Pictures that would have made great album covers

And here is a vintage Elton John photo that would have made a most memorable cover...

If this doesn't say a 1000 words, I don't know what does...

 

Why? Most artists aren't 1/1000th as rebellious as Cash.

 

Can someone photoshop the text from a Meghan Trainor record onto the Johnny Cash photo to show cungar how funny it would be?

 

OK? I'm confused but you have a cool user name so I forgive you.

 

It wouldn't take much to convince me that this is a great album cover waiting to happen...

I don't know which artist would use it, but does it matter?

 

Jackson Browne's 1974 album, "Late For The Sky", already has one of the greatest cover photos of all-time, but this might have made for a great one as well (for a gatefold)...

 

This is a great Doors photo that might have served as a wonderful cover (or picture sleeve)...

 

I wouldn't mind seeing this used as a Zeppelin cover celebrating more outtakes from "In Through The Out Door"...

I like her taste!

 

The Spice Girls' mothers?

 

Anything is possible I suppose.

 

I would have used something like this for the cover of the "Yellow Submarine" soundtrack. This has always been one of my favorite photos of the Fab Four...

 

I always thought this was a cool photo...very futuristic with the neon lights and all. Would've made for a better cover than just a purple background with 'Prince 1999' painted on. The lettering is creative, sure, but it's a boring cover otherwise. And all of his albums before 1999 and after featured him on the front cover (until Batman).

 

And I would have used a snapshot from the satellite broadcast of "All You Need Is Love" as the picture sleeve for the US single. I was never much a fan of the white background sleeve with the "pepper suit" profiles. I like this photo much better (assuming I could somehow condense this wide photo into the space of a square)...

 

Yes. I think the cover has its own charm too, but that photo is certainly more...smoky and provocative. Much like the album...

 

Shout-out(s)...Jim Marshall!

 

I love this outtake photo from my favorite Stones album "Exile On Main St". I think it would make a fitting cover for a compilation of some sort. Yes, the Stones need another compilation...

 

Exactly...it's the perfect image to encapsulate everything the album is about...I could imagine looking at that futuristic cover along with listening to the song "Something In The Water" and see a perfect fit artistically.

 

What the heck is Geoege doing with his hands? Never mind I don't want to know. His pants look like blue scrubs.

 

I can hear the photographer now.

"Ya know what? Throw the dog up on top too."

 

A possible cover for any comical artist...
