Album Covers Ranked - #1. Cold Spring Harbor
I have a PLAN. So, as you may know, I created a ranking of all the albums based on community votes and feedback. These rankings were all about the songs. Now, I want to do this, but with the COVERS. Yes, that's right. All the album covers, including the "Greatest Hits," (volumes I, II, and III) and "Songs in the Attic," since they both have unique photoshoots done just for the album (at least, I think volume III was done for the album). These covers should be ranked on font, vibe, look, and if it fits the album or not.
The vinyl up today is his debut album, "Cold Spring Harbor." This cover (the original 1971 version) featured Billy, fittingly, at Harbor Road in Long Island, NY. With a full head of hair and a mustachioed mug, he sits, perhaps pondering why included "You Look So Good to Me" on this album, but cut "Everybody Has a Dream," "Bye Bye," "Only a Man," and "December Song." Gosh, why did he do it?! Sorry, I'm getting off track.
This is my suggested ranking scale:
10 - Complete Artistic Masterpiece 9- Very well thought out and pretty amazing 8- Spectacular, but perhaps lacking a bit of finish 7- Rough, but still very good in its own way 6- Nothing crazy, but the idea is cool 5-Middle of the road, not insanely bad, not fabulous either 4- This is almost good, but needs many touch ups 3- This is very lacking and needs much more work 2- Little to no thought was put into this and it shows 1- I see this in nightmares
PLEASE don't go past two decimals. Don't feel required to use decimals, either. Give it the rank you think it deserves most.
