Favorite Cover Art on an album?

[diamondsnake]

Does anyone have a favorite album cover? I was kind of debating in my head today which one I like the best and I can't decide! I'm really liking the Say you Will cover art, but maybe that is because it is just new.

By the way, I'm new here!

Welcome aboard!! :)

Well, I REALLY love the SYW cover because of TWO WORDS: leather pants. ;) LMAO!!! Lindsey in LEATHER PANTS, my friends!!

Seriously tho...I love the SYW cover (Stevie's hair is cool, it looks so full and fluffy!) and my faves are Rumours, Tango, Mirage, Kiln House, Then Play On and The Dance.

SYW - LEATHER PANTS!!!!!!

Rumours - Classic, romantic, timeless

Tango - The colors are intriguing and I love that there's a penguin AND some sort of UFO (LOL)

Mirage - The "illusion" and Lindsey lookin HOT and Stevie lookin...um....very flexible. LOL

Kiln House - The colors!!!!!! It's so whimsical!!

Then Play On - It's very 60's and cool!

The Dance - The only Fireflies-era cover with all five....well not counting the VBOFM. LOL

For me it's got to be Tusk...now hang on one second and let me explain myself!! :)

Not because of the actual front cover with the dog photo but because of all the wonderful stuff on the inside of the vinyl LP...loads to look at and every time I look at it I find a little something new :D And I especially love the band photos from the secondary inners too.

Wish they picked a better photo for the main cover though....the dog was Mick's idea wasn't it? :confused:

Love and happiness from Sarah

I really like the Say You Will cover as well. But, my favorite covers are 1. Rumours and then 2.Tusk. The only reason I like the Tusk cover is because whenever my sisters looks at it she cracks up at the dog.

My favorite album covers are Kiln House & Rumours. Kiln House, because Christine drew the cover and Rumours because of its simplicity & elegance. Since I'm a dog lover, I don't like the actual Tusk cover. But, I love the artwork on the inner sleeves. Like the earlier post, I'm always finding something new every time I look at them.

[shackin'up]

Tusk. Without any question. Because of the whole cover-concept. And of course: it contains the best album ever recorded....

[strandinthewind]

I think "Bare Trees" is very cool and quite indicative on the feel of the record. I also love the Behind the Mask cover.

I also love about how La Nicks said it killed her to do the cover of Mirage because she thought she was the reincarnation of Marie Antoinette and she experienced difficulty throwing her head back like that because Marie's had been cut off - Only Stevie :laugh:

[tamaraluvsFM]

My favs are Mirage and Rumours. Both are classic and romantic poses and have my gal, Stevie in it. I also like..and I know its not MAC, but I love the Buckingham Nicks cover and the pics inside. I have a poster of BN cover framed and hanging in my house. Nice conversation piece :)

Bare Trees – love the photograph of the trees on the front

Rumours – classic romantic Stevie & gallant Mick

Mirage – lovely photograph with my Gypsy bending backwards

Tango – awesome artwork reminds me of a tropical tango in the night

Time – Don’t care for the album, but love the photo on the front for some reason

SYW – LOVE IT! LOVE IT!

Don’t care for: BTM, Tusk, FM

[darklinensuit]

I agree that Time & Bare Trees have covers very appropriate to their themes.

Rumours gives a sense of grace and artistry, but I hate that dull yellow color. I admit that the color makes the album instantly recognizable in any collection.

Mirage is my favorite of the Rumours line-up. Love the surreal/brushed/hand-tinted effect along with the dark background. Even so, Stevie's neck is creepy, very long, and looking almost like she has an Adam's Apple sticking out. (It's funny that Strand mentioned the Marie thing, because when I see the Mirage cover I always think of that interview in which Stevie says she was beheaded in her past life, so she has no control over how far she can put her head back at the beauty parlor.)The contrast in arm positions between Stevie's & Christine's is great. And even Lindsey's eye make-up isn't too distracting.

I also like the BN cover, but my favorite cover is Rock a Little.

I forgot I love the Dance too. Also love the photo of the set w/out all them in it, but with the props still there.

As far as Stevie solo, I love TISL, SA and OSOTM.

[Nicks Fan]

My favourite cover is Mirage. I like the way the band looks and the cover is nicely done. The Dance cover is really nice as well with all of them making it on the cover. For Stevie's Solo Album's I like the Trouble In Shangri La album as I like the way it is photographed. Lindsey's Out of The Cradle album is also very good Nothing too fancy but a really good cover none the less.

[macmar71]

I would say that my favorite cover is Mirage as it was the first album I purchased, the picture of the three creative forces in the band is one that brings me back in time.

I also love the Dance cover, too.

[ShangriLaTroubl]

I really love the SAY YOU WILL cover because it is just so different, the same reason I like the TUSK cover....BUT nothing beats Rumours for me I would say.

[rhiannon1119]

My favorites are Rumours because it is just such a classic cover, The Dance because all of them are on it and it is really cool and Say You Will just for the Lindsey and Stevie factor!

[Tusk57]

I like the FM Greatest Hits cover the best with that flower and the one leaf bent down. Is that art or what?! Just kidding! My favorite has to be the Mirage cover. Man, would I give my left foot to be in Lindsey's position. Damn! Then the Rumours one of course with Stevie looking all hot to go. Then the Buckingham/Nicks one goes without saying. For Stevie solo I vote for TOSOTM. I've got a giant painting of that in my house. That is a very unladylike position she is in. :)

[Mad4stevie]

I love the Rumours cover. So classic - Stevie in her black chiffon dress - I love it!

I like the SYW cover, too.

I would also vote for the BN cover.

I hate the Tusk cover. I just don't get it. That dog is weird . . .

[FuzzyPlum]

I'm surprised there isn't more love for the 'Fleetwood Mac' cover.

Top 5 album covers;

1) Fleetwood Mac (White)
2) Rumours
3) Mirage
4) Live (sorry, I like it)
5) Say You Will

I'm in two minds about Tusk. I get the point of the nondescript image of Kens dog- I just don't like it. Of course I love the sleeve when I open it up.

[tabruns]

1. Rumours
2. Say You Will
3. Tango In The Night

Those are the three best, I think. I'd love to know the creative thinking that went into Tusk......the cover itself seems too minimal, but then you got sleeves within sleeves.

I think 'Behind The Mask' was a missed opportunity for a cool cover.

Gotta agree on the leather...Lindsey IMO has never looked sexier than he does on the SYW cover. I also like how Mick and John are only partially visible. The design is great. And while I love Stevie's hair, her outfit leaves a lot to be desired.

[gssmith]

I like them all! Especially Rumours because it's so iconic, even the Simpsons did it. The Dance and the white album also instantly come to mind. Tusk is weird, but hey, it fits the theme so it makes the point. 1988 GH is simple but elegant.

All of Stevie's album covers are beautiful too. Maybe not In Your Dreams so much though.
