I've seen Genesis - Duke mentioned here, in this thread (I like the cover and I think the album is good) and the great cover - terrible album thread. LOL
In this thread, "Duke" has not been referenced. In this thread, "And Then There Were Three..." was brought up.

^ bunnies are definitely cute but the art style is cheesy for my eyes.

Here are some bunny album covers i find appealing

  • A-Trak - Dirty South Dance cover

Swans White Light From The Mouth Of Infinity album cover

Rush Presto album cover
