The Cowlcha Show is running a poll to find the greatest British design classic. There are two album covers on their list: Sgt Pepper (uncontroversial) and, er Power Corruption and Lies. Power Corruption of Lies?! Surely we can come up with some better examples than that? |

Yeah, I saw that. Quick posting there Howdy. I too was a bit baffled about those two choices. Which covers would you have put instead then? |

Pick any of the Smiths, particularly Handsome Devil, if singles are allowed. |

I always felt the Smiths covers (singles and albums alike) were a bit bog-standard. Take a still from an obscure, arty movie, add a colour-wash, and hey-presto! I don't think any of them have the iconic status of, say, Never Mind the Bollocks, which I would have as a candidate. |

Well if you're going down the sexual ambiguity route Suedes first album deserves a mention perhaps: [img] http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B0 ... ZZZZZZ.jpg[/img] |
