Favorite album cover art
 
This was done on Stevie board, I made my own for Rumours era, and now I decided that Bucky needed lovin', and who else could provide that than the nerd who can talk all day about how Metallica's album cover art matches the music inside so well? :lol:

Anyways, you know the drill. Pick your fave album cover art, yadda yadda yadda.

hmmm. i don't really like the cover art on his albums that much.:shrug: in general, i think i prefer b&w or sparsely colored covers, but i really dislike photos used for LnO and GoS. if it was nicer photo, it would be GoS b/c of the color scheme.

so, i'll go with UTS - at least it's a nice pic of him...

Although it's not my favourite album, I like the earthy quality to the Under The Skin cover, it's almost a more real cover to himself as a person than the others.

I'll admit it, I absolutely hate the cover art on his albums. They're all ugly IMO. However, I voted for Go Insane, on account of the fact that I think the trippy cover fits the trippy music inside very well

My thoughts exactly.

Poor Lindsey isn't fairing well on the album covers front at all, is he lol? I really don't understand the animosity because they're not half bad to me. I must admit that the three year old in me gets a kick out of the fold out effect of Out of The Cradle :p It's like a little present every time you open the case hehe.

Havn't you got the album? Well when you pull out the front cover of the album and fold it out you get the full image of him with his guitar : clickeh

'Twas the only image I could find :p

Sorry, I own a copy that was made for me. Sorry :(

Is it that second on the middle with the sides too?

I don't really like any of them that much, but Under the Skin I had to pick because I like the expression on his face and he looks older on this cover than the previous ones obviously, because he is, & I have always liked him looking a bit more mature and I like older men.

i wouldn't characterize it as animosity - different people, different tastes!

I think UTS and OOTC are nice. I like the L & O cover, but it doesn't remind me of Lindsey and is the kind of generic hunk thing that really seems very foreign to him. To me, Go Insane is exactly like him. Weird, quirky, crazy, wild, layered, mesmerizing. I love everything it says.

I love it when I see his personality in a pose, in a stare or a snarl or the gnarl of his hair.

Of course, GOS is him too, but I think you could capture the mood with a picture that better reflects the way he looked back then.

I went with Go Insane, nothing really great about it... but it's the most inventive of the bunch. UTS was second closely followed by OOTC... Law and Order and GOS are awful.

I voted for L&O. It wasn't til I got the actual record, and not just the CD, that I was able to see how beautiful of a photo that cover really is.

Yep, I'd agree with above, especially "quirky" and "mesmerizing".

GOS would probably have got my vote as I love Bucky best right now, but there's something not right about that shot.
