101 Awesome Artworks
This is the selection of what I consider to be my favorite 101 album covers of all time. List is organized in alphabetical order by band. |
1 | | Aerosmith Pump
I really love the sexual reference from this one, very creative imo |
2 | | Agalloch Ashes Against the Grain
The artwork fits perfectly the music |
3 | | The Allman Brothers Band At Fillmore East
One of my favorite band portraits of all time |
4 | | Amon Amarth Twilight of the Thunder God
A bit cheesy "fighting the dragon" stuff but it still conveys an epic feeling |
5 | | Anathema A Fine Day to Exit
This is one of those artworks you can stare at for minutes, I love all the details an items within the photograph |
6 | | Anathema A Natural Disaster
This one portrays loneliness, apocalypse, and hopelessness in a very beautiful way |
7 | | Anathema We're Here Because We're Here
Yet another beautiful and uplifting cover from Anathema. It feels warm and full of hope, contrary to A Natural Disaster |
8 | | Anorexia Nervosa New Obscurantis Order
If there's a title for the most disturbing cover, I think this one is a serious contender. The details are so bleak and the pedophilia reference is just so creepy |
9 | | Apocalyptica Reflections
I really like the cello reference with the woman's figure. |
10 | | The Beach Boys Smiley Smile
I really dig the font they used for this one and its hippy vibe. At least I feel it that way |
11 | | The Beatles Abbey Road
One of my favorite albums from all time has one of my favorite all time covers |
12 | | The Beatles Rubber Soul
Another excellent band photography and another great letter font |
13 | | Behemoth The Satanist
A very dark album cover that wisely avoids the explicit satanic album cover clichés |
14 | | The Black Dahlia Murder Nocturnal
I love all the deatails from this artwork, the color, the drawing and the relation with the album's title |
15 | | The Black Keys Brothers
An other all time favorite record, not top 50 though, but regarding to its cover I find it very funny and creative. One of those cases where less is more |
16 | | Black Sabbath Black Sabbath
The mother of dark album covers, no further description required |
17 | | Blue Oyster Cult Agents Of Fortune
A really interesting cover, there's something of it that I find intriguing |
18 | | Bob Dylan Blonde on Blonde
One of Dylan's best portraits imho. |
19 | | Bob Marley and The Wailers Legend
A legendary portrait from a legendary man |
20 | | Bon Jovi Slippery When Wet
It might be a basic cover but I really dig its concept and relation with the album's title |
21 | | Brand New Deja Entendu
I love the colors from this album cover. I like the references to the songs lyrical content |

23 | | Chic Risqué
An awesome vintage picture. |

Awesome album title/artwork mix |
26 | | The Clash London Calling

Awesome rework of Eugène Delacroix's 1830 painting Liberty Leading the People |
28 | | Cradle of Filth Cruelty and the Beast
Another dark and wicked album cover that summarizes perfectly the musical content of the album |
29 | | Cradle of Filth The Principle of Evil Made Flesh
For me this cover summarizes perfectly what Cradle of Filth is all about |
30 | | Cream Disraeli Gears
I guess this is how the world looks through the eyes of LSD, and if so I really like how it looks |
