Tadaah! I went for a bit of a weird mix here, but I love them all - especially the "kitsch" factor there is to someBig smile

The Battiato cover is obviously my favourite of these.

Aluk Todolo- Occult Rock. I have no idea who or what that is but I love the bleak artwork.

I think I like the Camera art work best, even though I don't know who that is.

I certainly like the Frankie Battery cover too, which always intrigued me with its Lemon-Peel-Bolted-Into-The-Ground-Signifying-Man's-Uncool-Treatment-of-Nature or something like that.

alrune rod looks to be the one for me even though i haven't heard it before at all. Diamond Dogs looks kind of too weird for me. and where's Chunga's Revenge?!

Some very weird covers here David. I went with that psychedelic cover from Alrune Rod.

Battiato, of course - great artwork, and the music is none too shabby either!

choice should have been Sulle Corde di Aries which has my favorite cover, and source of endless numbers of questions as to what the HELL that is on various non-prog forums I use that as an avatar for.  Classic.

Hey Genesis bobble-head fan can vote their favorite even if they aren't anywhere close to being a good answer... it isn't his best.. but I'd flip and play for the other side for Battiato.. so Polution gets my vote on principal.

Opal is the obvious choice for me.

I didn't particularly like any of this, but the last one is the one that disturbs me the least.

The most disturbing thing about these selections is that the Sabbath cover is one of my favorites.  However, I had to vote for the imposing Aluk Todelo, an album I have never seen before and certainly have never heard.

Cosmic Ground for me. Makes me wanna scratch that band name, replace it with Félicité Thösz, place a K.A-like Magma-logo on the ground and voilà their last (slightly disappointing) album would atleast have a decent cover.

That's how I've always interpreted it myself. Battiato is actually one of the few cases (Lucio Battisti as well) where I'd like to know what he's singing about. For most other Italian artists I prefer the possibility of an omni-embracing lingo ie the words can mean just about everything, it just depends on my mood of the day.

I'm not sure what to vote for, but the Alrune Rod cover has always enticed me for obvious reasons (I like red).
