Favorite Album Cover

[wickedgarden23]

Since people have been talking about whether or not they like the new STP album cover, it got me thinking...which STP album cover is my favorite? Album artwork is really important to me, so it was kinda hard to just think of the STP covers as simply album covers without thinking about the music too much. Anyways, here's how I'd rank them:

1. Purple
2. Shangri-La Dee Da
3. Core
4. No. 4
5. Tiny Music
6. Self-titled

Let me note that although I'm not crazy about #6's cover, I feel only knowing it for a short time makes it a little unfair since I'm so used to the other covers and got into STP after Shangri-La

Whoa Tyrant that's sweet! Never seen that before. And I forgot about Thank You...that's a great cover I'd probably put it at #3 on my list after Shangri-La

I forgot "Thank You" too. It's actually pretty neat! Wished that'd been the cover of the new album and vice versa.

Tiny Music
Purple
SLDD
Core
No. 4

Ironically, that's how I rank the albums from a music standpoint. I didn't rank the s/t album because the artwork hasn't sunk in yet.

From an artwork standpoint:

1. Thank You
2. Shangri La Dee Da
3. Purple
