There's a certain Big Black album that may get me banned for posting, but that has an awesome cover....


Here's a really bad one-

My favourite is Revolver: http://lineout.thestranger.com/files/2008/07/beatles-revolver.jpg

Though I also think Abbey Road is great:

I liked disturbeds-ten thousand fists and Korns-Follow the leader. I just like McFarlane lol. Can't leave out the Beatles-- SGT Peppers lonely heart band. That definitely needs to be in the top five

I'll have to check and get back to you though

If I was being too obscure, the Big Black cover I was thinking of was to an album called Songs about ****ing.

worst:

Alice in Chains self titled

its just a three legged dog

is it symbolic or something

The best album cover is Super Trouper from ABBA.

For me the entire back catalogues (bar, maybe one or two entries) the following bands usually offer up visual delights:

Iron Maiden, Dream Theater, Mastodon, Nile, Obituary & Iced Earth
