I'm setting up a group for people who believe in material forms of music with cover art. Vinyl, tape, cd ect... It's pretty anti-downloading.
Society for the Preservation of Music Materialsim

Basically I need to know what everyone thinks of as the most memorable album cover.
Oh the trees!
Take me back to London please!!!

Two Virgins? XD

Probably Abbey Road. It's been everywhere. :)

For me it's London Calling just because I think the picture of Paul Simonon smashing his bass is one of the coolest photographs ever - it always sticks in my mind.

Yeah, both London Calling and Abbey Road are fantastic album covers, but you have to add Nirvana's Nevermind to this list . . . I had more, but now I've forgotten them! I'll be back.

OH YEAH! The Velvet Underground and Nico's album with Andy Warhol's banana on the front of it. I love that album.

The most memorable album cover for me is the Pink Floyd one with the prism and the rainbow coming out the other side. I don't know what the album is called though...

Is it an online group?

I think for me the most memorable one is Abbey Road.

Dusky:: I think that one is called 'Dark Side of the Moon', and I am in total agreement. It's a completely amazing album cover, and therefore memorable. My brother has that as his MSN avatar! :P

As for me, well I'll think of one later... nothing's jumping out at me right now.

A vapour sometimes like a bear or lion,
A towered citadel, a pendant rock,
A forked mountain, or blue promontory,
With trees upon't that nod unto the world,And mock our eyes with air.."

Indeed, but a guy smashing his guitar is more iconic than simply a guy playing it happily ...

True. Both are memorable, but then who had more of an influence on music? I love the Clash, but Elvis Presley is no less of a god.
