Favorite Album Covers
by 
babyBlueSedan 
Ranked loosely by quality of album cover (at least for the first 10 or so, after that I was too lazy to rank them). I like these either because I find them really visually appealing or because they fit the music well.
I'll never dislike an album purely for it's cover, but I do tend to prioritize listening to new albums that have cool covers.

I like this because for an album that contains songs about depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts, the depiction of fear on the cover is so trivial. It also feels very suburban and familiar.

Perfectly fits the music here. Taken from a magazine cover about LSD use.

Kind of a silly one but I like homages, and it turns the downward glance from contemplative thought to menace.

Jeff Mangum was apparently a sucker for old "penny arcade" drawings like this and so am I.

It's amazing how incredibly beautiful this is considering the placements of the elephant's legs don't make any sense
Also I looked at this cover a million times before realizing an elephant would never be in a pine forest [First added to this chart: 10/25/2018]

If you're going to make your album cover a photograph, and a pretty famous photograph at that, you'd better make sure it really fits your album.

i've twice tried to make a chart like this and failed. i'm feeling motivated to give it another shot all of a sudden. a lot of good selections here too. don't be surprised if mine has a handful of crossover selections.
