Default Cover Art
Remember when people used to put a lot of thought into what their record cover would look like? There was a time when people wanted the cover to look cool and represent the music or band. I know now days bands count on MTV to push their image but cool cover art will always make me want to give a band a chance. What are some of your favorite covers? Some of mine:





The Who, Frank Zappa, ELP. Just a quick look at a few of my favorites.
