Both perfectly embody the album they represent, and both look great. I'll have to think about it.

[Wombi]

Could have obviously been the final, both are very good.

I'll have to think about it as well...

EDIT: Can't believe Unknown Pleasures is dominating, it's not that much better. In that case ITAOTS gets my vote.

Can it be that I get so much more out of white lines on a black background?

[alelsupreme]

ITAOTS.

[SquishypuffDave]

Maaan, I could easily have picked ITAOTS to be the winner.

[Mother Nature's Son]

Realized that the poll was about the album cover itself after I had voted, not about the music. Doesn't change my vote for In the Aeroplane though..
