Piper? More? Obscured By Clouds? Only joking. I thought everyone would go for Wish You Were Here, for some reason, but maybe not, we'll see.
I left out the above albums 'cause they're not that good, and compilations 'cause they're not, like, albums. Er, except for Echoes that is.
Ta.

Animals is a very atmospheric cover with a fantastic late afternoon winter sky. It reflects the fantastic music on the album and also reflects the dispare at the time - a winter of discontent, a failing Labour government on its last legs which was soon to be cast aside by Thatcher and her Government with her right wing rich get richer, poor get poorer atitude.

Like music, even art can be relative to one's tastes I think. I'm going down a different path here by saying I like them all actually for one reason, the art seems pretty well related to the album it represents. Some are more relative than others, but I think they did a good job with them all basically.

Yeah, a nice pair is cool, especially the one without the stickermadcap69 wrote: A nice pair
I think they all have their merits (not too sure about obscured by clouds--but in a way, the out of focus is cool) Some of my plain white cover b**tleg records are cool as you can imagine them for yourself!

Hmm, interesting results. The Division Bell does indeed have a magnificent cover. Striking is an understatement. Nothing for Delicate Sound Of Thunder, eh? Still original and inventive, as I'm sure you'll agree. No votes for Meddle and Final Cut I can understand, although the group photo in the former and the cleaver-in-back in the latter are both classic Floyd images. Wish there were more for Wish, though. What a package.
