You're being very unfair to yourself using words like "biased",KJ.It may only SEEM biased to those many Americans who are generally either biased themselves or downright blazingly ignorant.Great music is great music.Form is a secondary attribute.
Some from Billboard's Greatest 50 album covers..some are mine. I only included the ones I agree with.
The Velvet Underground and Nico was number one...I have to agree. Some of the more iconic and iconoclastic album covers of all time...Forever Changes was not on their list, nor was Rubber Soul.
We knew when we saw Rubber Soul that we were in for something completely different!
My personal fave in my collection..Fred Neil
Love this one--not on Billboard's list but I have this one. The FIRST PRESSING on Del-Fi...it is just beautiful...as is the music contained within.
