It’s easy to argue what Paramore’s best album is, depending on who you’re talking to but one thing isn’t as debatable is which of their album covers is the best. I think it’s pretty safe to say that this cover for their 2009 release is almost as popular as the music itself, which has gone…
Back in the day before I ever even heard any song by Madonna, I remember seeing this cover art for the first time while browsing the CD aisle and instantly knowing this was a significant piece of music. Maybe it was the music nerd in me already judging albums by their covers, or maybe it…
Choosing which Death Cab album is my favorite depends on my mood and the day, but choosing which of their cover art works is my favorite is a no brainer. The cover for Transatlaticism is a perfect representation of the album itself; mysterious and frustrating but aesthetically pleasing at the same time. This one does…
Every since I was young, I have always associated R&B music with the color purple. There was no rhyme or reason to it; to put it simply, the genre just sounds like the color purple to me. But that’s not the only reason this cover sticks out to me so much. This photograph is set…

When it comes to The Maine, this album cover is the first that comes to mind. Not only does this happen to be my favorite cover of theirs, but it’s also one that I can’t seem to decipher. Granted, I also haven’t listened back to this record in a little while so maybe I should…
An album that not only revolutionized Janet Jackson’s career but an entire genre of music deserved a cover that was just as attention catching and it definitely got it. Control was a pivotal moment for Janet where we saw her take over her artistry and really become her own person, along with creating a very…
Street Survivors is the fifth studio album from Lynyrd Skynyrd released in the late 1970’s and upon first look, it looks rather normal.
