George Straight- Livin' It up

Found this ripped out of a magazine in a recycling bin on the street freshman year of college and we hung it up and made it our motto for the year

Any pink floyd album art, specifically the "wish you were here," album, just because of what it says. Sublimes album art is also pretty cool as well as Megadeths and metallica's stuff.

Hands fucking down, Evil Friends wins the contest. The LP is nice just to have as a piece of art, honestly.

any art by Storm Thorgerson (the dude who did basically all the Pink Floyd stuff, among many others) gets my vote:



i always thought this was cool too, so much going on, and it fits the music really well



i'm sure i'll think of more as the thread continues

I agree 100%. Their music matches their covers to a T.

Like the psychedelic vibe. Didn’t really like the drummer though but honestly they are really good and I would buy some of their songs.
