Top ten album covers.

ok, let me post some of mine:

"Hawk Meets Penguin" by the British Amon Düül. I just love the mysterious atmosphere. why for Goddesses sake do a hawk and a penguin meet on a graveyard at night? and why are there mines with burning fuses below them?

"Warrior on the Edge of Time" by Hawkwind. a very melancholy image of the lone warrior

"Captain Lockheed and the Starfighters" by Robert Calvert. especially when you take into account the back cover, where the 3 Starfighters are lying broken on the floor

"Don't Call Us We Call You" by Guru Guru. not their best album, but the cover is great. I love the Escheresque self-reflexivity in it; it reminds me of his picture of the two hands drawing each other

"Red Queen to Gryphon Three". according to Friede (who is an expert on chess) there is a chess variation on a 10x8 board which has 2 gryphons on each side as a piece. the gryphon is the second strongest piece in that variation of chess, combining the moves of knight and bishop. it has a kind of Janus head, which means it forks at the the top, showing the top of the bishop on one side and the top of the knight on the other. the player in the cover picture uses a standard chessboard though.

that's only 5, but I am too lazy now to look for the pics of the other 5. .another time
