Boston

It's a space ship that looks like a guitar. This was awsome in 1976.

Bitches Brew

Even though a lot of Miles Davis fans don't like this album, you have to admit it has a pretty awesome cover.

Electric Warrior

The cover displays that electric quality with the yellow around the main image of Marc Bolan playing those gritty boogeying beats.

Gaz nailed it. Well "In any genre, from any period" is a great comment to make to people, but apparently they ignored it and just added their favorite old albums that everyone knows about. A lot of these are great, but I think some people here need musical awakenings. How about Bill Frisell's "Blues Dream", an ominous thought-provoking scene, or his "Gone, Like a Train" featuring Jim Woodring's artwork? Two excellent album arts, completely looked over because no one goes past the top 40. It definitely could have replaced some undeserving ones on this list. Oh, and his music is excellent as well. Wake up, people.
