You can't go past the Beatles and Stones for great album covers,

 

[Loonerty]

Favourite album covers (apart from my nom )

Death Cab For Cutie - Transatlanticism (2003)

Flight Facilities - Forever (2021)

Ivy - Long Distance (2001)

Friendly Fires - Pala (2011)

New Order - Power, Corruption & Lies (1983)

Above & Beyond - Tri-State (2006)

Bloc Party - Silent Alarm (2005)

Midnight Juggernauts - Dystopia (2007)

Lastly, otherwise I'll just keep going forever hahaha, one of my favourite soundtrack covers:

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)

I thought about Silent Alarm too

 

[Stokey]

 

[Plugger35]

The Stones Sticky Fingers album cover was a classic too and it even had a real zipper on the old albums.

I only had it on CD, I also bought Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band on CD as it had a great booklet as well as a great cover.

 

[Plugger35]

Another classic bad album cover.

 

[Fossie 32]

All of Roger Dean's covers are brill. My fave would probably be Fragile by Yes. A Question of Balance by the Moody Blues is great too. And Sgt. Peppers


Led Zep 3 had a fun cover with a spinning wheel

Thick As A Brick by Jethro Tull is an epic album with an epic cover - simulated newspaper with articles, pics and cartoons

 

[Stokey]

Yippee!

 

[Lunchlady Doris]

Can someone tell me where I've borrowed this melody from.

The chord change down from 0:12 - 0:19 is very reminiscent of a short phrase in Slash's solo from Don't You Cry (2:42-2:45).

I reckon I could get away with that ;P

I think maybe we are thinking of Centrefold.

[Plugger35]

Another one of my favourite album covers from one of my favourite albums.




Some of the best album covers look pretty simplistic but they become iconic.

 

[Loonerty]

Tame Impala's albums are all lovely covers

 

[Fossie 32]

John Lennon - Plastic Ono Band

 

[Plugger35]

One of my favourite Church album covers and albums, After Everything Now This, it is underrated.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness another one of my favourite 90s album covers and albums.

 

[JHF1870]

If anyone's interested, a crossover post.

B: Joel Amartey.

I ignored the last quarter as it was junk stats.

I voted on impact when it counted. Im not seduced by stats.

5. Will Ashcroft
4. Joe Daniher
3. Callum Ah Chee
2. Kai Lohmann
1. Lachie Neale
B. Nick Blakey

Ashcroft reminds me of JHF. So damaging with each disposal. Inside 50s were crucial.
Daniher will be overlooked but was pivotal all over the ground and his work with Forte cannot be underestimated. He kicks 4 goals and he gets 5.
Ah Chee and Lohmann set up the win in the first half.
Neale for his solid contribution and clearances leading to the win.

Blakey is one of the most overated players in the game. Did essentially nothing in the GF. Did a couple of ok things then overcomplicated things leading to turnovers. Hes a liability for Sydney. Guldens disposals had zero impact aside from one inside 50 in the 1st quarter. Same for Grundy despite the stats saying he played well.

Warner was top 5 in the first then went missing.

Heeney and Rowbottom, lesser extent Florent are the only players who can hold their head high.

 

[JHF1870]

Also update, Ive been on a road trip today so havent looked at votes. Will do the votes later Sunday Evening.

No songs or Billies standing out.

I enjoyed the open round and one of the songs Id nearly forgotten about so it was nice to hear it again.
