On an album that made a mad dash through the whole of pop history, Nick Lowe pictured himself in a bunch of different guises, from rockabilly hoodlum to sensitive balladeer (there were different pics on the US and UK versions), all with tongue firmly in cheek.

It was weird, it was witty, it was Warhol. The famous minimalism of The Velvet Underground & Nico peel-away banana album cover became an influence on punk visual style many years later and remains one of the greatest album covers.

Arriving one year after his milestone album The Payback, Brown delivered the double-album Hell, which called out societal ills both on record and on the elaborately illustrated cover. Designed by artist Joe Belt, who made his name capturing the characters of the Wild West, Belt trained his aim on another dark chapter of American history, depicting fallen soldiers, addicts, and an imprisoned populace. One of the most famous funk album covers ever.

Ultra-cool Elvis (in his shiny gold Nudie suit) gets multiplied in one of the most enduring early 60s images and greatest album covers. If there are that many Elvis fans, we will, of course, need 15 Elvises.

Okay, so it was a little graphic and provocative, but as the single most controversial thing The Beatles ever did (and the most expensive for an original), the cover of Yesterday and Today surely earns a place on a list of the greatest album covers.

This album cover was more of a multimedia assemblage, incorporating the die-cut edges and the marble-swirled disc into the overall design and giving an instant visual image to the top-hatted Dave Mason.

Like all goth-influenced artists, Chelsea Wolfe has a strong sense of the dramatic. The coiled-up body on the cover of her 2017 album embodies all the personal changes the songs deal with.

This iconic album cover said it all about coy mid-60s sexuality, bachelor-pad style. Despite its daring appearance, if you looked closely, the whipped-cream clad model was actually wearing a wedding dress.

Finding album art that captured the genre-pushing ambition of To Pimp A Butterfly was a tall order, but Kendrick Lamar and TDE were up to the task, as K dot assembled his hometown crew for a victorious party on the White House lawn, stomping on the symbol of a weaponized criminal justice system.

Those are all iconic albums(or most of them anyway)but not necessarily iconic album covers. However, when an album itself becomes iconic(for example Close to the Edge by Yes)then usually the cover becomes iconic too. Not always but a lot of the time.

Disappointed but not surprised to see no Iron Maiden or Megadeth covers in there. I think Adam Ant (and the Ants) should be included as well. Adam created some of the most iconic visuals in musical history.

This list is so lame! A lot of good covers here from good albums. But so many are so lame, even stuff that I like! There are better Zeppelin covers, and I would think at least 1 from the Moody Blues would be on here! Really? Who made this list? Would be nice to actually officially credit them too!

Everyone in the comments took this straight up the ass omfg. If you wanna share your own favorite album covers make your own damn list instead of shitting on the opinion of this persons fav album covers.

I love Purple Rain. It is my favorite album of all time, but to choose that album cover art to represent him is a misstep. I think his most iconic album cover is 1999 with Lovesexy coming in at a close second.

Andy Warhol got credit for producing the Velvet Underground's 1967 debut LP, but his exact role in the creation of the album has always been a little murky. The cover, however, was entirely his project. Early versions of his famous banana print cover said "peel slowly and see," and there was a peel-away banana sticker that revealed a pink banana underneath. With drug songs like "Heroin" and "I'm Waiting For The Man," some have interpreted the album's cover as a reference to the old schoolyard rumor that smoking a banana peel will get you high. Whether or not that was Warhol's intent, the cover remains one of his most famous works.

Some stoner, college-age fans think that the rainbow is a hint that the album is synced to the Wizard of Oz. These people are the birthers of the rock community. No matter how much evidence proves they are wrong, they cling ever tighter to their belief.

The cover of the Beatles' 1967 LP Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is, without a doubt, one of the most iconic images in the history of rock & roll. The photo was originally going to show the Beatles (in their Sgt. Pepper's outfits) playing in a park. That slowly evolved into the final concept, where they stand amidst cardboard cutouts of their heroes. The band originally planned on including Leo Gorcey, Gandhi, Jesus Christ and Adolf Hitler in the photo. Common sense kicked Hitler off the cover (though they did create an image of him), the still-lingering bitterness of Lennon's "bigger than Jesus" comment kicked Jesus off the cover and Gandhi got the boot over concerns that India wouldn't print the album.

I've been a long time user of MediaMonkey, which will pull album covers from a variety of sources and allow you to fine tune the search for older albums that will help you find the cover art you need.

If you're looking for more of a "batch" approach, iTunes has to option to "Download Album Artwork" and it will search your entire collection. While it does process things in batch, I've had issues having it find some of my more obscure albums.

Hi everyone! I am just now starting on Etsy and I have been designing and selling album posters of some artists that I love to listen to! I wanted to reach out and ask if anyone could share some tips that you could give me to keep driving my store!

I have been selling album posters but sometimes I run into some problems with copyright infringement and my listings get taken down. I really want to better my store and avoid these copyright issues so I was wondering what are some ways that you overcome this problem with selling album art? Am I not able to add album covers to the poster art themselves? Should I avoid using the artists/album name on the listing? Any tips would be helpful! I obviously do not want this to keep happening and I want to be as respectful of the artist's rights as possible!

I had to Google the artists you are ripping off - yes, because that's exactly what you are doing - because I had not heard of them. The one for "Bad Bunny" is their actual album cover.

Besides the artists/musicians whose image/album it is, there are also the person who MADE the cover art..artist or photographer. Did they sell the usage rights to the music company? Doubt the music company can then pass on those rights to another person.

GLASSES refresh! I was doing a lot of thinking about this newsletter recently, namely its function and purpose. The main goal is discussing/reviewing these album covers, and the little title cards I make for each have not communicated that at all til now. Structurally, they felt too cookie-cutter-publication, like I was doing a feature or interview with the artist, and not dissecting their album cover. In this new iteration, the focus is now fully on the cover in question.

I made soooo many changes and iterations to this little graphic to get here, and while I do love the covers from the past and their dynamic colours and photos, I think this new version is more concise and holds more meaning as to the function of this publication. I hope you like it!

This Is Why is Paramore\u2019s sixth studio album. So much has happened since the release of their 2017 album, After Laughter. Without getting into it too much, there\u2019s been a couple lineup changes, and Hayley Williams even released a few solo projects since then (they\u2019re super good, check them out).

My teen years were basically soundtracked by each Paramore release, as it was my sister\u2019s favourite band at the time, constantly having them playing on the home stereo. Their early covers are pretty much of the time, with Riot! being their best in my opinion. It\u2019s extremely loud and expressive, like most of the music on the album.

The cover for this new record is a full frame photo of the trio, all with their faces pressed up against some sort of rained on glass pane. The bands name and album title is cleanly written in a cream coloured Futura Bold, directly across the middle. If you\u2019ve ever read any of these newsletters or even seen any designs of my own, you know how much I\u2019m obsessed with type. The use of it here though? Pretty unnecessary and harmful to the overall concept and illusion.

Speaking with Jack McArdle from Studio AAA, he convinced me that the type here does nothing for the design, and would\u2019ve looked much better without. When asking him what typography is warranted on an album cover, he said: 006ab0faaa
