  2. Nirvana - Nevermind (1992)

    Nirvana - Nevermind (1992)

    again,as iconic as the pink floyd cover for dark side,it had me wonder just what the hell did they need the baby for,and why does it want the money?
    maybe its a take on the music industry wanting them for money?idk,but its a great cover.

    From Joseph Hernandez’s version

  3. OK Computer

    OK Computer

    It might be a little bit abstract to class as anyone image, but frankly that doesn’t matter because when the name Radiohead’s on the cover you just know there’s a legitimate artistic statement being made. Thom Yorke, Johnny Greenwood et al. decided that, after the mainstream success of their last album ‘The Bends’, they wanted to do something completely different and very obscure, and so OK Computer, and its’ crazy artwork, was born.

  5. The White Album

    The White Album

    For those of you still wondering why the fab four decided to call this the ‘White Album’, then look no further. It’s the cover, you see, being all white except for the words “The Beatles” in the bottom right-hand corner just to give you an idea of what might be contained within. It also contained a lot of good music, and all sorts of classic Beatlesy stuff that has kept fans happy for over forty years since its’ release.

  9. Hunky Dory

    Hunky Dory

    He’s so swishy in his satin and tat, with his frock coat and bibbety-bobbety hat. Of course, in the original version of Bowie’s “Queen Bitch”, which appears on his seminal album Hunky Dory, it is of course a “she” rather than a “he” he is referring to. However, this was Bowie at his androgynous best, and the cover depicting the Goblin King in women’s clothing is one of the most striking in rock history.

  10. Kraftwerk - Autobahn

    Kraftwerk - Autobahn

    So simple, yet somehow so evocative of the German motorway system and the yearning to get in a car and drive at the horizon while listening to this album.

    From Harry Jones’s version
