What Are Your Favorite Classic Rock Album Covers

Yesterday, the cover of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club was chosen by I-95 listeners as their favorite of the five, what album cover will make it into the Final Round today? It's Day Two of our poll concerning classic rock album covers! Here's five more to choose from!

We all remember our favorite album covers! Way back when, they meant a lot!

You’d sit there listening to one of your favorite vinyl albums, holding that big album cover in your hands, reading every word on the back of it, and admiring the picture on the cover!

Maybe it was a painting or a drawing of some sort, maybe it was the artists themselves! More often than not, the art work on the cover added to the “concept” of the album and to the music itself.

But, what was your favorite album cover? The one that was the most memorable to you!

I’ll feature 5 classic rock album covers every day this week. I-95 listeners can vote for their favorite of the five, and each daily winner will go into the FINAL ROUND this weekend!

So, please vote for today’s selections, and if you have a suggestion for a favorite classic rock album cover – then by all means lay it on me! Call me in the studio at 991-9713 or hit me up at I95Rocks on our Facebook page!
