    Revisiting Album Art

    I was thumbing through the ol' vinyl stash and came across what is probably my favorite album cover of all time. Maybe it was a rocky period in my life and it resonated, maybe it was just great imagery, but FWIW it's from Van Stephenson's album Righteous Anger.

        Another one (of several) is from Yes' Yessongs inner cover art. IIRC, this is what introduced the world to the art of Roger Dean.

          Maybe we should take a poll on whether it ends up being blonde or brunette? :W

            I'm not even sure how this relates to the album, but the cover of Nazareth's Hair Of The Dog is another favorite.

              A London icon, and a great album.

                      I went to Chris's concert tonight in Anchorage, Alaska, and it was absolutely amazing. I'd have to say it was one of the top 3 concerts I've ever been to. It was certainly fun, but the concert was especially tops for all-out, max quality music that was exceptionally tight. Chris's...

                      Your favourite new album of 2006?
                      by bigburner
                      This can be either a recent release or an old album that you heard for the first time in 2006.

                      No lists please, just the album that had the biggest effect on you this year.

                      My choice, and I know that there's still a month to go to find a better one, is:

                      Being a bachelor, I have no guidance on how to spend money. Maybe you've heard of this, but I am so excited I just had to share!
