I miss the days of great album covers that accented the music .
Queen, Nugent, AC/DC,etc...
There seem to be more great example in the 1970s than any other decade FOR ME.
What album covers stick with YOU ?
I have the Queen gatefold (outside and inside) framed on my living room wall. That has always stuck with me as an incredible album cover.
It seems that no one puts as much effort into album art anymore as the artists did in the 1970s.

I have to teach some youngsters I know how to properly LISTEN to music. To sit there with little more than the album art in hand and ABSORB all of the righteousness that was intended.
Luckily we still have our old albums to instill these important lessons upon the young.
How many of you long for the effort that bands took years ago instead of getting a computer generated generic band photo as a sorry excuse for album art ?
