What makes a perfect album is highly subjective, and sometimes, we might not even be able to articulate what it is about a piece of music that speaks to us. Oftentimes, an amazing song or album just does. We don’t have to over analyze it. But it’s a little bit easier to dissect album cover art. Personally, I tend to dissociate the cover photo from the music itself. I can love an album and think nothing of the photo or love a photo and be disappointed in the music. But when they come together to perfectly compliment one another, it makes the record a true masterpiece.
The Images That Could Be Album Covers Instagram account shares photos that could fit any genre of music, yet they all would work perfectly as album artwork. I can imagine stumbling upon any one of them while flipping through records at a vinyl shop, and clearly, they’ve mastered the art of album photos, as the page has amassed an impressive 102k followers through sharing only 452 posts. Whether you love rock, metal, indie, country, rap, classical or pop music, you’re sure to find something that you could see your favorite band releasing!

Regardless of what your personal favorite style of music is, there are certain album covers out there that almost anyone will recognize: The Beatles’ ‘Abbey Road’; Andy Warhol’s famous, vibrant banana on ‘The Velvet Underground & Nico’, that naked baby featured on Nirvana’s ‘Nevermind’, and Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Rumours’. But of course, there are plenty more iconic album covers out there.
According to Billboard’s list of the greatest album covers of all time, nothing tops ‘The Velvet Underground & Nico’. But not far behind are Patti Smith’s ‘Horses’, Led Zeppelin’s self-titled album, Pink Floyd’s ‘Dark Side of the Moon’, Elvis Presley’s self-titled album, The Beatles’ ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’, and Joy Division’s ‘Unknown Pleasures’. Not only are these all excellent albums, their cover images perfectly encapsulate the music they represent, and it doesn’t hurt that they’re also great for posters, t-shirts and other merchandise.
