I didn't find any thread similiar to this with the search, so I thought I'd give it a go.

So, what do you think are the most beautiful/the best/most interesting album covers? They don't have to be from your favorite artists or Michael, just covers that you like or find interesting. Post yours. ;)

IN NO SPECIFIC ORDER:

Mary J. Blige - The Breakthrough

I love this album and the cover. I don't know, there's something really beautiful in it IMO. Very simple and beautiful.

Janet Jackson - janet.

For very much the same reasons I think Mary's album cover is beautiful. This is one of my favorite Janet albums and her best album cover in my opinion. It's very simple.

Prince - 3121

Loving it.

Cyndi Lauper - True Colors

I've always liked this cover.

Michael Jackson - Dangerous

Of course we can't be talking about great album covers without mentioning Dangerous. ;) There's so many things in this cover that everytime I watch it I see something I've never seen before. I bet this took ages to draw.

There's tons of more amazing covers but I can't get them to my head right now. :D Let's see yours.

(PS, I found this site that has listed the 100 most horrible album covers ever. http://rateyourmusic.com/list/djlanda/the_100_worst_album_covers_ever/
The worst thing is that HIStory is number 7 and Prince's LoveSexy cover (which I love BTW) is number one. :toofunny: Everybody make your own conclusions. I swear I would buy LoveSexy just judging by it's cover. Stupid list, lmao. :toofunny: )

Dangerous is definitely album cover ever, ironically HIStory is one of the worst.

janet is also beautiful as others have said. Other fantastic ones are:
