All this Hits are for Squares talk has got me thinking about doing my mate a SY 'best of' cd
But which album cover artwork is your favourite? Apart from SYR1-5 i dont think they have good covers really. Goo was pretty good and NYC Ghosts and Flowers is ok but Dirty, Washing Machine, Rather Ripped, Sister all of them seem pretty bad to me whatdoyouthink? |

They all rule and all need to be seen in (what is my favorite new word kids?) CONTEXT, like all art.
The first SY EP has a fucking great cover confusion is Sex is a fucking scary evil cover to suit the manic crawls of a madman contained there in bad moon rising is a FUCKING AWESOME COVER, perfectly menacing and american in every way Daydream nation is GORGEOUS. beautiful cover. perfectly fits the mood of the mnusic within and the ideas within Goo I fucking love as a cover because it is like the next step up from the CIS cover. it still looks like an insane man drew it, but he has gotten some psych help and is doing better Dirty has a fucking awesome cover, which I think is a very funny metaphor for the childishness and the refusal to grow up that is evident in much of the day's "grunge" music EJST&NS - sucks. Washing machine is a fucking awesome cover. I love the looks I get when people see me with that shirt on and wonder why a grown ass man has a drawing of an appliance on a shirt NYCG&F is a BEAUTIFUL cover, and perfectly suits the disconnected fragmebnted music within Murray street - meh Sonic Nurse is a fucking great cover, maybe their best cover in my eyes rather ripped I like a lot too, just graphic strete art type. not to great but allright.
