I liked Duke's cover, it is very charming. Maybe I'm just crazy.

GG's music is great, but their album covers leave something to be desired.  Take Three Friends for example - does anybody really like that cover?  Almost turned me off buying that CD.

i like Three Friend's cover, even though it's the same as their debut.
My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want!

Alan Parsons Project -Eve.  You'd think rock stars could've found hotter women for their cover

 

BTW, has anyone seen the alternate cover for GG's Octopus?  The one that's not in the jar?  Now that's cool.
Jethro Tull kicks ass!

But don't forget the Moody Blues :)

Bad? Maybe, as in "those apples have gone bad," but it's a pretty cool cover.

Sorry but you're mistaken, mate.
There's more to it than the cover.
Check out the digipack for example to see what I mean.
