The art album is inseparably linked to our collective musical memories. When you think of your favorite albums, you imagine their covers. Many photographers, illustrators, and art directors have become famous from their work in music — the best examples will remain in history as permanent elements of popular culture. Rock Covers offers you a collection of more than 750 striking album covers, from legendary to rare. Artists such as Elvis Presley, the Beatles, the Sex Pistols, Pink Floyd, The Cure, Iron Maiden, and Sonic Youth are brought together in a celebration of cover art that defined their albums and culture. Each cover is accompanied by a listing of information that includes the art director, photographer, or illustrator, year, record label, and more, while nearly 250 records that marked significant turning points for a band, an artist, or music genre are highlighted with short descriptions. This extensive record of visual rock is accompanied by interviews with five professionals who shaped the history of rock and by top 10 record lists from ten leading rock collectors.
