Posting this cover, cause if I was asked this question as a kid I would have picked:

http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/image...06352110.L.jpg

I actually spent alot of time as a kid trying to recreate this whole thing for an art class, just cause I liked it so much. I thought I did a decent job, but my teachers was just like, "uhhhh..."

I donno, there's alot of little details in it. You can't see it here very well but if the image was sharper there's some amusing stuff going on between the crowd of people.

Awful if you don't understand the tongue-in-cheek mentality behind it. I must say Cosey is damn sexy in that picture.

LOL that album cover kills me. It looks like the music would be all peaceful and placid but once you put on the record its ****in dark. They probably fooled a bunch of naive people into giving them a shot

Uggh! I want to post some pictures in this thread so bad, but can't post links yet.

I've always had a soft spot for Beck's Mellow Gold album cover. I'm sure you all know what it looks like, so the lack of a link here shouldn't be too much of a bother :p

No; that's them right there. Definitely intentionally "bad" though.

For shits and giggles I googled the validity of this statement:

Not just that either

The picture for that cover was taken on Beachy Head.

The later I do a lot, the former not as much though I'm often tempted. A free download to try it first maybe. :p:

I've said this millions of times. Most of Tool's fans are pretentious morons. Tool themselves are not pretentious IMO.

I used to have a big poster of that, definitely a lot of weird stuff going on. Especially "that one night" on acid.
