bazooka Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 " ... the world's most celebrated artists chose their favorite musicians and created The Greatest Album Covers That Never Were.

MindCrime Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 I can see why the Led Zeppelin #2 didn't make it, a nice concept for the album however. I like the one for The Doors though, especially the back cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tybalt Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 Yeah, the Eagles on Tour is cool + funny. I also like Hendrix (artist: Peter Green) Foo Fighters (artist: Tommy Steele) and David Byrne (artist: Alan Shaffer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvish Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 I agree with Tybalt on the Hendrix cover. I also like Muddy Waters and Black Sabbath (wish I could enlarge the image without distorting to look at detail). The design of the Beatles one is cool, but it isn't very practical.

MindCrime Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 I read this wrong when I was looking at it yesterday, I thought it was referring to the original album covers that were rejected, this is an artist's tribute to their favorite bands & what cover they would've created. The Jimi Hendrix selection is IMHO the only conceptual artwork that would?ve been well placed as an album cover, as well as the flowing controversy from of the Doors pick. The rest look like ?Flop work?, although I like the quality on the Tom Petty choice, it still doesn?t appear to correspond with his brilliant work.

In heaven Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 The Led Zeppelin record cover was awesome but I love the The Velvet Underground's banana so I'm a little biased. It would have been great if they would have payed respects to such a great at least on greatest hits or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
