QotD: Art over Music
What are your three favorite album covers of all-time? Any honorable mentions?
Question submitted by Tamara.
The Talking Heads - Little Creatures.
I love this album; I love this album art. When I was in high school I got to meet the artist. We used to take road trips to Penville, Georgia to hang out at Howard Finster's Paradise Gardens. Those were idyllic times. I love everything about this cover.
Minutemen - Double Nickels on the Dime.
A couple of corndogs doing 55 on the I-10 between LA and San Pedro. Respect. One of many great album covers that The Shins paid homage to on their New Slang video. It never fails to break my heart.
The Clash - London Calling
Cliche, yes, but. What is there not to love about this album cover? If this isn't on your list; you're a Nancy Noodlebottom.
