Pink Floyd

Had you read my first post carefully, you've probably seen this coming. Before you get pissed off at me, Pink Floyd is one of the best bands to come from Britain. Knowing who they have to compete with, that is one helluvan achievement. But one thing they had always really good at was making covers that had nothing to do with the album title.

Yes. I agree that The Wall could not have been more literal



And that the cover for A Momentary Lapse Of Reason has at least something to do with the title, showing just how bad having a sticky "1" key on the keyboard can really be.

"The 11111 beds he ended up ordering were so expensive he had to sell his house"

But for the rest of them, you really can't say any of that.
For example, the heart of a cow is definitely not the size of a fucking atom, so why call an album Atom Heart Mother and put a picture of a cow on the front cover...




...the back cover,...



...AND the disc itself?


"Moo!" ("WTF!" in Cowish)

Similarly, while the cover for Dark Side Of The Moon is about as recognisable as fucking Mona Lisa, it has Absolutely nothing to do with the album title, but appears on both sides.





Long before the album was released, scientists had already taken a photo of the dark side of the moon, and it's much more boring. Even more than Us And Them.

The cover for Piper At The Gates Of Dawn is just uninspired,


and doesn't even show a piper, the A Saucerful Of Secrets cover seems to be more like what puke looks like while you're on LSD,



And the cover for Obscured By Clouds looks like... Hell! I have no idea what it looks like! Anything that isn't clouds or being obscured by them. That's for certain.


If I follow their logic, here's the cover for my upcoming album: Memoirs Of A Carrot


And the following album: The Flaming Printer Of Time


And my masterpiece: 12/21/2012
