This is the first Sugar Ray CD,which is their best, as it went downhill from there, featuring former Charles In Charge and Baywatch hottie Nicole Eggert.

I've always liked Frank Zappa's "The Man From Utopia" with him wrangling that Stratocaster neck. 8)

Since you gave me a 'heads up', I had some time to think.

Sgt. Pepper (Beatles) - Spent weeks trying to figure out who everybody was. Then later on, I looked for "Paul is dead" clues.

Some other favorites:

Led Zeppelin III - It had the thing you could turn to change the look of the cover.
Sticky Fingers (Rolling Stones) - Andy Warhol designed it. I have the original issue with the working zipper.
Exile On Main St. (Rolling Stones) - Lots of interesting stuff including the guy with the balls in his mouth.

Abbey Road is a classic...

There is a version of Jimi Hendrix Electric Ladyland that I picked up at a flea market that is....um...(how to put it...) interesting.

Yay, Jethro Tull! If you're a really huge Tull nerd (like me), you took the time to decipher the runes carved in the picture frame--they're the lyrics of the song "Broadsword"!

That "guitar shop" one is very cool, had to Google it.

And ELO's Out of the Blue was a great album both inside and out!!

Big surprise, but this has always been a favorite of mine:

The original 60s "The Endless Summer' by the Sandals.

It was so good, Gary Hoey used it as inspiration for the II in the 90s.

Rolling Stones Sticky Fingers hands down. It's also the greatest rock album of all time, in my opinion.

When most people think of Raymond Pettibon they think of the artwork he did for Black Flags album covers. This one he did for Sonic Youth is one of my faves...
