"The Fabulous Wailers, The Leaves, The 13th Floor Elevators and The Seeds would have been some heavy shit with or without the Beatles. Would the Beatles have been nearly as heavy without them? I find that very doubtful. The Beatles were a pop…"

How many would you pick? A lot come to mind but it's probably more about personal history than purely liking the artwork.

Yeesh, and it's Cream. Man, supergroups nevah live up to their hype! In high school I kept buying their albums (9th grade, before I found New Wave and Punk), and other hippie tripe. Never did like anything 'bout 'em.

Wait Axel, are you saying you don't like the cover of the Ramones release? To me, the inside is as scrumptious as the outside!
And yeah, MikeL, that 1st Dolls album is another fave o' mine. Mmm, B&W fotos...I heard a rumor that originally the Dolls didn't like Rundgren's production, like the Cramps didn't like Chilton's work on their initial release. Wrong in Both cases I'm happy to say...

No the chick was talking about the difference of liking the artwork or just the idea. I was saying that I like The Ramones album cover. But it is no artwork, just them standing up against wall, brilliant.
The artwork on Cream is just what I call a beauty. Supergroup what ever. Their fucking rocking. Ginger Baker has different style. And this is before Clapton started to be be a fucking wanker.

I will always have this at the top of my list. The artist is one of my best friends and I was there the night he handed the original artwork to Lux and Ivy.

Oh man, don't get me started on this - I'll have to come back later.
Let me just ask, do you mean ever ever, or just rocknroll albums?

Two of my faves are also two of my favorite LPs.
"The Psychedelic Sounds of The 13th Floor Elevators" - The Mono version , printed in beautiful , near - flourescent colors , making the Stereo version's sleeve look like a rush job.
The reissue on Sundazed looks very close to the original.
Blue Cheer "Vincebus Eruptum" - Of any album cover I can think of , this comes closest to some of the best West Coast Rock poster art of it's day. Perforated lettering and patterned blobs and circles , with silver and dark blue - violet inks , and , yes , the boys look like they were tripping for the photo shoot. This is'nt a sick joke , but , I heard a blind man thanked the band for packaging their album in a sleeve he could read.

I think The Dolls liked Rundgren's production , but , were frustrated to find they still did'nt have any hit material. Even FM Radio was'nt ready for "Personality Crisis".
Sylvain Sylvain told me he was the lone holdout , who wanted to stay with Todd for their second album. The others , he said , wanted to go with Shadow Morton. Personally , I always liked "Too Much , Too Soon" , but , I know I'm one of the few.

RJFait replied to Reverend Stevee Ray's discussion the Beatles ... why NOT ?"I don't hate the Beatles, I just think the bulk of their work was gutless pop. At some point in the middle they started getting better drugs or something and put out a few good records. Then, they went right back to gutless pop."
RJFait replied to Rocco's discussion The Age Ole Question; Beatles or Stones?"It's funny that you ask this. I've always said, there are 2 kinds of people, Beatles and Stones, and they don't mix well. I am definitely Stones, my wife is Beatles. If only I'd asked 11 years ago..."

Iggy Pop is 25 years older than I am…"
