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 |

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 |

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