LET'S ARGUE: Best Album Covers of All Time 

OOOOOOOOH

ba-boom

Deserves a top comment stature 😭

i would like this comment but 69 is a perfect number

@@scanter too bad it's 74 now 😓

Lol

Lol

Lol

Lol

Lol

Can't argue with that

prime example: me

they do have a sick logo

*70%

I first listened to New Order from my dad, and found out about Joy Division from them.

and yet, it was sadly still better than clb

Because nobody cares about it

@@coryjohnson2486 huh?

Imagine not being aware of Smell The Glove

No one cares about Kanye or whatever he calls himself

Or dark side of the moon

Well it is the best album of all time so

@@evanw7878 hahahahaha.......no

Gavin Squires It’s better than most of Anthony’s 10’s tbh

You don't?

I do agree with the first part of what you said but for the most part I think it's just a loud minority who actually think it's bad if that makes sense

Bro I can’t stop shitting myself

@@mcdallywacker8977 it's a dangerous cycle

Rashied Shaw honestly I like the meddle cover the best. I own almost all Floyd vinyls before and counting the wall and being high off my ass, I get entranced by the cover staring at it the whole way through echoes.

@@theeoddments960 It's hard to not overrate what many musicians have pointed to and still point to as The Greatest Band Of All Time.

and if you happen to have the vinyl, the inside is even darker and trippier!

Sorely missed that one in the video

So sad it's the only cover the creator got to make before his death

Idk if i'd call it cool but i do like it

such a dumb album cover

@@antoniasalinas513 haha what an idiot used his real name online haha right antonio?

Yay me for no leak. (context: look at the comment above)

Lmaoo babies are expensive

Ahh yes there is nothing bad about the nevermind album cover

Yep that’s the one that’s the winner

Are You reminding us this cover so we don't have to?

What about Miley Cyrus and Her Dead Petz with her laying in a glitter-puke mess?

Nah he couldn't ruin an album for anyone. He only ruined his reputation somewhat... Fuck him and his pompous holier than thou attitude.

This comment deserved better 😞

Lil B’s Platinum Flame was an interesting choice to be sure but I don’t disagree

Its YaBoi y’all be too clever 😂

Didn't he make that one uzi album art

Kid A and In Rainbows are also gorgeous and unique. Radiohead's album artwork is always something strange and captivating. Except Pablo Honey. That one sucks.

@@tylerjhunter same with the bends, never was too great on that one either

@@xeryl_ lol, okay true

I love Radioheads cover art, especially OK computer. Also the Atoms for peace cover, it was so beautiful i bought it on CD and Vinyl!

@@xeryl_ hey the bends has an unforgettable cover

Interbussi’s Netness munerd sic

Damn boi its thicc

Who doesn't

Most topical quote of the year

*signs*

Yes

Pink Floyd tier list

I sign this petition

I've been waiting so long ugh it's what we need

This is in fact my favorite album cover. Especially when you look into the orchestration of the photography behind it, it's a work of art that probably surpasses the music itself

@@unhelpfulrevelations7989 easy now, the music is incredible

Titanic Rising is such a complete package, both the music and cover art are masterpieces

Unanimously agree

That album cover is sick, fits very well.

i agereeeee

Absolutely boss cover. The renaissance-painting style compliments the super lush and lavish sounds of the music really well and the colors are amazing

Yup. Done by collage artist John Craig. He’s a really good artist.

@Will Morgan I like em all. They’re all so different.

Oh so that's why he wears no shoeshine

idk why but i fucking died reading this and hearing him say it

@@tymorales8333 like paul

What's a proper way to say that? Asking as someone who is not a native english speaker

Haim Dmitriev Paul is not wearing shoes. Paul does not have shoes on.

The Wall's art, including non cover, is one of the best art to go with an album, and it adds to the story, (The Wall is the best Pink Floyd Album, but there is no bad Pink floyd album, and that person who said it was not a good album was probably a troll)

John Human It looks good but what is the wall cover art depicting?

College dropout,man gotta be kanye hidden gems...

@@longking2063 wdym it won a grammy for best rap album and was nominated for best album in 2005

Animals too

Hahahahah well done

The road was already named that.

@@toke7342 woooosh

@@secretyzeroo it was.

@@toke7342 yea but you missed the fucking joke…

I always thought that it's Ozzy

Thats not a dude, thats a witch

​@@irkhan4505 the figure on the front was enacted by a model named Louisa Livingstone, who was invited by photographer Keith McMillan

its cool but nowhere near one of the greatest album covers. if a random unknown band had that cover it would get little attention

​@Micky Richards Black Sabbath was a random unknown band when the album came out lol. I'd wager a fair amount of their success can be attributed to that cover. Its macabre visuals were unlike pretty much everything else before it and attracted many eyes.

Where do I sign?

Jug ntyhhhh

Completely agree. Sad the album artist passed away so soon

It Grabs Eyes, And Encompasses The Vibe Of The Album Perfectly. I Would Say It Describes 21 Century PERFECTLY, Epitaph Pretty Well, And Is Pretty Epic, Like The Title Track. It Dosent Look Like I Talk To The Wind Much, And No Picture Ever Could Describe Moonchild. 100% Agree.

Ya, it’s a pretty good album cover.

I like the inside cover much more

Overrated

plus it's deep af. They're angels pulling him from hell, which is supposed to be a metaphor for him being pulled out from hell by angels

The strange gloop in his collarbone really sells the whole image

what a thicc knee

If it was some fat dude's knee maybe.

i thought it was a knee too

Same

YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS

Pp

Baby pp

I only watched this video hoping this cover would be in it.

@Zachary Gaballa it's the exact image😂

@Zachary Gaballa I know. But he wasnt talking about what the image represents. He was just talking about asethetics. And as such described what the cover is.

@@FlameOnTheBeat succubus* 😤

I h8 you for making me Google that

The greatest album of all time*

Mario Salinas It’s a lit album cover, homie looks like he’s getting doused in jizz

The first Elvis Presley album cover titled " Elvis Presley" with the colour schemes is so iconic to me . Simplicity but legendary .It was an actual picture of him at a concert during his teenage years . It's the enjoyment of music in its purest form

@@Jose-wl1fy also

Came here to say this. You can throw it on your wall and guests who don’t know would probably just consider it good art.

That image shows off the fear and surprise of king crimsons music

I prefer Discipline's album cover tbh

That album cover could be just art, it is beautiful

so happy that you did. such an exciting, unique album.

Yes

Lol

Ye and the Pride & Glory album too

Facts

Dude Ranch by Blink-182

It’s pretty but also I think it’s kinda cheating since the painting wasn’t made with the intention of it being a Weezer album cover 150 years later

oh hello there mr funny videos

İ mean i’d say Black Celebration

Construction time again had a captivating cover.

Honestly most dm covers are amazing

Man idk Aja by steely dan too

It's beyond iconic

Absolutely. 100%.

not a fan of the cover. One thing I dont like is its a group of people beating and stomping a judge simply because hes republican. Also Just not a fan of the design itself.

@@skrtgoat9369 then you really don't understand it hahaha

@@James-vy5jg no i do get it. Black revolution, equality, oppression, this that. I know. I understand the meaning and I do support it, I like the concepts its just the actual the cover thats the issue not whats behind it.

I like how the man is upside down lol

love that one! i have the poster on my wall

I'd argue Closer is a classic for the same reason, though much more underrated:(

this.

@@sevastilouta5984 this.

The baseline to New Dawn Fades sounds like how the art looks

Lucas I support that. And the music is awesome too! :D

FF7 cover art

Ohhh yeah that’s a good one

woah

Symbolic

That's a living cover; every time you look at it it comes alive and reveals one more glimpse into the last days of The Beatles. The Masterpiece of all their Masterpieces.

It’s deceptively tripping to stare at while on a psychedelic. Melon was right about the level of orchestration in it

I remember buying that album at a record store in the mall. Member those?

Dookie is a perfect album cover. It matches Green Day’s gritty/dirty immature kids aesthetic in the early 90s and the album cover looks exactly like how the album sounds.

I wish more people talked about SY honestly. Goo is straight 🔥

I'm not even much of a Joy Division fan. But.....the cover for Unknown Pleasures is PERFECT. Probably my favorite cover of all time. I also really like Tool's Aenima cover. And....Nirvana's In Utero. Damn near every single Bjork album...but Biophilia in particular, even though it's my least favorite album of hers. Um.....I'm blanking lol. OH OH....the first 2 Jane's Addiction albums!!! Those are absolutely gorgeous. Marilyn Manson's PoaAF. Deftones - Gore. And the _worst_ cover of all time, imo? A Perfect Circle - 13th Step. Incredible album...but SHIT cover.

I'd have to argue that both Daydream Nation and A Thousand Leaves have better covers than Goo, but Goo is definitely the most ICONIC of the bunch.

i literally said goo and fantano didn’t put it in😡

Ethan Blair he should do a classics review of Goo or DDN

He just can’t keep taking Ls

Presidential Race:6

Doubleagentaron Presidential race: -6

@@Doubleagentaron With three sixes, Kanye could harness the power of Ye to manifest Satan.

Yes it is!

Good song

Fievel Grass Good album

true, that's awesome

Shine on you CRAZY DIAMOOND!

That and Operation Doomsday for me!

Everyone loves Madvillainy and MM... FOOD, and we DOOM fans love Operation Doomsday too.

@@thepotatotaxi2430I would say vaudeville villain, mouse and the mask, and born like this are as good as the 3 you mentioned

@@es0x def

I love that the remastered release comes with a field recording of the quarry/lake they were in for the album art. Easily one of my favorite albums

I agree

Then what's best? The one that's the most beautiful? The one that fits the music best?

But it wouldn't be iconic if it wasn't quality no?

@@hhoopplaa yes what else would it be

@@keontedennis7872 I gave two examples after "Then what's best?" which are not synonymous.

Hmmmmmm

The irony

maybe he thinks it’s impactful and influential but he just didn’t personally like the album

Idioy

@Anson Hartzler Because It's an over used meme, and because It's a great album

How dose this have 1 like

Seeing your name was a huge throwback to “B Q L U F E T”

YOOOO its tyler!!! hella nostalgia from you dude

Yeah that one Onision video was funny....until you pulled more on that thread and realized what a total psycho he actually is.

i wasnt around in ye olden times can someone explain this to me

Oh yeah. Whitney

But it's just Let It Be album cover, 40 years later

@@guilhermevideira1 i always thought Humanz looks more like either let it be or blur : best of, strange that they'd do a let it be tribute twice

@@guilhermevideira1 it's the cartoon version basically

@@guilhermevideira1 yeah but its a lot better

Plastic Beach cover is so much better. They actually built that model and put it in a water tank for the photo shoot, and also you have multiple variations like day, evening and night.

Does Yezzus technically have a cover.

@@cector7720 yup

No joke doe

My album doesn’t have a cover it’s live only and it’s just me calling a cat a bastard

Donda?

god that goddamn album

maxmunich only reaction appropriate when that album is mentioned really.

solar sands?

which phase tho

so i heard you listen to tame impala

Literally the artwork I was thinking of when I saw this pop up

Never heard of them, they sound pretty underground

Griffin Brand Griffin Gang!

Griffin yooo!

I like the alt art for that album better

Yep glad you mentioned that

Big ole deep cut there I thought I was the only one that ever listened to Klaatu

yes omg

melodrama's cover art belongs in the louvre 😪

@@peaarrllldiver Down the back, but who cares, still the Louvre

came here to say this. most iconic album cover for the most seamless, artfully-constructed album of all time. what sets melodrama apart from so many other albums isn’t just the brilliant wordplay and clever use of synth sounds with vocals (hard feelings/loveless), it’s how the album only works as a WHOLE. the entire album tells the chronological story of a whirlwind romance, a breakup, and moving on. it’s PHENOMENAL and I cannot stress enough how perfect melodrama is

Jocelyn u dropped this 👑

funny

There's a little too much going on in that album cover imo, but I respect your opinion

Same. The White Album is a close second.

Black

its because its white huh? 😡

Also Madvillainy

@@kabirgupta1039 also like Madvillainy (very simple but dark), though art-wise I do prefer MM..FOOD, it oozes so much "feel good time" kinda vibe if u get what I mean, like waking up from a good sleep and having a nice cereal breakfast.

MM.. FOOD definitely gives the impression of a saturday morning, breakfast and cartoons. A pretty animated album filled with food references and humor. However my favorite is probably Vaudeville Villain.

@@HDitzzDH very good pick, just a really straightforward, no BS album. My most favorite ain't even these two though as much as I heavily like them, mine would be Born Like This, I just love how dark, weird, and apocalyptic that album is, and somehow art-wise the homophobic song Batty Boys fits in the very villainous intent of the album because for a villain, Born Like This is definitely where DOOM is the most vile.

Revolver tho

Also, Anthony I need that lawnmower back. Dad is gonna kill me.

And once/if the artist gets big they ditch him.

"Some people do X." Uhhhhh yeah i guess some people do.

I don't agree with this. People won't force themselves to like something that's shit

I’m in a relatively small edm community and I find a lot of people 100% doing this. There’s no shame in liking big acts (most of them are big for a reason)

Is this a jojo reference?

stando powah I think it’s a jojo reference

@@standopowah yup it is a jojo reference indeed

CAT’S FOOT IRON CLAW NEUROSURGEONS S C R E A M F O R M O R E

@@standopowah no

Paradise Theatre is a great cover too plus the back cover with the theatre closed down.

hard agree

Gonna throw it on rn

I... Agree Seriously though, I fuckin love album art

This video should’ve been longer

@@corncake4677 yeah man, there's lots of amazing album covers, I think he should do more episodes

doppelmoppel album art/aesthetic is my fuckin shit it needs more appreciation

@@corncake4677 I totslly get that, I literally obsess over how pretty and amazing they are

Totally agree, that art is what got me into Radiohead as a whole. I saw it and instantly was curious enough to give it a blind listen. When I dove deeper into the album, I really began to appreciate and adore how much the music fit the image. I love when an album feels like it takes place in its cover art, and no one does it better than Kid A in my opinion.

I prefer rainbows... And hail to the thief.

@@duvisol Their art doesn’t quite encapsulated the sound as well as Kid A.

@@henrybenson519 hmm, well. I think Kid A is strong, but mainly because rainbows actually conveys an idea about the songs and Kid A says that something is going to be new, yet it doesn't say what and that's cool, but I prefer the fact that rainbows is also sending a message but saying it's about something silly, and colourful, very bright and with different spectres like a rainbow, which quite catches on with the first track 15 steps.

I don't know what it is about it, but I do really like Amnesiac's cover.

I love it too but I don't think it's _that_ great

Congratulations is better imo

YES

Ur spittin

Yes!

Crazy_ Chimpanzee!!! Fuck yes. Madvillainy’s album cover is so damn cool looking

Crazy_ Chimpanzee!!! Same with any of the other covers of his. MMM FOOD also looks really cool

Melon needs to review Doom Eternal and give it the 9.9 it deserves.

mucking felon

cause it's a let's argue not a let's agree. He already knows it's the goat album cover

They look like an edgy Saturday morning cartoon

?

word I love how the album art sounds

It is a great album cover

You mean the cover looks like how the music sounds.

I agree but it loses its flavour after a while Edit: what the fuck was I on about 7 months ago. That was before I realised YWGWYW is my favourite album ever

absolutely love the congratulations cover art

dot net beats the Tom and Jerry version someone did looks sick

nah all three are obnoxious

I have not seen one Flower Boy suggestion. Not one. Wtf

OMGxITZxPACMAN was gonna say awaken my love too

so you like heads and sci-fi landscapes
