I wouldn't go that far, by any means. But it is probably their only cover that looks better in the CD booklet configuration--the LP cover cuts off more of the teenagers' heads--you just see their chins (if any of this actually matters--probably doesn't--the music is what it's really all about).

Oh my. The "open face sandwich club"?

Green Mind was taken in the 60's, so technically she's like 50.

EVOL is the best cover in my opinion... i'm not sure of a worst, a few come to mind.

worst album cover ever
Thought so back in the day think so now

even the worst cover sonic youth have ever put out is a million times better than that piece of garbage

i like the washing machine, but i dislike the kids, it would be great if it was just the machine

as far as sonic youth covers go, I like them all. The one I like least though is the cover for EJST&NS

The fuck?! One of my favourites, Burroughs is the man.
My least favourite, visually AND musically, is Washing Machine. The EP's art is pretty bland, but it's a fucking great album (and a great reissue, regardless of what others say!)
EJSTANS is pretty boriung as well, but I like the switchable format. I have it on the black/kitty-cat right now, in the past it's been the horse and the one with the 45's and candy.

am i the only one who doesn't like the DDN cover.

Yes.

oh.

yes you are

Richter rules.

I love having all my albums on display because I really like all their covers. I'd say my least favorite would be Goo. It seems a little phony to me... as if they were trying to impress because they just started with Geffen. Plus, all the pictures of themselves inside, it's kind of like "take my picture for myspace!!" if it existed.

i dont agree with your opinion of goo, love the art on the cover, and love seeing them have a bit of fun with the photography! What the hell, we all need to have a laugh once in a while eh?
As for my least favourite album cover, it would have to be nyc ghosts and flowers, was really let down when i saw it, not by the music though
My favourite is EVOL hands down!

Rather Ripped, Experimental Jet Set, and A Thousand Leaves.

Raymond Pettibon art ain't phoney.

AUUGH! Nooo! All you haters!
