There are too many to list one favorite. What are your favorites and why?
Images too please.
Here's my first: Los Lobos, The Ride, 2004
It's a simple image of the band walking through the desert. I love the desert, so there's one.
The lighting is beautiful, and the simple act of walking is unpretentious.
If one didn't know better, one could interpret an immigration message there too.....just my imagination?

Well, this one is pretty obvious, and she looks like she's already "primed" for a good time.

Yeah, that's a great one Survival, I think my actual favorite though is the cover of Hendrix - Axis Bold as Love album, or maybe one of these...
Not a cover, but an appropriate inside picture.
Edit: Ha!, ya beat me to that one Survival!

Love that King Crimson cover.
Does everything have to turn into a comedy show here?
Can't leave out the good ol' Grateful Dead!
Yeah man, Tijuana Brass, even my parents had that one!

No doubt about this one for me. My favorite album to listen to, and I like the cover enough that I've got a copy of the album sitting out as art.

Locker, I'm not trying to control you man, that's like herding cats!
It was a serious question though. I know people want to have some fun, I get it.
Just a thought: There was some great music in many of these albums, so it's no surprise that some of them took their cover art seriously.
