Raspbernie Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Actually, there was a coffee table book out a few years ago that was titled, "The Greatest Album Covers Of All Time," and Side 3 was included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I always liked Roxy Music"Country Life"... I wholeheartedly agree... also the 'Buckingham-Nicks' and Robert Palmer's 'Pressure Drop' covers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darlene Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Side 3 is a cool cover! For me the Abbey Road cover was the ultimate allegory. Days of Future Passed and "In the Court of the Crimson King" would be on my list as well. --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
