Wahahaaa!! Someone revived it! I wonder... did you find the link on my about?

Allright, how about a cover that is alike a lot of their other album covers, but still has an epic touch, soly for them being them? How about... the new KISS cover of their album 'Monster'!?! =D

And how about this new Aerosmith album cover?! It's brandnew, but because of the awesome artwork already a classic! =)

J Geils Band - Freeze Frame
http://classic.modernrockreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/1981_JGeilsBand-FreezeFrame.jpg

When I hear about awesome album covers, this is always the first one that comes to mind.

Devo - Something For Everybody
http://www.atlantamusicguide.com/wp-content/uploads/DevoSomething.jpg

You have to be familiar with Devo to appreciate this one.

Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms
http://tralfaz-archives.com/coverart/D/dire_brothersf.jpg

Simplistic, but still divine.

Bellamy Brothers - Angels & Outlaws, Volume 1
http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0007RTA48.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg

I don't know what I like about this one, but it's very calming and is the perfect artwork for Let Your Love Flow.

ZZ Top - Afterburner
http://www.80smetal.net/afterburner.jpg

It's just plain awesome. Or just plane awesome if you want to get punny.

ZZ Top - Afterburner


Interesting. A mix of a Space Shuttle and a 1920's car. I like it! But another album cover I like is the Bajofondo Tango Club - Supervielle. It is so mysterious to me... I like it. =)

I don't believe this was an album cover rather than just that of the single, but one of my favorite songs just so happens to have an awesome design on its cover!

Most distinctive would have to be at least one of the Disturbed albums.

The Eagles - Hotel California
