Dark Studio Dark Robbery-torrent.100
Matt Dreher
On an album that made a mad dash through the whole of pop history, Nick Lowe pictured himself in a bunch of different guises, from rockabilly hoodlum to sensitive balladeer (there were different pics on the US and UK versions), all with tongue firmly in cheek.
It was weird, it was witty, it was Warhol. The famous minimalism of The Velvet Underground & Nico peel-away banana album cover became an influence on punk visual style many years later and remains one of the greatest album covers.
Arriving one year after his milestone album The Payback, Brown delivered the double-album Hell, which called out societal ills both on record and on the elaborately illustrated cover. Designed by artist Joe Belt, who made his name capturing the characters of the Wild West, Belt trained his aim on another dark chapter of American history, depicting fallen soldiers, addicts, and an imprisoned populace. One of the most famous funk album covers ever.
Robert Fripp saw this dramatic painting after In the Court of the Crimson King was completed and knew it perfectly suited the music, with the crazed cover figure as the 21st century schizoid man. Sadly, the artist passed away only months afterwards.
Ultra-cool Elvis (in his shiny gold Nudie suit) gets multiplied in one of the most enduring early 60s images and greatest album covers. If there are that many Elvis fans, we will, of course, need 15 Elvises.
Okay, so it was a little graphic and provocative, but as the single most controversial thing The Beatles ever did (and the most expensive for an original), the cover of Yesterday and Today surely earns a place on a list of the greatest album covers.
With all four bandmembers together in a bathtub, the cover said more about The Mamas & The Papas than what was probably intended. The toilet on the original cover of If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears also proved to be a no-no in 1966.
This album cover was more of a multimedia assemblage, incorporating the die-cut edges and the marble-swirled disc into the overall design and giving an instant visual image to the top-hatted Dave Mason.
Like all goth-influenced artists, Chelsea Wolfe has a strong sense of the dramatic. The coiled-up body on the cover of her 2017 album embodies all the personal changes the songs deal with.
This iconic album cover said it all about coy mid-60s sexuality, bachelor-pad style. Despite its daring appearance, if you looked closely, the whipped-cream clad model was actually wearing a wedding dress.
Finding album art that captured the genre-pushing ambition of To Pimp A Butterfly was a tall order, but Kendrick Lamar and TDE were up to the task, as K dot assembled his hometown crew for a victorious party on the White House lawn, stomping on the symbol of a weaponized criminal justice system.
Kiss Alive 1 captured the raw live energy deffo should have been there.
Also Alice Cooper Billion Dollar Babies snakeskin wallet cover or the Schools Out School desk cover one of these should be there
Those are all iconic albums(or most of them anyway)but not necessarily iconic album covers. However, when an album itself becomes iconic(for example Close to the Edge by Yes)then usually the cover becomes iconic too. Not always but a lot of the time.
Disappointed but not surprised to see no Iron Maiden or Megadeth covers in there. I think Adam Ant (and the Ants) should be included as well. Adam created some of the most iconic visuals in musical history.
This list is so lame! A lot of good covers here from good albums. But so many are so lame, even stuff that I like! There are better Zeppelin covers, and I would think at least 1 from the Moody Blues would be on here! Really? Who made this list? Would be nice to actually officially credit them too!
KISS DESTROYER, KISS LOVE GUN, KISS HOTTER THAN HELL, NINE INCH NAILS DOWNWARD SPIRAL, NIRVANA IN UTERO, METALLICA LOAD, NAZARETH HAIR OF THE DOG, AC/DC HIGHWAY TO HELL, DANZIG DEMONSWEATLIVE, QUEEN NEWS OF THE WORLD
To stand out from the rest of the artists that exist in the market, we must use a good marketing strategy. For this reason, it is convenient that our disc is well formatted. Luckily we have professional companies that do this work for us. What we must do is address them.
We all have some personal favorite sports movies out there, but we have to be objective and find what truly makes a great sports film. Some are sports comedy movies that make us laugh, while others hope to inspire and lift up those of us who may be down in the dumps.
Other sports movies take a look at the dark side of professional sports while others are coming of age tales that use sports to evoke a sense of childhood wonder and nostalgia. Some even jump into the behind the scenes world of sports focusing on deal making and sports agents.
The rookie who pushes Tom Selleck's character off the Yankees roster was played by Frank Thomas, who went on to become one of the best MLB hitters in the 1990s. He won two MVP awards and was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2014.
Burt Reynolds was quoted as saying that late director Robert Aldrich deliberately framed and shot the film in 1.33:1 Academy aspect ratio (with the intent that it would be matted theatrically for 1.85:1) because prophetically Aldrich didn't want to see his vision later manipulated for TV screens by panning and scanning.
After financing fell through shortly before the movie was set to begin shooting filmmaker John Sayles, whom director Karyn Kusama had worked for as an assistant, stepped forward and provided the funding for the entire film.
The director wanted Lea Thompson and Tom Cruise to go undercover to remember what high school was like. They went to separate schools, and while Cruise was spotted after just one day because someone recognized him from Taps (1981), Thompson went four days, was asked out by many guys and got caught smoking.
When Quinton Aaron auditioned for the film, he was working as a security guard between acting gigs. After his audition, he left a card with his contact information and offered to work as a security guard on the set in case he wasn't selected to play Michael Oher.
David Piper lost his leg because of a deep cut caused during a crash. Brake fluid and other debris got into the deep cut, which caused an infection and the need to amputate the leg. He received a special thanks "for his sacrifice" at the end credits.
This sports movie tries to walk the line between a serious examination of high school sports and the pressures it creates along side whipped cream bikinis and stripper english teachers. If you have a sense of humor and enjoy debauchery with your sports film, look no further.
Sometimes a good sports movie can be silly or downright impossible, and this particular sports film falls securely in this category. There is something to be said about the ending of the film, which illustrates how we learn about our parents as we go through life, and how those realizations make us stronger and better as human beings.
The Longest Yard is somehow a deeply profound and terribly shallow sports movie. The main character is self destructive and flawed to the core, and yet the viewer will often end up rooting for him until the very end. Is this sports film a commentary on the penal system or sports celebrity run amuck? Probably not, but it also seems to be something more than just some sort of shameless cash grab.
The Blind Side is a successful sports film because it spoke to a few key audiences and their life experiences. The fact that this happens to be based on a true story makes it even better, but the best part of the film is the story that occurs off the field and how important family can be.
This is a sports movie that takes the concept of Stand and Deliver or Dangerous Minds and shows how kids from the rough part of town can benefit from direction provided by sports and a role model. There are some powerful moments in the film and worth a watch.
The Rookie is one of the more inspirational sports movies that takes a true story and shows the journey of a high school teacher who never pursued his dream to play pro baseball. The movie is very good and it has a great performance from Dennis Quaid.
This sports movie accomplishes a bunch of really great things all at once. It shows how baseball culture became celebrity culture, served as a love letter to the glory years of the New York Yankees, and is a really strong character piece. A really great sports movie for sure.
This is a really strong sports movie that focuses on an entire team and the spirit of an entire school rather than a single athlete, which gives it a unique quality. The movie has some important lessons on bouncing back and rebuilding when it seems nothing will ever be the same again.
Breaking Away is a sports comedy movie that focuses on four guys who are just about to begin their young adult lives. The main character becomes obsessed with Italian culture and desires to be a championship cyclist. This sports film is a labor of love and a treasure.
The true story of a Philadelphia bartender who tries out for the Eagles and makes the team. This sports movie is inspirational, a bit dark, pretty funny, and has one of the more memorable moments where the main character carries around a hurtful note from his ex-wife. Classic Papale.
The Karate Kid is a classic film about bullying, growing up with a single mother, and learning self discipline. The movie is as much about anger and growing up as it is about anything else, which is one of the reasons the movie is so much more than a sports movie.
