Album Covers featuring Yawnsomely Literal Cover Art in regards to said album's title.

lol

a lot of the "on the rocks" albums—and there are a lot—are pretty bad but not nec yawnsomely literal.

i would like them to be standing on surfboards on top of those rocks please

the cover for wailing souls' on the rocks has me confused, however.

uh, fellas, that's hay

Bit late here, but: a flute is not a horn, Jim.

how bout we change it to wailing souls hit the hay? no?

Jim's Horns and also Jim's Flute

"On the Bales"

Jim's Winds

Anyone remember the one season mid-70s US television show On the Rocks?

Would shop at Jim's Winds for sure

wailing souls cover reminds me when my wife and i were looking to get some hay bales for a halloween party. her country-fried coworker says "you don't want hay you want straw-hay. hay-hay's got chopped up snakes and shit in there." i think of this at least a few times a year.

the lesson: ask for straw hay, people.

I'm very anxious about getting The Surfers double bass back to shore without salt water damage.

My computer might explode if I open all messages but was it this thread that had a big exploration of "Many Moods Of..." albums?

^ Albums covers that depict the artists hanging out with their clones?

Cool thread.

Rush, "Moving Pictures"

That one has always felt super corny to me because of the triple pun.

At the last minute, the art director got worried this wasn't obvious enough, so added some Bound Hands for contrast.

Has been posted before tbh.

John Mayall, "Looking Back"

The High Level Ranters, "Four in a Bar" (which I'm assuming is a musical pun, which makes it even better)

https://img.discogs.com/yHugEgrnlQpPD2HsPcnhitnLqf4=/fit-in/500x500/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-2960386-1309261187.jpeg.jpg

... those two covers go nicely together.

I've never contributed anything here but this might be the most consistently satisfying thread I know of. Bless you all.

This one's probably a bit subtle for this thread but I like it...

It just hit me that this "iconic" album title and cover is actually horribly unimaginative, literally named after the fucking recording studio and the cover is just them walking on a road. It's not far off from calling a song "Untitled Original." Still one of my favorite records of all time.
