OK, I'll bite, I got nothing better to do for the next hour
I warn you though, this is off the top of my head
not really an "album cover guy" but here goes:

always found it terribly romantic looking, can't help it

you can't miss with Dita on the cover of your album

Moz with a tommy gun, frakkin funny shit

look, it did not take much to arouse me at 12, alrite?

what can I say? back in the day, I was a big fan of Aidan Hughes artwork
OK, now its getting hard, but gonna try and think of 3 more:

had a T-shirt like this I use to wear when off-duty while I was in the army
ahh, the stares I got were priceless!

I like a lot of the ladies that appear on the cover of Jpop albums, but I thought I'd just pick one
lastly

kind of sums up the songs on it (& the band) in a lot of ways

-that took longer then I expected!

Lots of good picks Robby and Silentandgrey. Damn the Dita album cover and the one that says "Play" on it are hella hot! And the Pixies' "Surfer Rosa" (not pictured) is sweetness as well. It's ostentatious of me to add more album covers, but oh well. Here's five more-









I'm not wild about Owl City's music but dude has some great album covers.

 

[JJKelsall]

 

[Oh my god. it's Robby!]

hey JJK, some gr8 choices, I even bought 4 out of 5 of them in record stores
and with silentgrey's choices, only had to look up pictures of them for two (REM & Pearl Jam)
the others are just so memorable to me as well
lastly, I like the Frank Sinatra album cover, just watched a bio on him, fascinating stuff

 

[Rowntree]

Meat Is Murder
Alladin Sane
Kings Of The Wild Frontier
The Queen Is Dead
Antics
Purple Rain
I am a Bird Now
Back In Black
Years of Refusal
Wish You Were Here

 

[I Would Go Out Tonight]

Its gotta be All The Smiths covers if ever there was a reason to buy all the vinyl without having the means to play it, These would be

that reason.No one comes close the only cover on a par would be Savilles "Unknown Pleasures"

-The songs on the Weezer album aren't that great, but the album cover is cool.
