BARE cover arts

[R]

Let's post some good albums that covers contain NUDITY.

I'll start...


...with Bauhaus In The Flat Field

You probably already know this cornerstone to gothic rock and post-punk. If not, then go now and listen, it's almost 40 year old, but did not lost a bit of it's energy and charm.

The cover photo was taken by Duane Michals, and is "Homage to Puvis de Chavannes"






Xiu Xiu - A Promise

Always when listen to Xiu Xiu I can't state wheather I like it or not. All albums are agressive an filthy, Jamie Stewart, the head of the band sounds as if he is beeing tortured and forced to sing...

The cover art was taken by the frontman, and shows a gay prostitute met in Vietnam. Actual release was censured with red rectangle.

Not the most accesable album, but still worth checking out.



The History of Flesh by Zachariah Holte

By many told to be the worst album that came out last year.
It probably is one of the strangest albums, with its eerie lyrics and unusual instruments.
I would recommend listening only when you like very obscure music.

The cover shows the musician.

Not my favorite album, but it does have an interesting cover.

[N.M.S.]

The first cover I posted is Nirvana's Nevermind. Love that album.

The second is an album by Candlemass called As it is, As it Was. Just a "best of" but still thought it was worth sharing. Definitely an awesome and very underrated band in my opinion.

[Nudielad]

One of my all time favorite albums, Beyond the Veil by Norwegian metal band Tristania.

[Maverick]

I've come across a few:


Hemispheres by Rush (sort of the left-brain/right-brain stuff going on) -- one of my favorite albums as well


Making Contact by UFO


Going for the One by Yes


Although not an album cover, women bodypainted to look like Pink Floyd album covers


"Bicycle Race" poster insert in Queen's Jazz album

Cover of Ladyhawk's self titled album

   

Diamonds on the Inside - Ben Harper



Mayf Nutter - Goin' Skinny Dippin'



I get pretty good laugh from the title song



edit: I only bothered recently to check recently the artwork for Ladyhawk is for a Canada band spelt without an E as opposed to the New Zealand born artist Ladyhawke who I mistook that artwork as belonging to.

The cover for Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust by Sigur Rós. Complimented by that great video for Gobbledigook.
