The Nirvana "Nevermind" album cover is one of my favorites as well.

A prescient illustration of the obsession with, and lifelong chase after, money - depicted here as the almighty dollar.

Absolutely brilliant.

And the album ain't bad either.

This is a fave, along with Ohio players, the band Charlie has some sexy covers along with other Roxy music covers.

Don't have any images to throw up, but I've always liked the work that 23 envelope/v23 did for the 4AD label. Having a nice unified graphic design approach helped build the image of the record label -- Foe

I've always liked Blodwyn Pig, "Ahead Rings Out" and the Dead's "Blues for Allah". In fact, I've used both as avatars in the past.

They were just so kool back then (and now, too)

"Blues for Allah" is a good one I hadn't thought of!
Lots of interesting/good Dead covers.
Didn't know you (or remember) that you were a Dead fan, Andy.

I listened to some of "Blues for Allah" on the TQWT's Friday night (the Rhino CD).

Tom Rapp/ Pearls Before Swine usually used classic paintings for the covers of their albums..classy covers for classy music.
