Album Cover Art

[cholas]

As I'm listening to Bob Marley's Confrontation album(1983), I'm also being entertained(once again) by the cover art. It's kind of a Rasta version of the St Geoge(?) slaying the Dragon theme. Bob on the white horse, lance in hand. Very revealing. Not to mention the songs themselves.....

I'm wondering how many other musicians used album art as a hint to their deeper intentions such as this?

Thom Yorke's album Eraser has a fabulous woodcut series done by Stanley Donwood called London Views. This has Big Ben MI6 headquarters and Battersea power station floating down the Thames.

I have a couple of the concertina fold outs of the series sitting in a frame at home.
