They're both great record covers!

Bowie's is more interesting and provoking. Which is always a good thing in pop. Surely?

I like the Bowie one actually. I like the way it ties in with the album's theme of dissecting pop culture and false characters by completely defacing one of his own personas!

Having said that, if you knew nothing about Bowie or what's on the album and just stumbled across that cover you would most likely think it was a bit shit.

Why isn't there an emoticon for "suckers". The emperor isn't wearing any clothes! Then again a half arsed, mediocre sleeve is maybe, at least, a fair indication of the music contained within.

Thought it sounded like a decent album personally!

I think it's a lazy cover and actually sells what's on the album a bit short!

Can I just point out that, when I started this thread, the idea was for people to post one of their favorite album sleeves and one of their least favorite. Not that I want the whole world to stop talking about David Bowie or anything, just wasn't what I envisaged for this thread.

I honestly can't think of an album cover worse than that one by Bowie (unless I go digging up one of the novelty records covers that are everywhere on facebook, etc). As for best, I love most psychedelia covers. This one is one of many:



But I really like this one so much, it's the only sleeve I have mounted on my wall:

As record packaging as a whole, my slightly biased opinion finds Spiritualized's 3" CD pill pack pretty hard to beat.





As for the worst? Where to start...

This somewhat dubious/bordering on child porn effort from Blind Faith surely has to be looked at differently now.



I wouldn't have bothered posting it if it wasn't so well known anyway.
