Your favorite album cover...


Album cover art ain't what it used to be.
I always admired the R. Crumb Big Brother cover.
Sticky Fingers is worth framing.
Hated Beggars Banquet and the White Album covers.
Neon Parks was fun, the Last Record Album and Weasels Ripped my Flesh come to mind.
London Calling is my favorite, a take off of an old Elvis album cover that captured the spirited intensity the band was producing at the time.
