Album cover list - best to worst

Good topic. Army is worthy of a thread of its down. I googled it and was amazed how many bands have had virtually the same cover. Its not everyone's cup of tea but I think it looks great, shame I don't the music much. Used to love my tour teeshirt

I was young seeing the 60's and 70's covers and those first impressions of the sleeves has stuck. So don't like MKGS or WYW

Love Heat, OTL, BFY, Live! Favourite is Quo

Like HELLO NTL JS perfect remedy,dog, back to back and Heavy Traffic

DETEST 4th chord, Don't stop, AC and aquostcks.

Don't mind backbone, 1982

Don't like QPQ, party and UTI

From memory I love the back covers of NTL, Heat, BFY, Live and possibly others I've forgotten.

Favourite 7: Piledriver,  Quo,  Hello,  On The Level,  Live,  Gold Bars Vol 2 and  Backbone.

Worst 7:  Ma Kelly's  Greasy Spoon,  Aquostic,  Quid Pro Quo,  Famous In The Last Century,  Thirsty Work,  Ain't Complaining and  Just Supposin'.

Yep.

Cheap and ugly to look at, and generally in bad taste

I think there are only a few Quo album covers I've really disliked. And, of course, several that I've loved on first glimpse. The rest are just sort of middling and I have no opinion either way. 

Piledriver is as iconic as it gets and is pretty much the sleeve that contributed to their fame. Whoever had the idea of putting that heads down shot on the front, it was a stroke of genius. I think it remains my favourite. It's the Quo I grew up with. Although the Dog, Hello! and the Quo tree are up there. 4 albums on the trot with superb sleeves. They genuinely never put a foot wrong between '71 and '74.

I think I also go against the grain in having always liked the cover of Ain't Complaining. The content is another matter of course

I'd say those I particularly don't like are In Search of the Fourth Chord, Famous and Don't Stop. To be fair to Fourth Chord, the 'theme' had presumably already been decided, so some poor sod had to come up with the artwork to suit. For me, an actual musical theme relating to a chord would have been far cleverer. And maybe saved us from some seriously awful merch

But, at the end of the day, I suppose an album sleeve, particularly in the old vinyl days, was designed to catch the eye so that people picked it up and looked into it further. 

Makes you wonder how Kiss sold any albums at all
