8 Most Memorable Album Covers (Vinyl Records Addition)
Vinyl Records
1. Big Brother & The Holding Company
This was the band Janis Joplin was in before she was on her own. What I remember about this one is that it looks like a comic strip and as a kid that makes it memorable.
2. Derek & The Domino's
This is a band Eric Clapton formed with some other musicians, as a one time thing. I remember this one because of it's mixture of artistry and funky designs. It's very hard to forget a cover like this.
3. Chaka Khan
This too has an art work vibe to it, but I remember this one because I love the song "I Feel For You". So,I pulled that album out enough times to memorize the cover.
4. The Rolling Stones
This I remember because of the cover being a pair jeans with a gold zipper (which I believe they made to look like a real zipper but I'd have to check). I also remember that this is said to be one of the most controversial album covers because of the zipper thing, but don't quote me on that. Either way, it's kind of cool and hard to forget.
5. Twisted Sister
I remember this for the simple fact that it scared me a lot. With the makeup and bone (or whatever it is), it's freaky and certainly terrifying for a young child.
6. Van Halen
I mean, I think it's pretty easy to see why this is memorable. Could you really forget the irony of a baby with angel wings, smoking a cigarette? Probably not.
7. Animal House
This is not a band but instead the sound track to the movie Animal House. Anyway, I remember this because there was a song on there call "Shout" that I liked and the cover is very cartoon like. And, what kid doesn't like cartoons?
8. Led Zeppelin
I remember this because I thought it was cool that it looked like an apartment building and you can see all those windows, I think it's very neat and definitely one I remember.
That concludes my list of memorable album covers.
