I had a decidedly major shift in my music tastes in the late 60s. I would only listen to classical music up until my early twenties. Many of the albums I bought during this period were as much influenced by the cover as anything else. I would buy an album for its cover without having heard any of the music inside. It was always something of a revelation when the needle hit the first groove.

Pink Floyd had many Iconic covers, but this was the first album of theirs that I bought and it made me a huge fan. I lucked out and actually saw the first live performance of "The Wall" at the Los Angeles Sports Arena 0n February 7th 1980. Memorable for the fire that stopped the show which was caused by pyrotechnics set off at the close of the opening number.

I got to see Floyd in Cleveland Stadium in the early 80s.
The other feather in my cap was viewing "The Wall" in a theater when it was first released..

There's always that Nirvana album. Might be too controversial for here.

As much as I like Killing Joke, I'll be the first to admit that their album covers can be hit or miss. However, this cover has always been amazing to me.

The original Tea for the Tillerman album taught me to play guitar in 1971.

Baroness has awesome album covers that I most likely cannot post here due to rules against nudity.
