Best Album Covers

[Extended Play]

Here are my picks:

1. Dark Side of the Moon - Come on, what's more iconic than the classic prism on the original LP cover. It's been redone 4 time since the original, but that one version still stands as a classic, instantle recognizable work of pop-art.

2. Brain Salad Surgery - Yet another iconic piece by one screwed up weirdo. H.R. Geiger was asked to airbrush out the penis that stuck up below the woman's chin (geiger's wife). Both this and Tarkus are ELP's signature sleeves of the 70s. Unfortunately, the original sleeve (which swung open in panels) hasn't been completely resurrected, but at least the cd version has a motion device that lets you into a bit of the original.

3. In The Court Of The Crimson King - What other album cover screams (literally) to be picked up and listens to? The artist thatpainted it, Barry Godber, died before he was able to pain another Crimson album cover.
