Try to not be super-offended. I found it pretty funny, especially the reference to Ed's physical position and how "Alive" was made.

Haha i think I remember saying when the artwork was released that he looks like he's squatting for a shit in a field. I don't think it deserves to be lumped in with those others though, it looks quite smart. The KOL one looks ok too.

To be honest, it's not too bad compared to some of the others on there or many others overall.

The alive album thread should have the big bowl.....quite prophetic of that picture and Alive's cover being voted one of the worst.

The Jimi Hendrix cover is pretty cool.

I think that is in a category all its own.

Not saying the Alive cover is good at all but Pitchfork are pretty lame. Though it is pretty funny that Ed's album was the first on the list, and they also take a jab at the music. Any press is good press?

Pitchfork will forever have my respect for their review of Jet's album (which was simpley just a video of a monkey pissing into it's own mouth).

Well, maybe Alive's cover isnt that bad, but it's just really uncreative, in my opinion.

The cover for SFBM might have been very "Ed-centric" as well, I know, but at least had a little bit something special about it. Though it didn't suit the music on the record at all...

The one with the half black guy half gorilla is terrible... it's as if he is unaware of the history of such comparisons.

Why is MGMT's cover on there??
