Album
covers are just as much a work of art as the music inside. Here’s a rundown of the
top 5 album covers:
5. Bruce Springsteen- Born in the USA
"The picture of my ass looked better than
the picture of my face, so that's what went on the cover". Wise words.
4. Rolling Stones- Let it Bleed
"Brownjohn was hired by his close pal Keith Richards to design the
cover, and he in turn hired Delia Smith—the same Delia Smith who would
go on to become a well-known British cookbook writer and television celebrity—to
bake the cake.”
Mmm… Cake.
3. Arctic
Monkeys- AM
“It kind of looks like a bra” says Alex Turner.
Great reasoning, but also, it matches the sleek, sexy tone showcased in the
album. And it looks like a bra.
The naked baby on the front is now
all grown up and goes by the name of Spencer Elden. He has got a great pick up line out of it
though. "Want
to see my penis . . . again."
1. The Clash- London Calling
The famous photographer Pennie Smith captured the
moment Paul Simonon got pissed at the audience for being too quiet. Now its one
of the most iconic photos of rock history.
