I am doing a little brightening up of my abode, and one wall is going to have a selection of framed LPs. I am looking for 9 to 12 LP covers to do it with. While I have my own ideas of what I want, I thought I would see what you guys had for suggestions.
Right now I am commited to....

(cause I already own it :p )
And for the pure aesthetics of it, this one...
(https://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa329/andreperras/LPs/CDs/KINKS-SLEEPWALKER.jpg)
So as you can see, I'm not just looking for the most intense, awesome covers, otherwise I'd just do all Roger Dean stuff. I want a good variety, in both color and style. Music wise, I'd like to stick to my general genres, rock/metal/prog. I will be buying these at a local store that has a monstrous selection of LPs.
Thanks in advance :)

Get at least one album with John Baizley artwork!
-
I would suggest some Moody Blues. While I prefer the cover art to Every Good Boy Deserves Favour, Days of Future Passed is also a cool one.

I was taking a hard look at the Moody Blues stuff, I'm pretty sure one will make it onto the wall. (probably the Every Good Boy one, that's just brilliant)

Nice ones Dark Castle. The top one is Baroness, right?

Kvelertak, but his covers for Baroness are godly as well!

I really love Radiohead's King of Limbs artwork. Pretty and haunting.
(https://theobelisk.net/obelisk/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/anathema-weather-systems-cover.jpg)
I couldn't find one without the text, but this one does it for me as well.
and in the vein of what DC posted...one of my favorites..pretty sure he's posted this as well at some point.

Not sure how you feel about P!ATD, but I've always liked the cover art of Pretty. Odd. And I bought it today. :lol

Oooh, Fear of a Blank Planet would be a good one.
So I just got back from the record store, and the additions are the Kinks one posted above, the Moody Blues one(thanks for the reminder Carl :tup ). I didn't find any of the Baroness or other ones posted, but I did find these two....
Always loved this cover...
(https://m1.i.pbase.com/o3/04/877304/1/129508561.FqIhRhDf.RemoteControl.jpg)
And this one, don't know if it's going on the wall, but for seven bucks, I couldn't resist...

I take it you want ones you will actually find the vinyl of? These would be cool, but not likely to find the vinyl at your usual spot (if at all).

I think the Star One would be cool, kinda fit in with the mix I got going.
Almost bought this one, prepare yourself for flashback central Chad...

I thought about doing something similar a few years ago. Except, I thought of using one gigantic frame (something like 2A0 or 4A0 if I could find it) and putting as many CD covers into it as I would be able to fit. Kind of like a big framed collage of albums that I like. I'll probably never get around to doing it, though.
-
(https://www.metalsucks.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Scale-the-Summit-The-Migration.jpg)
Scale the Summit's new album has some of the best art I've seen in a while.
-
It's pretty good, not really what I'm thinking of. (the album itself however is lights fucking out awesome)

I can totally see that being cool. I like the vinyl covers myself cause the art shows up better and most of the albums I'm picking up are under 5 bucks.

Well you gotta have some Yes, like Topographic Oceans, Relayer and Fragile.
Basically anything by Roger Dean :P

I'm not sure what you can find but I'm gonna throw in some of my faves:

Three that I really, really like artwork-wise, though I don't know if they'd be up your alley musically (actually, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't dig the second one, but stranger things have happened, and it IS an awesome artwork).

I was lookin at Kiss Destroyer, I'm thinking one cheesy heavy metal one. Rainbow Rising might have won that spot.
About to head to a local store that carries the if sheet music, see if there is something along those lines I could add.

Nothing cheesy about Rainbow Rising. Ritchie invented power metal with that album.

If I were doing this, here's two that I'd pick.

One of Jimi's will definitaly be up there. As to ELP, I though about that one, but I don't want to overload it with old school prog, Marillion has two spots and Yes-Tales will be taking one.
Just picked up a book of Yes and Rush guitar tabs for twelve bucks. :tup

Agreed, the record store had like 6 copies and I figured it'd be irresponsible NOT to get it.

Floyd LPs are woefully deficient in the stores I'm hitting unfortunately.
Blackwater Park is a definite maybe, always loved that cover.
Holy Diver is intriguing, but I think I'm sticking with Rising.
I've been thinking about Genesis, I was looking at LLDOB myself, but that one is a maybe too.
That Enslaved one is fucking sweet!!!
Keep 'em coming guys!!!

(https://i1163.photobucket.com/albums/q554/oskirules/20130619_152052_zps6f37e436.jpg)
That's Marillion- Misplaced Childhood and the Garden Party single
Moody Blues- Every Good Boy
Kinks- Sleepwalker
Tubes- Remote Control
and my SW Fillmore poster
I'm thinking 3 or 7 more for the one wall...(btw, I've looked, can't find any IQ on vinyl :( )
These will be alongside my special items, autographed Beyond the Bridge and Steven Wilson cd's and a print of my BtB review..
(https://i1163.photobucket.com/albums/q554/oskirules/20130619_152146_zpsc5294581.jpg)

Probably thinking three more albums, two rows of four, but they can be interchangeable too.

Looks pretty cool.
I've got the 36 X 24 full Misplaced Childhood promo poster on one of our bedroom walls and the 24X36 Misplaced Childhood Offenbach Tour Poster in the basement (along with the accompanying Clutching At Straws Tour Poster (with Dalbello opening!))
There's also a US promo Grace Under Pressure Tour poster down there along with the Queensryche Promised Land promo poster.
But I'm more of a poster/album flat guy I guess.
-
I would like to add some posters actually, I just got the one Steven Wilson Fillmore poster now.

OK, update time....
I picked up Quadrophenia(cause it just had to be up there) and Grace Under Pressure. Also stumbled across this blast from the past, and knew it had to have a spot.....
(https://vinyleye.com.au/images/uploads/alan%20parsons%20project%20-%20I%20robot.jpg)
So right now I'm looking at two spots left to fill. If I find a cheap IQ cover, it will go there, but pickings are slim there. Rainbow Rising will be a tough find, only one copy, and it was a high end LP at $40.
-
Another personal favourite.

I have multiple Grace Under Pressures on my wall....promo posters, album flat...
I just temporarily put the A Dramatic Turn Of Events litho above a doorway until I can find a better spot for it.
As far as more albums covers....
What about Led Zeppelin's Presence or that Herb Albert album....you know the one...
-
Maybe some BOC. Their covers were always pretty kewl.
