If it makes you feel any better, the Gandalf cover should have won :P

Also, don't forget to look at it through a mirror to notice the 9 11 over the Twin Towers.

I'll vote for the mushroom though. We could have banana vs. mushroom in the final.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!!??? 😲 I JUST DID IT, I TOOK MY COPY UP STAIRS AND IT WORKED! 😲

Everyone else try it right now. I didn't see it until I put to the mirror.

I voted Supertramp... I don't even think it looks that dated. Like some other albums, the mushroom album looks like a kid did it. Sometimes that's a good thing. In this case, not so much.

I don't know, but the guy who according to the tale financed the project is named Usama Bin Miesegaes.

Wow, that's kinda crazy. Do you think Supertramp had been planning 9/11 all along?

I voted for breakfast in America because the waitress looks slightly manic and they make better use of the colour orange than some album covers I could mention....

Ok, I'd like to motivate my nomination.

As you can see, it' was released in 2001.
To me, this album cover (along with the content of the album), is the perfect tribute to the psychedelic era.

Yes, it's somehow riddiccoulous, but that's the whole point.
It's made with so much love for that perticular era of great music, that it genuinely warms my heart to see (and listen to) it.

But I may have made the mistake that I have accused others of making: to nominate an album for personal reasons rather than strictly aesthetical.

Oh, and Gandalf is awesome. I hate you for voting it out.

Sadly... 😕

This match doesn't do the tournament justice. Neither are very appealing. Breakfast In America is a bit wittier I guess...Still really dated looking though.
