I have always liked this one for it's simplicity.

Plus "Barbados" and "Heart of the Night" are great songs.

Trivia: this cover was drawn by Phil Hartman of Saturday Night Live.

I used to wonder why they chose who did and didn't make
it onto this cover art:

The Rolling Stones "Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out" always cracked me up...especially since it was the most serious guy in the band (Charlie Watts) jumping in the air...

Joe Walsh's "The Smoker You Drink, The Player You Get" is another classic.

Waylon Jennings "Ol' Waylon" was a big player in our household, too.

I always enjoy Joe Walsh's covers, they show his twisted sense of humor.

Sticky Fingers by the Rolling Stones. I have a copy from 1971 with the working zipper in storage. The vinyl has just been reissued, but the cover is a bit different from the original. Can't find a decent pic of it to post.

Thanks!

Another favorite was "Hendrix in the West" - you could almost sense
the energy from looking at that cover.

Hmmm...It's a toss up between Black sabbaths debut album and Ty Segall Sleeper
Two very different covers, yes. But I can't make up my mind.
Pallbearer also have some very intensely stylised artworks on their two albums

Lots of good one here. This is one of my favorites, reminds me of the '60s, and the music is great, remixes of killer White Zombie songs.
