off the top of my head i'll say some of my favorites are:
air-moon safari
pulp-different class
gang of four-entertainment!
the beatles-sgt. peppers
the smiths-meat is murder
supergrass-in it for the money
the who-sell out
the beatles-abbey road
can-tago mago
*bonus* the best soda pop can ever was ski before they changed to that new-fangled hoo-ha can. the best candy bar wrapper is watchamacallit.

Nothin' gets in my way....Not even locked doors!

Off the top of my head:

Roxy Music: Country Life
The Beatles: Revolver, Sgt. Peppers, The White Album, Abbey Road
Paul McCartney: McCartney
The Jam: Sound Affects
Steve Martin: A Wild and Crazy Guy
The Beatles: Beatles '65

- and any Pizzicato 5 album cover. I have yet to listen to their music, but I feel that eventually I must because I love their covers so much.

But what will happen to the boy when the circus comes to town?

Hmm...off the top of my head (which is being covered by an old man fedora right now due to the negative temp outside)...

Oasis "(What's The Story) Morning Glory?" (Not that great, but I do plan on recreating it myself if I ever go to London)

The Strokes "Is This It" (UK and US, both are quite cool)

Travis "The Man Who" (it's what the MTSU campus looks like right now)

Sterophonics "Performance & Cocktails"

Beck "Sea Change"

Apples In Stero "Velocity of Sound" and "Tone Soul Evolution"

Talking Heads "Fear Of Music"

The Buffalo Head 45 (very witty)

and my favorite of all time would have to be the Oasis "She Is Love/Little By Little" single. It's adorable. I'm sure that when the Features' album comes out, it will have a very very awesome cover.

without my CDs handy (so therefore off the top of my head)

Led Zeppelin III - (the vinyl with the spinning wheel)
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
The Beatles - The Beatles
Sonic Youth - Washing Machine

I must give a special shout-out to Brian Bottcher and his work with all the Spongebath albums. Self and Fl Oz have some great art under their belt with his stuff. His collaboration with the Features in recording the Beginning EP has me hoping that they will use him for their forthcoming LP.

That's right...NO AVATAR!!!

All y'all can take all your avatars and SHOVE IT!!

Completely off topic: Can you get Ski down here?! I've been importing it from back home!

The original releases of "The Empire Strikes Back" on VHS feature very nifty paintings. I also love the "Goldmember" poster. The "Planet of the Apes" posters from the 60s are also very very cool. And lastly, the "Autofocus" poster was very nice.

pink floyd:
dark side of the moon
the wall
the features, the beginning ep
andrew bird's bowl of fire, oh! the grandeur
elo, eldorado
most cake albums

speaking of star wars art, i really like whoever it is who painted the special edition posters, as well as the movie posters for the new films. i have no idea why they're putting a lame photo montage on the dvd editions instead of these paintings. the paintings give it feeling and emotion with a good amount of dramatic effect. Ewan McGregor just looks stupid in that fake lightsaber pose, and Hayden Christensen just looks like he's got a headache.

My sentiments exactly. I love movie paintings and think that they will always be superior to lame photo montages. I have a reprint of a 1977 Star Wars movie poster painted by Greg & Tim Hildebrandt (I think) that I cherish...
