Seeing so much ''Best....'' topics, I wondered what you guys think about the best album cover. :D

EDIT: EVEN THOUGH THE POLL LETS YOU VOTE FOR MULTIPLE CHOICES, YOU ARE ONLY ALLOWED TO VOTE FOR ONE!

Has to be Dangerous.

2-Off the Wall glorious happiness
3-BAD-sex on legs wrapped in black leather.

(poll lets you vote more than once? I know it says multiple choice but wanted to make sure I didn't cheat.)

The cover to Michael is incredible, I really love it and if I ever buy a Mansion, I want it blown up and painted on the ceiling. It will be the MJ Tribute ceiling. Even better than that is the unused version which had the Prince symbol floating in a fish tank.

Very close second is Dangerous, I love the complexity of that design and the music on that album is much better than Michael, but come on the cover to Michael is very cool.
 
Dangerous! The cover is so artful and theater-like. It truly showcases the theme(s) of the album.
 
Off The Wall - Classic period, MJ looks happy and the tux and Afro give it that simply but classic look.

Dangerous - Dearing, mysterious, ambitious, adventurous.

Michael - Similar to Dangerous in scope and the definite made for poster artwork.

The ‘Dangerous’ cover is mysterious because MJ wanted people to interpret the images for themselves.

The ‘Michael’ cover is a totally unsuccessful effort to recapture the impact/appeal of the ‘Dangerous’ cover.

I never really got it as an attempt to redo Dangerous, more so just show MJ's career overtime in one image. It was the best part of the album for me, I even have it up as a poster in my room. It's better when the sides aren't cut off for the 1:1 album artwork :)
 
Dangerous, no other is even close.

If Mr. Brainwash artwork had been the actual Xscape cover, it'd be in my top 3 of favorites, Bad and Thriller are tied in no. 2. And if this picture with the same brick wall background had been the OTW cover, it'd be in my top 5. I love everything in Michael in this picture.

This on the other hand is no jokin' matter; quite serious too, all blinged out and iced out with his little ring on.....makes ya wanna get up, do the military salute and say "yes, ssssir; of course, sir" :p

And since photos seem to be the rage of the moment, might as well take a sec and appreciate this one posted on the MJJC FB wall

Why was it "unsuccessful'? Please elaborate.
 
Dangerous - however I gotta give a shout out to BOTDF..... thats just a great great cover
 
Tough question :scratch:
Dangerous represents the themes within the album the best, it's so mysterious and intriguing
I love BAD it's just cool MJ in leathers looking tough was very iconic
 
Mike looks good on the Bad cover. The way he just looks at ya. So serious, so tough. The clothing he's wearing. So simple, yet so perfect.

But Dangerous album... Damn. His eyes. His eyebrows. And all the mysterious characters around it. The other album covers feature a whole face of body of Mike. But on Dangerous. It's just his eyes, which makes it very mysterious but yet so beautiful. I swear the album cover just represents all the songs on the album. Love it. No other album comes near to the perfection of the Dangerous album cover.
 
The Dangerous cover is a perfect visual representation of the album.

It's dark, mysterious, layered, troubled, scary, awkward, moody and perfect.
 
I'd agree about Dangerous. But i also like Blood on the Dance Floor and Xscape!
I like the idea of Xscape cover... the whole Universe fits into Michael :)
 
It's Off The Wall for me! The tux, the FRO, his SMILE and how it seemed he was going to dance his way off the cover, lol! I used to keep the vinyl inside the inner sleeve (when I wasn't playing it) as I displayed the full folded out album cover on my wall. :girl_love:

It is definitely the Dangerous album. I remember finding things on that cover. That I have never notice before. This was years after first getting the album back in 1993. It is one of the reasons why that album has remain my number 1 favorite MJ album. Another reason it is because of Who Is It being on that album.
 
i like dangerous the most.

but i love the Xscape cover. why?
cause they didnt use an outdated/old image of MJ and it could have been used as a cover of a new album between 2004-2009.
(i dont care if its photoshopped, since thats normal nowadays)
 
To each their own on tastes but in all honestly, Michael looks like he has a dog's cone of shame to prevent to lick himself, his lips were hideously photoshopped and because of the Xscape font it looks like he has Martian antennae. Mr. Brainwash artwork looks more realistic and human even though it kind of reminds me to the Uncle Sam poster with the 'I WANT YOU' slogan but Michael looks so hot.

Oh yes. Totally agree. Absolutely hideous cover. If we had a worst album cover thread, I'd give it a 100 votes.
It made it even worse when we got the Mr. Brainwash artwork. That would have been a perfect cover.
