Dr. Gonzo 8,184 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Idk if this counts as a "music" related post... but I'm going to say it does because it's the art on music albums. What are your favourite album covers? And not like "this is a cover of my favourite song" - but the actual art on the album? I'll start - I think this one is great. Idk if it's because I think it's funny or not... but I like this album art a lot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluewolf 7,161 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Thin Lizzy 'Chinatown' I actually drew this and resized it on the back door of my bedroom without the writing when I was younger... Also 'Johnny The Fox' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber JoshBRFC+ 1,388 Posted August 25, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted August 25, 2022 This sticks in my mind, but i'm being biased i guess because he's one of my favourites. This one also comes to mind, something that has been iconic through the decades. EDIT : Just re read your OP @Dr. Gonzo . You clearly said Art. I will have a re think.

I think both of those count as art for the context of album art mate. I think some good picks you've made there two - certainly two iconic albums. I can hear my favourite tracks off both of them when I see the covers of those albums. So I'd say that's a pretty sure thing those are 2 solid choices!

I've been looking for copies of literally all the albums you've posted at my local vinyl shops though because I fucking love Thin Lizzy.

Biggie songs playing in my head now too ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,613 Posted September 1, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted September 1, 2022 Some art that I've liked over the years And probably my most favorite which encompasses exactly what the album was about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you should mention them... I own these 4 picture disc albums... They are all unplayed in mint condition.. I don't know why I bought them at the time as I can't say I listen to Kiss but had a girlfriend that liked them. I probably couldn't make my mind up which one to get and got them all..
