Research into iconic CD covers

To help in the production of our CD cover I have decided to do some research into iconic rock album covers. Listed below are a few iconic rock albums from over time.

Nirvana - Nevermind

With the same name as the song that we chose, Nevermind, the iconic album by former grunge band Nirvana is considered one of the most iconic album covers of all time. It is claimed that Kurt and the band came up with the idea after a conversation about water birth. 


GNR - Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses Album cover for Appetite For Destruction was banned due to it's graphic nature, it depicts a robot about to sexually assault a woman. It was subsequently changed to a picture of the 5 band members as skulls on a cross smiling.





AC/DC - If You Want Blood
The AC/DC album cover is fairly simple and simply shows a band member with a guitar through his chest accompanied by copious amounts of stage blood. The shot was taken during one of the bands live performances and is considered very iconic.
