I agree but the Who and Alan Jackson had good versions too.

Storm Thorgerson died on this day two years ago (and I think he was important enough to the industry to merit a mention). Canât believe itâs already two years â I remember hearing the news just yesterday, it seems! Of course, heâs best known for the Led Zep and Pink Floyd album covers, but there many, many more that are interesting too â like this one â
On Air by Alan Parsons

and this one from Muse ⦠Absolution (not a Muse listener but this artwork is distinctive)

^One of the tracks is named âNo Turn Un-Stonedâ, which might explain a lot! :hippie:

The best album cover designer by far. Roger Dean would be a close second but his work had a much narrower focus. And he is essentially a painter whereas Storm was a visionary - in every sense of the word. 'Broken China', 'Wish You Were Here', 'Dark Side of the Moon' & 'Tales of Mystery & Imagination' remain my favourite album covers of all time. The images reflect the music inside.

a mini-hijack: I always enjoyed all the Santana cover art--here's a selection: http://musicofourheart.me/2012/05/16/santana-album-art-and-artists/ << Good quote from R.E.M.

Greg Ham died on this day in 2012 â he was 58. A multi-instrumentalist, Ham played saxophone, keyboards, flute and harmonica for the Aussie group Men at Work, who made three studio albums in the early eighties which produced a number of high charting singles.
This was their first single which appears on their debut album, Business as Usual. Greg Ham on the sax â¦
