Floyd are one of those bands to not only have a catalog of wonderful music, but to also have some pretty amazing album covers as well. Which is your favourite and which is your least favourite?

Messy and generally unremarkable...kind of like the album itself.

^ woah, amazingly bad.


Least fav is Final Cut'

Fav is Wish you Were Here which always drew me in, the emptiness behind the figures, and of course, the slight case of fire

Favorite: 'Relics'. 'More' would be my favorite image-wise, but it's hindered by the "soundtrack to the film etc." words and the EMI logo.

Least favorite: 'Delicate Sound Of Thunder'. The whole "ponder the meaning of this image" thing was getting out of hand at this point. That Masters Of Rock one is brutal, but in a craptastic sort of way. DSOT was just plain silly.

I like the More album cover as well - very psychedelic. Has anybody seen the movie? I still need to get around to it someday.

I've seen it. It's pretty shallow in my opinion. It's about a loser who loses it and eventually just loses. It's got an original plot, but no true aim, from where I'm standing. A lot of drugs in there. 

On the topic:

For the most favorite: I'm stumped a bit. Can't choose (unless I really have to choose if this is not a democratic regime we have here) between "Obscured by Clouds" and "A Saucerful of Secrets". 

Looks like God is planting the seeds of the planets in the universe (those orange round symbols), as the group sails away on the boat. And then there are bottles (of alcohol, I suppose) ... and the figures on the upper left corner and on the right side:


And then there is this blurry image of the silhouette of a tree against the background of the vanilla sky and orange sun. Very folky, somewhat atmospheric:


Least favorite:

It fits the concept, but it looks just as cold as the concept is. My least favorite, but still a favorite.

For my favourite
1/ DSOTM is beautifully simple.
2/ Saucerful is beautifully complicated
=3/ Ummagumma and Atom Heart Mother are amusing
 
Least favourite is
Wish You Were Here which I find totally boring and cannot understand why people like it. 
Meddle is the other Floyd cover I don't like.  It is unpleasant (slightly preferable to boring in this context).

That cover was for the the the most recent Floyd remasters campaign - Why Pink Floyd? Some covers were slightly modified such as this one and The Wall. The text on the cover of The Wall was changed to red from black and as for this cover, the text was completely taken out and there is obviously no black border surrounding.
