I love the DSOT cover, especially when you know what Storm was trying to communicate with it. The Floyd were always about light and sound, a balance between the visual elements of their show and the musical ones. So you have one guy covered in light bulbs and another covered in what appear to be birds and the two look like they're going to duel or battle.

Very interesting. The title is even great -- Delicate Sound of Thunder. I think that's a great way to describe Pink Floyd's music.

Ummagumma. I could look at it for hours. It's so creative.

I think Dark Side of the Moon beats any cover. It's not as fancy as most, but its symbolism is superb, and (together with the Pigs and the Wall) it's probably the image that represents Pink Floyd most. I think it's one of the best album covers in the history of music.

I must get a proper version of Delicate Sound of Thunder. I only have a Soviet pressing with 2/3 of the art work missing...

Ummagumma of Course

I got mine from Ebay. Still in shrink wrap -- I think it cost me a little under $20, including shipping.

I'm sure I can find it at a fairly reasonable price when I actually start looking for it. I saw it in a store a few weeks ago in good condition for 120 SKR (maybe 15 USD?). No shrink wrap though... :-)

There are so many Album cover but In few of are my favorites



and also I like

Molly Hatchet - "Flirtin with Disaster"
lots more - these just leap to mind

While this summary is a great piece of work, for me the album motif shows prison and freedom. Fighting Tommy being our main character, but through their pinball games found themselves free. Very musical and very real to say.
