My favorite is probably the cover to the Beatle's "Revolver' album.

I also like to look at death metal band's album covers. I usually can't stand the music, but the covers are...interesting, I guess you could say.

I love the Beatles. And as a matter of fact, Sgt. Pepper and Revolver are 2 of my absolute favorite albums of theirs.

The cover for Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division, and the cover for Iron Mask by Christian Death are definitely favorites.

Front Line Assembly's cover to Artificial Soldier looks really cool, imho.
So does Iced Earth's the Glorious Burden.

Good goth
Oh, Such an interesting thread, enfant. FOR THE WIN I'm saying Only Theatre of Pain by Christian Death. Just the striking, dark, haunting imagery drawn in a wonderous strange ink. The birth of American Goth rock and Romanticized Deathrock in my opinion.

The others I'll say would be:
The Moon Looked Down and Laughed-Virgin Prunes.
Gotham and The Sky's Gone out-Bauhaus.
Disintergration-the Cure.
Basically every early TSOL album
Catasprohe Ballet-Christian Death
Shout and Scream-Sexgang Children.

Hmm...I have a lot of favourites, apparently.

I always thought that Bat out of Hell (I) had a great cover. But I think I prefer the cover of Led Zeppelin I (the one with the Hindenburg blowing up on it).

The Virgin Prunes' "...If I Die, I Die" is pretty awesome.

In Excelsis - Ladder of Lust

I've never thought about album art in terms of favorites, but it's certainly up there if I had to choose.

Also, how many people here know that the cover to Unknown Pleasures is radar traces from a Pulsar (i.e. a dead star). If you ever get a chance to listen to these transmissions, they sound like a series of tonal droning, like you'd experience with something like Tennitus. If you think about this, and Ian's later suicide, the lyrics to "Transmission" take on new meaning:


Radio, live transmission.
Radio, live transmission.

Listen to the silence, let it ring on.
Eyes, dark grey lenses frightened of the sun.
We would have a fine time living in the night,
Left to blind destruction,
Waiting for our sight.

And we would go on as though nothing was wrong.
And hide from these days we remained all alone.
Staying in the same place, just staying out the time.
Touching from a distance,
Further all the time.

Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio. (x4)

Well I could call out when the going gets tough.
The things that we've learnt are no longer enough.
No language, just sound, that's all we need know, to synchronise
love to the beat of the show.

And we could dance.

Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio. (x4)
