I remember posting a few of my favorite ones in a similar thread, nearly three years ago: cool album covers
Aside from that, stoner rock bands have quite a few stellar album covers. More particularly and impressively, the singer/guitarist of Baroness (John Dyer Baizley) paints all of his band's covers himself. Each album is named after a color...
this thread reminded me of one of my favorite music videos! i felt the concept was fresh and original. it has erykah badu in a record store (gasp!) going through the racks and recreating different album covers. the video showcased her eclectic style and music that inspired her. some of the albums included are:
3 feet high and rising - de la soul (thumbnail)
perfect angel - minnie ripperton
physical - olivia newton-john
nightclubbing - grace jones
maggot brain - funkadelic
let it be - the beatles
honey - ohio players
blue - diana ross
illmatic - nas
