i feel like the covers of the caretaker's "everywhere at the end of time" are worthy of a mention. painstakingly made by ivan seal to induce the feelings of not being able to recognize familiar objects/imagery. goes incredibly well with the concept of the albums. what do you think? stage 3 in particular looks like incredibly aggressive and entangled almost fluid seaweed, which sounds way more hilarious in words than it was in my mind. but yeah, it gives that unsettling feeling of looking into murky water without being able to see the bottom of it., which i find fascinating!

Not only Mellon Collie, but Siamese Dream is an amazing cover too. The juxtaposition of two little girls in angle costumes to the grand rock roller coaster of an album. The image also taps into themes of angel wings, Siamese twins, dreams and the beauty of some of the ballads on that album. It’s a highly underrated album cover.

[@hoovehead3967]

Sleep - Dopesmoker Sets the tone and vibe perfectly. I probably wouldn’t say it’s the most meaningful cover art, but it has the largest impact on experiencing the music.

[@luketaylormusic2807]

I couldn't agree more! Arik Roper is a genius. His cover for Windhand Eternal Return is equally as perfect as Dopesmoker :)

Igor's cover art is amazing it has the same feel as the music, what you see is what you get literally. Tyler sacrificing his image to embrace one of an Igor furthermore it is a fantastic intro for the music as it sets the stage for who is singing thus setting the experience.

[@unhelpfulrevelations7989]

I only recently discovered that Igor had alternate artwork done for the deluxe cover that looks absolutely amazing and kinda conflicts the shit out of me, because that simple pink cover with the cut and paste of Tyler's head is so iconic and I will forever associate it with the music more.

[@KieramaiChannel]

I think the cover art for London Calling is the best album art of all time by a considerable margin. To me the image of Paul Simonon smashing his bass is a defining image of Rock 'n' Roll, and specifically punk and The Clash. The use of the text design from Elvis' first LP demonstrates how The Clash took onboard their many influences and explored them on the record, giving a nod to the past while simultaneously bringing them up-to-date and taking them forward. The best album of all time in my opinion, wouldn't change a single thing about it.

came here to say this. most iconic album cover for the most seamless, artfully-constructed album of all time. what sets melodrama apart from so many other albums isn’t just the brilliant wordplay and clever use of synth sounds with vocals (hard feelings/loveless), it’s how the album only works as a WHOLE. the entire album tells the chronological story of a whirlwind romance, a breakup, and moving on. it’s PHENOMENAL and I cannot stress enough how perfect melodrama is
