I like this one because it's only the beginning...or is it the end?

This is my own particular favourite.

Norma Jean's "Revolver" cover. Honestly, probably my favorite. Little known fact; Asterik Studios recieved a Grammy nod for it.

Velvet underground one

I'm willing to bet the first is older.

Not sure as hell tho.

NOFX - "Heavy Petting Zoo"

That's hilarious. wt...?

I can't believe that guy up there said The Black Album by Prince.

Some of my favourites, without being too obvious:

Question for anyone. Does anyone here catch themselves purchasing an album on impulse because of a catchy cover?

It's happened. Usually like an electronica compliaton with flashy graphics or some hot babe on the front wearing a silver bikini.

Thought..."looks cool...surely some good stuff on there". Nope not a single track...and that was that.

Sometimes the urge is there but I never do that.

Just ordered it.

Also, for ****'s sake, 'The Black Album'. Literally getting out of hand.

Did you, seriously? Honestly, I think The Sounds are the better parts of Blondie and Heart. I'd also like to add..the greatest performer..every since..

No, no I didn't. I just spent some alone time with the cover.

Yup

Guilty.

It was an album of John Zorn, and it sucked. But what a beautiful cover.

Job For A Cowboy just debuted their album art on MySpace literally a minute ago..and I may have a new favorite;

http://a609.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/53/l_723e2287e61f0cfe1efecd226252dba0.gif

Blood Mountain by Mastodon.

http://www.mastodonrocks.com/store/items/blood-mountain-CD.png

They've been using that for their backdrop at shows as of late. Looks a lot more "mystical" with spinning strobe lights. Kind of like being on acid, minus the acid.

Forgot to add:

Doe Maar - Doris Day en Andere Stukken

How seriously are you looking to be taken with a Starfox avatar?

DO A BARREL ROLL..or just chill out.

You're the one that should chill out mate, sending threatening messages to people because they sign the same sig as your mate. I should have reported you as soon as I recieved that message.

Also thanks for reminding me, I've been meaning to change my avatar for a while.

I guess by "threatning" you mean "suggesting". He and I aren't close by any means, but I've been here long enough (over 3 years) to know not to get under his skin. You could have reported, me and they'd look the other way. I figured I was doing you a service.

..but..just trying to lighten the mood.

**** yeah! USE THE BOOST TO GET THROUGH! falco is such an impudent little shit.

anyway. i really like rocketship's "a certain smile, a certain sadness" cover. iggy pop's "lust for life" is an excellent cover...leonard cohen's "death of a ladie's man".

Alright mate, sorry for gettin' angry n' all that.
