Suggest alternative artwork for Sonic Youth albums
 

Okay, you don't neccesarily have to dislike the album cover, but are there any images you've come across which you think would be more apt to suit the music on a particular Sonic Youth album?


Before anyone has any bright and clever ideas, let us get this out of the way:

RATHER RIPPED






Okay, now down to business, I think this Rauschenburg image would suit A Thousand Leaves very well. Partly becuase I've always thought the artwork for ATL pretty lame, and this peice, from his Whorefrost series (I beleive) is delicate, sensitive yet raw just like the album is for the most part.

I've always thought this would be a good cover for Bad Moon Rising:

Ha ha, where is that from Pookie?

Dodgy looking 90s metal band:

 

How dare they sully the name of such a fine song and album.

Weird. The artwork for A THOUSAND LEAVES is so fitting I think. I relate certain sounds to color. And that album is pink. I'm not being funny. I'm being serious.

Also. BAD MOON RISING and EVOL sport the 2 most awesome and fitting covers ever.

Synesthesia? My friends and I had a huge discussion about this the other day.
Pretty cooool.

the ATL artwork is certainly not weak. it's perfect.

I agree with atl artwork, also i like murray st which fits to music too.

yeah, mil's right. MURRAY ST's is perfect. As is NYCG&F.

And to go back to the first post, the RATHER RIPPED bashing is getting really old. Either say something new about the record, or go write for Pitchfork y'all.

this is not here :



and you are emo btw.

so true..

you sayin its 'THE SHIT'...? i personally think it's their weakest album ;P

No he's saying that... it's shit haha.


EVOL:

daydream nation cover

i think this thread is huh

like chocolate ice cream?

no
as in
"shit"

yeh yeh i know :P

I don't think This Is Not Here was saying Rather Ripped is a terrible album, he just posted that to get it out of the way, before anyone else could post something like that.

yeah I wasnt attacking This Is Not Here. I hope everyone knows that. I was attacking "trendy-sy-boarder-who-likes-to-diss-Rather-Ripped-to-prove-he-liked-Sonic-Death-when-you-were-still-in-short-pants"
