Lonesome Crow and/or Fly To The Rainbow. The original Virgin Killers, the original Taken By Force, the replacement American Lovedrive and Animal Magnetism covers are in there too.

Pretty much any Scorpions album cover except for In Trance and Blackout, I guess.

The original Virgin Killers,

Why, what's wrong with that?

I don't have a problem with Lonesome Crow or the original Taken by Force. The American cover of Lovedrive is just boring, not bad. I'd put the original cover in this category, though.

Contrast that with "In Trance", which is one of my favorite album covers of all time ever.

Most of Hugh Syme's work with DT.

opinions eh? I for one like all his work (that I know about, DT or else), but to each their own of course
another opinion (speaking of these) from me: all the Tool albums (I wouldn't call myself a Tool fan, because I'm not as "invested" or "involved" in Tool's music as I am in say DT's. I like the Tool albums musically speaking for what they are, and while I don't think the cover art is "bad" in and of itself, I always wondered what it represents or what it means. I still don't know to this day. (I hope Scotty (or indeed anyone) isn't triggered by this, sorry if you are mate)

That is a friggin' great album cover!

twosuitsluke · « **Reply #47 on:** December 15, 2019, 01:30:34 AM »

I've been vocal in the past about how bad I feel this album cover is. Just why??

I'm not sure how many albums from The Flower Kings I actually think the artwork is good.

maybe Space Revolver?, which happens to be my favorite album by them.

I always liked The Sum Of No Evil. That fish-bulli is just sympathetic.

Audioslave's debut

I love a lot of storm thorgerson's work, but he can be hit or miss. And I would consider this one a miss. Absolutely love the album though.

Fritzinger · « **Reply #50 on:** December 16, 2019, 11:20:16 AM »

Never cared for Audioslave. But I think this cover is pretty cool.

But wait! It's not what we think. It opens up to reveal:

First one that comes to mind is Love Beach. But I might like that album more than most people.

Stadler · « **Reply #55 on:** December 19, 2019, 09:03:42 AM »

Maybe not Love Beach, but Tarkus and Trilogy apply. The only ELP covers I really like are Brain Salad Surgery and the first one.

Same with Crimson; not really a fan of their album covers. HATE the cover for "In The Court Of The Crimson King"

Also not really a fan of many of the Genesis covers. Don't like the covers to Foxtrot or Selling England. HATE the cover for self-titled. Duke has come to grow on me, but didn't like it at first.

Don't really have a problem with the Emerson, Lake and Palmer covers.

Don't really like the Gabriel-Genesis covers, but I'm not a much a fan of that music.

I agree about the first Crimson cover though. Not much of a fan although I like the music even if I dig most other Crimson music more.

What's wrong with Dirt?

This subject was actually on a sports forum I'm a part of, I posted these:
Black Crowes - Amorica
And So I Watch You From Afar - Endless Shimmering
Turin Brakes - Invisible Storm
Graham Coxon - Love Moves At Illegal Speeds
Scissor Sisters - Night Work
The Charlatans - Up To Our Hips

News: DreamTheaterForums is a place for people who just don't have the time for music anymore.
