Cover Art that Enhances the Album

Album cover art that fits the mood of the album and adds to the experience of listening through it
1Joy Division
Unknown Pleasures

Just perfect
2Grouper
Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill

Grouper's directly emotive album. The haunting image of a young Liz Harris fits the mood and also directs the abstract music towards a human narrator and the physical world.
3Radiohead
Hail to the Thief

A jumbled mess of disconnected, if often brilliant, ideas
4Low
Songs for a Dead Pilot

A ghost haunting a barren winter landscape for music that makes you feel physically cold
5Yo La Tengo
And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Ou

A calm image of a pleasant night with something curiously amiss
6New Order
Low-Life

Putting the image of the drummer on the front cover seems like an odd choice, but it works perfectly here
7Smashing Pumpkins
Siamese Dream

Bliss
8Sonic Youth
Murray Street

Just a cool image that fits the relaxed, jam-heavy compositions
9Silversun Pickups
Neck of the Woods

A daunting image for the great electro-pop album Neck of the Woods unfortunately was not
10The Strokes
Is This It

Way better than the American version
11 Sigur Ros
?g?tis Byrjun
12White Lies
Big TV
13Bob Dylan
Oh Mercy
14The Beatles
Abbey Road
15Red Hot Chili Peppers
One Hot Minute

Great art for an underrated album.
16Interpol
Our Love to Admire

The cover art is unfortunately the best part of this album
17 Destroyer
Destroyer's Rubies
18TV On the Radio
Nine Types of Light

Daydream Nation

The Velvet Underground & Nico
