I was going to post the cover to Amorica by Black Crowes but I don't want to get in trouble.

speaking of album covers that would get you in trouble, there's the child porn covers of Blind Faith and Scorpions and Ted Nugents big misogynistic mistake with Love Grenade. I also remember a certain Pantera album showing a drill getting shoved up someones butt hole and a Mayhem album that had a picture of the lead singers actual suicide on it.

The cover to Love Grenade is the closest thing to a real life version of the original concept for Spinal Tap's Smell the Glove.

At my college radio station we had some obscure early-70s rock album cover that looked scarily like Smell The Glove, only instead of crawling toward a glove, the woman was crawling toward a spoonful of honey.

Wish I knew the name of the band.

R.I.P. Storm Thorgerson

Pink Floyd album designer Storm Thorgerson dies !

In a statement, Thorgerson's family said that his death "was peaceful and he was surrounded by family and friends." The statement gave few further details but said that the artist, who suffered a stroke in 2003, had been ill for some time.

Even those who are not familiar with Thorgerson's name will have seen his work gracing vinyl collections and CD racks. He was best known for his surreal Pink Floyd covers, which guitarist David Gilmour said had long been "an inseparable part of our work."

Some of Thorgerson's covers — the disturbing image of burning man in a business suit featured on Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" or the stark prism on the band's "Dark Side of the Moon" — have become icons in their own right.

Thorgerson also made covers for Led Zeppelin, Peter Gabriel, Phish, Styx, and Muse. His art tended toward the unsettling or the bizarre. One particularly weird CD front for the Cranberries' "Bury the Hatchet" featured a monstrous, disembodied eye staring at a crouching, naked figure in a desert. Another Pink Floyd album cover — which Thorgerson said had made the record company "completely berserk" — featured nothing more than a picture of a cow staring out from a field.

Thorgerson described his work as a kind of fantasy job — in both senses of the word.
