Sonic Youth - Washing Machine

Sonic Youth commissioned graphic designer Mike Mills (who later directed the movies Thumbsucker and Beginners) to design the cover on the recommendation of Sofia Coppola.

Boris' Flood.

King Crimson's In the Wake of Poseidon.
Design-wise, it's a bit of a clusterfuck, but I love it for the beauty of the art. Otherwise, I would have picked Discipline.
Beat, Larks' Tongues in Aspic, Islands and ITCOCK are also great covers.

Casting one vote for Heroes, although bowie has lots of great album art.

This album cover was inspired by the art for Haruomi Hosono - Hosono House according to his video for Amoeba (What's In My Bag), if you were curious.

When it comes to DG, I respect everyone's personal choice but for me it's definitely ExMil. Just the fact that one of the band members kept it in his wallet and they just used it with the wear an tear is unique. The cover simply goes with the atmosphere that the whole album creates, not to mention that no one has ever found the original of the photo itself. I just simply love it.

>>61835608
That's the point, the whole album is referencing his influences (much more directly than usual)

>>61832013
Yes.

>>61832901
I prefer ...Like Clockwork, but Era Vulgaris is severely underrated, both its artwork and the music on it.

Like, a lot of albums have that one weird song that kinda sticks out and that you skip every time, but then you do listen to it one day and it kinda sticks with you, and you notice that it's actually the best fucking song on the album.
Era Vulgaris is an entire album full of songs like that. Take any song from that and put it on a different album and it would be the song you keep skipping but will end up being your favorite song on it.

>>61840968
I agree. It definitely fits the whole DIY-"look at this weird unknown tape I found"-aesthetic they had going back then.
