Rolling Stones - Some Girls.
Not really a fan of the band, but the Supertramp "Breakfast in America" album cover is pretty cool.

Watch the end of the movie Pirate Radio. They roll through a bunch of very cool album covers.

I bought lithographs of every Stones album cover years ago. Most of them are rolled up in tubes in storage, but Some Girls and Sticky Fingers are both framed and hanging in my home.

On the topic of The Stones, it's hard not to throw this guy into the mix.

Anything from Roger Dean will enhance the mood in every bedroom.

Mother's Finest. Everyone remembers the album cover. No one remembers the music.

So this is kind of a cool thing I'm sharing with my 14 year old son. He started playing guitar about 6 months ago (taking weekly lessons from a guy who has his own metal band), and has become fascinated with classic rock. He wants to now change his bedroom from its current Penn State sports theme that he's had since like age 8 to a classic rock theme. We've decided to cover the walls with rock album covers and hang his guitars on the wall.

So, I brought all of my old LPs up from the basement for him to go through. We're looking to mount about 40. I found these really cool LP mounting brackets that allow you to slide them in and out for interchangeability. So far, he picked out the following albums (based either on his familiarity with the band, the songs on the album, or the artwork):

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
The Knack - Get the Knack
John Lennon - Imagine
Doors -LA Woman
REO Speedwagon - High Infedelity
Supertramp - Breakfast in America
The J. Gells Band - Freeze Frame
Springsteen - Born in the USA
Van Morrison - Live
Meat Loaf - Bat out of Hell
ELO - Discovery
Beatles - Meet the Beatles
Steely Dan - Can't Buy a Thrill
The Alan Parsons Project - The Turn of a Friendly Card
The Doobie Brothers - The Captain and Me
Kansas - Leftoverture
Beatles - Let it Be
The Steve Miller Band - Book of Dreams
Kansas - Point of No Return
AC DC - High Voltage
Fleetwood Mac - Fleetwood Mac
ZZ Top - Eliminator
Asia- Asia
Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms
Boston - Boston
Rush -2112
Beach Boys -Endless Summer
Beatles - Yellow Submarine
Eagles - Hotel California

We're planning to hit some vintage record shops to scout out for more so he can change them out periodically. Interested in your suggestions for cool album artwork that we should look for.

Gotta have "Who's Next" on the wall
That was the album cover with a shot of members of The Who as if they had just peed on some concrete slab. Or, Who By Numbers is a neat album cover

Definitely need a Led Zeppelin cover on that wall.
