Mine is the cover of Saucerful of Secrets by Pink Floyd (interestingly,
I'm the only Pink Floyd fan that I know of that lists that as their
favorite album).

Mine is the Zappa album 'Titties And Beer' which features one of FZs greatest ever guitar solos (Le Serviette Noir) or 'Black Napkins' to you and me. Awesome.

At that time, both bands were on the same label. My suspicion is someone in the art department got lazy and skimped on the Spock's Beard album. Why do I say that? Because I think the CGI probably took longer back then. That and they probably thought it would be funny to see how many people would catch it. |
There was an interview I read of one of the bands (I think SX, but I'm not sure) and he had no idea about the other band's artwork being so similar. |
Yeah...but I mean that someone at InsideOut Records might've been playing a prank, not the bands which shared the label.

LOL, no big deal...
Here's the cover of V, for anybody interested...
Some people hate the obvious CGI look...but there's just an elegance about it I really like.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Very cool thread! I'm ashamed to say, there were a few avatars there that I honestly didn't know what album they came from
