What's your favorite album cover i was looking at the collection and i stumbled upon A kind of magic and thought wow what a great cover for an album, i remember when i was about 12 and in school being very proud of being a queen fan and that this cover was like no other around and also it made wearing the t-shirts more noticeable too.
Queen have always been very inventive with their album covers haven't they what's your fave and why.
I've always loved Hot Space, but Queen II and A Night At The Opera are just iconic, like Lester said. I'm not a huge fan of The Miracle, though. It's inventive, but it's kind of creepy!
as far as straight design/artwork goes, I give all my votes to Jazz. Thats a hypnoticly baddass cover, and the tiny deatails of the pink naked bicycling chicks around the edges is hot shit. i want a gigantic Jazz poster.
News of the World. I bought it in '77 and played it to death and always loved the cover. So much so that I sent my Astounding Science Fiction magazine to Kelly Freas to autograph it. RIP Kelly.
I like the ANATO and ADATR covers pretty much at the moment, but the others are great too.. its hard to decide..
btw, WHO made those two covers? I mean ANATO and ADATR.. cant find it on my records.
This is a no brainer for me......You get all of there albums lay them across a table or something and watch and see which one sticks out the most to you. I guarantee you that most people will say Hot Space. It is totally different then any of the others, because I can find simularities with the others, but the combination of the bright 4 colored background and the sillouhettes of each members face is well done indeed.........If I had to pick a second though it would be News Of The World......
I'd have to say-A kind of magic.That's the cover that changed my life.Back in '86 I was 5 year old kid who was messing around with his mum's cassettes.Suddenly I saw this colourful one with odd sketches-it was AKOM.I started playing One vision over and over again and that was it.Love at first sight!Anyway,respect to all covers but this is my top three:1.A kind of magic
2.News of the world
3.Hot space
