does that mean this list will change in 2 months?

I'll still be doing it in 2 months

I would have guessed number one was going to be the list itself, but who knows now, all the walls have come down.

Your thread title reminds me of a Miley Cyrus song, put that on your list as well Urbs.

Something i've never heard and never will can't annoy me :)

1. Because covers should reflect the music. Simple as that.

Punk covers should look like this

Metal covers should look like this

Indie covers should look like this

And prog covers should look like this

Pretty basic knowledge. If you sound like Aerosmith than for the love of god don't seek out Hipgnosis for your cover art.

2. I'm just describing a scenario. But if I see something with Roger Dean cover art, I would almost automatically assume it's progressive rock, album art should indeed be a pretty good indicator of what kind of music it is. What f*cking kind of punk or indie band would seek out Roger Dean for cover art?

Heh. I've often had this same complaint about Grateful Dead album covers. :p:

good point... and good job, I look forward to whatever comes next.

:tramp: I can't wait for number 1... it's gonna be the longest 6-8 months ever!!
I always felt Iron Maiden went overboard with their menacing covers... as a kid it scared the **** out of me and always made me think the music was just as scary, but it really isn't.

I dunno. Their music DOES remind me of dancing teddy bears sometimes.

The best thing about the invention of the CD is that if an album you want has a Roger Dean cover you can now slip it inside your copy of 60+ BBW Sluts Monthly without any embarrassment.
