Favorite cover art

[Anna Woman von NRW]

Nice thread Intothewind - probably has been done before but with new releases still coming out: ever evolving 

Unfortunately - hijacked by the ego yet again so another interesting topic becomes Kleenex. I don't think that's a spoiler.

Another vote for Impurity here, but I'm also very taken with T&C and B-Sides And Abandoned Tracks.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a thread that remained un-hijacked and free from drivel?

I love the simple brilliance of vengeance not scene anything else quite like it. Ok without looking through my cds records bdaw/bwab are excellent as already mentioned. I really like T&C probably not the most original of joolzs art. Dare i mention the 12" version of space also the cover to the Brazilian emi collection the one with the tree on it. Better than them is also a favourite n also really like wonderful way to go.

Forgot to mention the TIAGD skull on the inside cover

Yeah I should have specified this thread as 'actual NMA releases' cover art - How naive of me!

Just strikes me that more than any other band Joolz's art is almost part of the music. I can't think of any other band so synonymous with their designer/cover Artist, I just can't imagine NMA's work visualized in any other way.

Long may it continue!

These two spring to the minds of many rock and roll fans:

Velvet Underground and Andy Warhol




Beatles and Peter Max

These and many more artist's would have created some very memorable album covers, usually for only one album, Peter Blake and Sgt Pepper springs to mind here to. But I mean over a whole career spanning some 30 odd years using the same artist on countless releases, there is no precedent that I can think of.

i gave it some thought and for me its the between dog and wolf cover art. i have the cd book and the vinyl edition and somehow i must say,  i like the book version a little more, because you can skip through the sides like a book.
the wonderful warm brownish dark tone of the cover and the many pictures inside have such a deep atmosphere and variety to it. love it!

[Johnny Appleseed]

Yes, this is a difficult one. I like them all, but I think my favourites are T&C, and for the whole package I love both BDAW & BWAB. But if I have to choose I think I'm with Pol..it's the skull on the insde of TIAGD.

All the best
Johnny

P.S. But then again, Impurity is great as well...oh, you know what...I don't think I'll ever make my mind up!

No Rest for the Wicked, nice dark and grimm

[Pol]

Good choice Johnny lol

[Master Ray]

Andy Warhol?  Please... a pretentious talentless hack who jumped on a bandwagon of drug-addled fools.  No better than Tracey Emin... 'I put an unmade bed in an art gallery!  Now give me a million quid!'

 

Sir Peter Blake... that's another story.  Some fine works there...

Still... Joolz is way better than any of them...

I give you the main man H.R. Giger the best artist ever

[szmurf]

Storm Thorgerson and Pink Floyd.

Back on topic; have to go with Vengeance.

Ahh yes you're right about Pink Floyd and Storm - brilliant too.
