Well If you're nomming iconic album covers then yes.

That one is definitely iconic, a bit too iconic though.

Anyway I've thought of something else so my nom is incoming.

I had a dog that would just lie and listen while I played the piano. As soon as I started playing Fur Elise she would jump up and twirl to the tune.

It looks like most of them are already included with the songs.

This was one of my favourite iconic album covers that I thought about nomming but thought otherwise.




The guy that was the baby on that album cover tried to file a lawsuit against Nirvana for child sexual exploitation but failed.

Nirvana win lawsuit over Nevermind baby album cover

A US judge has dismissed Spencer Elden’s claim that an image of him as a naked baby on the 1991 album constituted child sexual abuse

www.theguardian.com

That wasn't the reason I didn't nom it though, it's a great image of how humans are taught from a young age to chase the dollar.

The reason I didn't nom it was that it was too obvious and too much of a bote whore, I also thought someone else would nom it.

Another one of my favourite iconic 90s album covers and albums I considered.




I bought that album a long time before it became popular on commercial radio.

Ironically it was my least favourite song off it that got the most airplay on them.

Of the albums I've nommed here's my favourite 5 covers -

Lupe Fiasco painted the Tsetuo & Youth cover himself -




Sevdaliza with probably the most affecting cover for Shabrang -




Love this hot mess from Amaarae on The Angel You Don't Know -




This wouldn't go astray in an Art Gallery -




Shout out my mate who designed his band's album cover -
