Guess that needs to be bigger, but it is the only one I happened to have saved...I used to use it as an avatar.

TOTO's "Absolutely live".

Brilliant image.

I also like most of the covers of YES's albums...Fragile,Tarkus,Elephant.

In the same category is Journey's Trial By Fire cover.Eeerie and beautiful at the same time.

The 4 Kiss solo albums are up there for me.

This for obvious reasons :wink:

but this caught my eye some time back, bought it just for the cover...embossed image, great piece for the collection and I'm sure it came in a variety of covers, doubt you had it in the states though!

as for others, everything by Rush, the masters of cover art

by **Carlitto H@kk** » Wed Aug 23, 2006 7:05 am

Holy Crap! How could I forget Maiden!!! Just about ALL there covers are great but this is my fave

I've always liked the front and back to Styx's Paradise Theater album. Goes great with the songs.

What's the meaning behind 11th House?

....how much time you got? LOL :wink:

OK..seriously:

"11th House" is a term used in astrology, which I was very heavily into; doing people's charts and things. There's 12 "Houses" in a person's chart (just imagine a pizza cut into 12 pieces - each piece is called a "House") and they all represent different things.

Well, the "11th House" represents Hopes, Wishes, Dreams, and Friends - and my song is autobiographical; it talks about how those things kind of "turned on me" in 2001-2002...I put too much stock in those things, when they should've been put elsewhere.

To me, the picture represents what I was going thru at that time...like I was living in my "perfect little world" in the little house (note the white picket fence AND the 1950s-style ANTENNA....like something out of "Father Knows Best") when the real world and its real problems were LITERALLY LOOMING RIGHT OUTSIDE...but I chose not to see them.
