This one was pretty iconic.


And it's back side was even more so.

When I was a kid if someone'e parents had this album it would be examined very closely when they were out of the house....





the inside foldout was even more provocative.

I was enthralled as a 13 year old but not even sure what was going on here but I was intrigued.

Tres Hombres has the greatest inside cover of all time.
Taken at Leo's Mexican Restaurant on Shepherd. You could find Billy and Dusty in there a couple times a week.
Now, unfortunately closed.

I love classic rock but I've never been into album covers. My music collection started with cassettes, which had cover art limitations. This thread is making me re-evaluate my life.

I have two friends with incredible rooms filled with album covers, but there are so many albums, and they're all a little small for wall artwork. I may find 10 covers and get poster sized posters instead of the smaller album covers.

This was the Rolling Stone readers poll top 10 album covers.










The first only counts if you include the post cards that came with it.

The second only counts of you are talking about the version with the working zipper.

His persona is off-putting (though legit for his dad, with whom he has unresolved issues)

What I appreciate about Springsteen is he really cares about giving the audience their money's worth, and he admits and has fun with that "persona put-on."

He does have some excellent songs - I remember being first hit by Murder Inc. like a freight train....and stuff left of the cutting room floor that makes up 18 Tracks is ... damned great.

I think Bruce and I would get along famously.

Not even the most shocking Scorpions cover....this one for Virgin Killers got banned for good reason.

I'm not gonna post this pic but a link....
BE WARNED don't click the link if easily offended. Involves inappropriate and underage material.

The original cover for GNR's Appetite for Destruction was also pulled after release.

It was later included as a insert and replaced with the well known skull and cross bones logo

I agree, but the outside is nothing special, it's why I bumped it.

There's a story behind this one. A tragic story.

#1 was posted on the 2nd post of this thread.

Also, I saw one Ramones cover already. How has no one posted the one with Aggie representation?!



I also have to go with my boy Meatloaf. Fellow Dallas kid!

By the way... you all know the London Calling cover is a ripoff... or tribute. Right?

I mean it is great I agree. but most don't know the origin of it. Even though it is better than the original.




I never knew that and it makes it even better for a punk band.
