Album covers: Quirky, intriguing, aesthetically pleasing
by Moondance 
Getting into music in the late 60's/early 70's, I have always loved album covers (especially being able to hold them and read them) ~ so I thought I would do a chart showcasing the album covers that I find 'quirky, intriguing &/or aesthetically pleasing'. I tend to prefer the simple images where the cover connects to the album title or the music in interesting ways.
I have avoided album covers showcasing the artist or the band ~ which, from scanning over 6000 album covers, seems to eliminate over 90% of all album covers.
The criteria for inclusion in the chart was: 1. that I had the album in one of my charts; 2. the cover pleased me in some unique way; & (except in a couple of cases) only one album cover per artist.
There is no rating of album covers implied, as the albums are simply listed alphabetically (neglecting the 'The' and the 'A' in the title).
