Well whats your favorite cover art?

Three of my favorites are:

BoC: Twoism
Amon Tobin: Supermodified (bricolage is also awesome)
Autechre: Confield
Tosca: Opera

OK thats not three but so what.

The front of pink floyd's dark side of the moon is classic,
it fits perfectly.

I like the Aphex sleeve notes ie. "Read left to right"

i actually hate all the aphex covers, I like more serious
covers myself.

I like the weird space ppl on the cover of Psyence Fiction
by UNKLE....

I think the cover of 'Is This It' by the Strokes is really
funny..... cos i can imagine ppl going "It this it? Is this
ALL we see?"

Yeah, I dont know if thats the right word, but I cant stand
the aphex cover with the chick in the bikini with his head
on it, I think thats the dumbest cover of all time. All his
covers seem like theyre trying ot be funny or weird or
something, I prefer covers that seem like some effort was
put into them.

I think the Windowlicker cover is great!

I show it to my friend, who's a perv, but i cover up the
face.... then I reveal it to him! You shud see his face!!

He put some effort into his self-portrait for I care because
you do

But yeah, Widowlicker's cover sux, but it did well preparing
you for what you were going to hear

I really like the windowlicker cover from a design point of
view. I also realy like the Iron Maiden covers, I admit they
are cheesy but the illustration is fantastic.

I've never seen them live, but I think AR Kane is/was a
criminally underrated band. Are they still together?

Don't think they did anything after they put a remix of "a
love from outer space" out as a single. Good band though.
