your favourite SY album cover?
 
mine is Sonic Nurse.

in fact, i urge people to check out the entire Nurse Paitings collection by Richard Prince. it's simply astounding. my favourite art series ever.

the nurse paintings are great.

bad moon rising's sleeve is ridiculously evocative of the music inside. love it.

and um i guess it's a way typical choice but i love goo, too. i go for that iconic shit.

greenlight 03.30.2010 10:31 AM

goo's fantastic, so nurse is.

Count Mecha 03.30.2010 11:09 AM

The ones I've been most fond of are Bad Moon Rising, EVOL, and Daydream Nation. I don't think too much about the rest, maybe Goo, that one is good.

But my favorite cover of there's overall that I can recall is the Death Valley '69 single.

Nurse is the best

mil_pl 03.30.2010 12:44 PM

easy,
I have two awesome covers that are my favourites,
so it is sonic nurse,
as well as a thousand leaves.
on the last but not least would be nyc gf.
hmm but when I think more I love the dirty one too, which is very sentimental album to me.
and murray street is fine. neat photo with nice spot on type.

EVOLghost 03.30.2010 01:26 PM

ACtually I really....really....like the Eternal. The next may be Daydream.

stadtgorilla 03.30.2010 02:14 PM

in terms of iconic value, i'd go for evol or ddn, because those covers drew me in. the cover i love the most....i guess it's bad moon rising.

ann ashtray 03.30.2010 02:42 PM

I can't pick just one.

Bad Moon Rising
A Thousand Leaves
EVOL
Nurse
The Eternal

My top five.

Jeremy 03.30.2010 07:10 PM

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Sister yet. LOVE LOVE LOVE that album cover.

Second would probably be Bad Moon Rising, then The Eternal. NYC Ghosts and Flowers is pretty sweet as well.

I have the EVOL cover on a T-shirt. I like to see people asking themselves, 'what the hell is that?'

chicka 03.31.2010 02:41 PM

I like all the sleeves I got with this CD but this one is my favorite:

yup.

that and confusion is sex. i think some of the later ones are worserer.

Mortte Jousimo 04.01.2010 01:46 AM

Mine is "Bad Moon Rising" absolutely. "Murray Street" and "Daydream Nation" is also very good covers. And I like also very much the picture of desert in "Made in Usa".

musefreek 04.01.2010 12:34 PM

i bought something very special today! i bought the richard prince: nurse paintings catalogue. this is EXTREMELY rare, and as such i paid £400 for it. it's my favourite ever art series, so the cost is justified.

here's a couple of pics which you'll recognize as used on sonic nurse.
