Cover Me

i wouldn't really consider myself much of an art fan...i mean i like some arty shit now and again, but it's not something i spend a lot of time thinking about. the one form of art i really do care about is the art of the album cover. it's actually the biggest draw back of the digital music age because a new generation of music fans won't be able to appreciate how awesome album covers really are.

here are my top 10 favorite album covers of all time. apologies to Pink Floyd, the Beatles and Stones...but those were too damn obvious for me.

1. ROXY MUSIC- Country Life


2. IGGY & THE STOOGES- Raw Power


3. SONIC YOUTH- Goo


4. THE CLASH- London Calling


5. THE NATION OF ULYSSES- Plays Pretty For Baby


6. JOY DIVISION- Unknown Pleasures


7. THE JESUS AND MARY CHAIN- Psychocandy


8. THE SMITHS- Meat Is Murder


9. SLAYER- Reign In Blood


10. NIRVANA- In Utero


and a special place in my heart belongs to this masterpiece

BIG BEAR- Doin' Thangs
