    These will do for now; there are many bad covers I've seen (mainly from rap or metal records) but I can't remember some rn. This one by Beck is kinda r-----ed, the album is great though

    I feel like I'm forgetting a bunch of good ones. I tried to stick with albums I've listened to.

    Props for The Mad Writer @Maad City, I had checked this album out (which was also the first time I listened to L'Orange) because I liked the cover, someone (probably @Bleed) posted it in the album thread in SL

    Same here. It seemed like it would be a dark creative album and it reminded me of Psycho Mantis from Metal Gear Solid so I wanted to listen. I'm normally not a fan of instrumental albums but I had to keep few tracks just so I could have the artwork on my iTunes. Pretty sure I saw it on SL also.

    My all time favorite album cover is Green Day's Insomniac. They went to a local artist they knew and just asked him to make whatever he wanted for their album cover. I personally think it is better than Dookie's album cover. As far as worst album covers go, nothing comes to mind at the moment.

    Nice, I didn't know the story about the cover; it's funny that you posted this because it was Griff's previous avatar

    I didn't want to post two from the same artist, but Insomnaic is definitely one of my favorite covers. All of the artwork on the front, back and inside of that album is awesome. I love the whole vintage, tripped out style. And yeah like @Olorin said it was my avatar at SL for quite a while.

    I agree man, the cover having a vintage theme and multiple parts was pretty f---in cool. Glad to see someone else appreciates the greatness of that album cover. :khaled2:

    Worst album covers are always hip hop ones

    I loved the album cover for pink floyds the endless river
    Not just because of the actual picture but also because it was packaged as a book which i thought was super cool, someone's probably done that before, but if they have than ive never seen it

    Ayyyy that Liquid Swords though.

    I dislike the whole half animal/ man face thing. Thought the Dreamchasers 3 and Animal Ambition covers were pretty corny.

    @Skippy WMWTSO went through my head when I saw the thread. It's simple but it works so well.

    @DCG I considered all three of those album covers too when I was skimming through my music. Think I prefer the Relapse cover a bit over TES
