Fleet Foxes used a painting of Pieter Bruegel, which was a Dutch painter.
This painting shows 80 Dutch proverbs.

Seriously underrated album on this site. In only 8 charts. I'll need to correct this soon. Thanks for the reminder. Madonna's cover did not really do a favor to Don McLean.

The Van Gogh meets Abbey Road is really great.

Some punk band should call themselves Vincent Van Goth and have all their covers done in that style.

I actually do have a poster of this in my "music room" in my house. It's a combination of me loving the artwork and also absolutely loving the music. It's probably the happiest/most pleasant artwork/music combination that I know of. I literally smile every time I put this cd in, thats how much I love everything about it.

i'm just impressed that you actually have a music room in your house! 8)

haha yup I just bought my first house in August and we have an extra bedroom, so naturally it's home to my electric drum set and guitars, and the walls are filled with band posters/art. And I'm now noticing how perfect albums are for display purposes as well.

You reminded me of this.

WANT. :shock:

Why?

So people can think you are a douche?

Well I wouldn't mind having UP, not on canvas though.

Why a douche?? It'd be awesome to have those, and for some reason they look really good together. Still I would rather have this..

It makes me think for some reason only by looking the artwork, i'm fascinated since I saw it the first time.
