Obviously the music industry has changed over the past decade or so. CDs are becoming less popular, with digital downloads taking their place. While I am partial to the odd bit of downloading (just for the sheer convenience of it), I still love CDs. I love having something tangible to hold, a booklet to flip though and some cover art to gaze at.
While there are some truly horrendous album covers out there, there are also some truly fantastic ones too. Here are a few of my favourites.
Revolver – The Beatles
London Calling – The Clash
Abbey Road – The Beatles
Ramones – Ramones
Not So Tough Now – Frenzal Rhomb
Milo Goes to College – The Descendents
Who’s Next – The Who
The Eraser – Thom Yorke
On The Beach – Neil Young
The Information – Beck
It looks plain, but the album was released with a blank cover and one of four different sheets of stickers for fans to make their own album art. Pretty awesome, right? One of my friends, G, was so excited about the sheet of stickers that he spent the better part of a day designing his album art, only to be extremely disappointed by his efforts at the end of the day and getting the shits with it. Hilarious.
