Chop Chop ain't too shabby
We're running an essay contest on this very subject at KungFuNation.com

Please continue the discussion here but we'd like to invite you to send an email/essay about your opinions regarding the best SY LP cover and maybe win some merchandise.

We're also collecting photos of people wearing t-shirts they purchased from Kung Fu but even if you didn't buy your SY shirt from us, we'll still give you a discount code for sending a photo and some free merchandise if we use it on the site.

Thanks all!

Halloween has a couple of kiss-ass net friends
Bad Moon Rising will always be my favourite, although there is something about the Daydream Nation cover I get a strange feeling about, like staring at the cover while listening to Teen Age Riot. I get the same feeling from staring at Washing Machine while listening to Junkie's Promise. Btw, does anybody have a 1024x768 or larger wallpaper of the Bad Moon Rising Cover?

I've always HATED the cover of Washing Machine!!! I think if the band just opted for the plain blue background with the cartoon washing machine on it, the album cover would look much better. The one with the two dorky kids with the tshirts looks horrible. I've always liked EVOL, Daydream Nation and Murray Street. Although I really like Sister, NYC Ghosts & Flowers and Sonic Nurse. But I don't know which is my favorite. It's kinda hard to figure that out.

I love all the Psychic Hearts artwork. Especially the cover. Also Sonic Nurse; very Silent Hillish. The Confusion is Sex cover is what I think of when I think Sonic Youth. And then the back of EJS is really cool. The back, not the front. Though I don't mind the front as some people do.

i like rather ripped cover the least (LP is nicer than CD cover but still does not appeal to me)

A Thousand Leaves is my favourite, definitely. I pretty much like them all except Rather Ripped. Dirty and Experimental Jet Set are cool.

With Experimental Jet Set you also have the choice of covers,right?

Ya I've thought about that. Some of the choices in there are pretty good. But I dont like changing it for some reason...It's not "official."

I've been known to have swapped the official cover for one of the alternative ones because they appealed to me more.I know what you mean though about not feeling comfortable with looking at an album that doesn't sport an ''official'' look.

oh fuck, i meant to say Sister and ATL are my joint favourites.. Sister cover is awesome... it looks like a series of clues to some esoteric 5pm summer's day conspiracy
