Quite cruel, isn't it?

Post by Anna-Roza »

There is a very interesting web-site called "The Greatest Albums Covers That Evere Were": http://www.theartrocks.com/tgactnw/

Some famous artist were asked to design covers for fictious albums; for example, Kurt Vonnegut made a project for Phish (he's a huge fan of them).

Some of the projects are very nice, but the one for Pink Floyd by Mark Ryden is very critical... However, interesting and forcing to thinking and discussing... What do you think?

Yeah, it is interesting, though I'm not sure if I like it.
Anyway, I just wonder who that person is...? Or is supposed to be.

That's cool- assuming it's a record executive, and NOT David!!!

Yes, this one is even worse than the Pink Floyd one...
But I like Prince's album covered with pink fur... Very camp...

I like the Money one. It's a good art. Very nice illus, IMO. Not the best concept development, but it's cool.
Of course, it has absolutely nothing to do with PF's corporate image, but it could stand on its own.

wow... that looks cool. My first thought on this:

It should be the cover for a compilation album which at least contains the songs Money, Pigs(3do), Have a cigar and Get your filthy hands off my desert...

does anyone have suggestions for other songs that should be on this compilation?

Nah, that cover's not appropiate for a whole album.
I'd release it as a single.

Love the Money cover! It embodies the whole song. And yes, good for a single cover, but not for the entire DSOM.

Money cover reminds me of recent King Crimson album covers. Just change the text to "King Crimson: The Power To Believe".
