But then on the other hand, there have been some really monumentally cultural defining record covers in the last fifty years. You know what I mean? Like it or not, the cover to Sgt.

The same can also be said of the cover of Nevermind, whether intentional or not.

We had a HUGE discussion about this a few months ago and it all started on a thread about iPods. One of the arguments against iPods hinged on the idea that record covers were an important part of the musical experience, but some disagreed and a debate broke out. Maybe I should make a thread about iPods.....
