If you were to start a wall of framed cool cover art, what cover art would you include?

I'll start.

This just transfixed me as a tween...but then I was a bit of an odd kid.

There are so many from which to choose - it would have to be a revolving door for me. I present this cover because of the interesting story behind it. A computer programmer, Barry Godber, who (IIRC) was a friend of Pete Sinfield's, presented this painting to the band on the day they were recording '21st Century Schizoid Man'. Greg Lake said that when Barry cut the strings and peeled away the protective paper, the whole band had a WOW moment. There it was: the 21st Century Schizoid Man! It was absolutely perfect. Barry suffered a heart attack and died shortly thereafter at the tender age of 23. There are no other known paintings by his hand, but this one perfectly captured that of which he could not possibly be aware...so, the story goes. Cool, eh?

Great progressive metal album.

Sweet. You guys rock.

A few I already have. That King's X cover just kicks ass.

Got more? These are going on a hallway wall directly across from the guest restroom. Lot's of room, lots of traffic.

Thanks!

Must've been 1971, this is the first of many albums I bought strictly because of the cover. Not sure about hanging it in my home now though.

Hey!

Yeah, but than it will be hard to see the pee stains on a black monolith wouldn't it?

Take care,
