favorite album cover

[cristochango]

Hey guys, I was thinkin this morning about what my favorite stevie album cover is... id definately have to go with Wild Heart. Idk. Her faces and everything is really "Stevie" to me.
Thoughts?

I was so conflicted in this poll, because I have two absolute favourites. The runner up has to be Trouble In Shangri-La. It's ethereal beauty and earthy-ness is almost like her revisiting her past self, to me. The Stevie that wasn't touched by wealth and luck, but made the best of the simple things in life; making them beautiful in her own way. That's the Stevie I can relate to most. But for the sheer poetic beauty of Bella Donna, I had to vote for it as my favourite. I'm probably reading too much into it, but the darkness surrounding her on the cover has always told a story to me about her isolation during her breakups/heartaches/drug problems etc. It's almost a narrative of how she felt internally; this beautiful and fragile creature perched on its own human form, cradled by the darkness of her subconscious and isolation from others around her. We've all felt that from time to time: Where we can be completely surrounded by people, but in our hearts we feel truelly alone.

I went for Trouble in Shangri-La. Not my favourite album by any means, but I adore the cover. The font, the colours - everything about it just screams 'Stevie' to me, without ever seeming indulgent of self-parodic.

I too voted Trouble in Shangri-La, such a stunning beautiful cover.
Silversprings i enjoyed reading your take on both covers, you pretty much said what i was thinking..

I went with Rock A Little but TISL would be a close second. RAL is special because it symbolizes witchy Stevie and takes me back to 1985 and when that album came out. Just always loved it.

I wanted to vote fro TISL, but Bella Donna just edged out cause I love that dress.

[greendaze5]

'TISL' without a doubt!

The outtakes are nice too (like the one of Stevie leaning against the arch with her face turned towards the ocean).

Can someone post this (and the other outtakes)?

I think she looks like an angel on the Street Angel cover, & it's always been one of my favorites. Honorable mentions to Trouble In Shangri-La, the colors and her dress are just beautiful !
Also, great idea, Chris. Never even thought of a 'favorite album art' thread! Someone should do one for favorite Fleetwood Mac album art? Anyone?

I think I will, but due to poll limits, I'll limit it to just the Rumours era lineup (and if anyone throws a hissy fit about it, I'll explain why)

Yes, that's what I was thinking too. Just from 'Fleetwood Mac' on....they can make a pre-Rumours poll if they have a prob with it

That's exactly what i said. I said no butt pain or hissy fits over it, but I should throw in that last part.

Trouble in Shangri-La. Beautiful.

I know it's a little obvious, but that Bella Donna cover is iconic. And she's looking damn hot in it.

[APerfectLie]

TISL. Mainly because not only is it amazing looking and very "Shangri-la" but also because she was in her 50's when it was taken and it looks like 1981 Stevie from behind.

I also voted for "The Wild Heart" but the Bella Donna cover is quite iconic. OSOTM was just trashy, and SA looked cheap and unpolished.

As for TISL, the cover worked well, but that inside image of her sitting was very poor, way to much photoshopping to make her look young. CD covers have trended to be more about showing just a face CU or a body shot, and less so about being a piece of art. Will be interesting to see what Warners goes with on this new release.
