Favorite Album Covers

I know it's a single, but:

Very clever.
 
Haha. Are you joking? He did almost all of Pink Floyd's album covers. Basically, every iconic image you might associate with the band (except for The Wall) came from his brain.
 
I'm a pretty big fan of this. Simple yet sleek, cold yet raw, just like the album itself. The integration of the photo into the abstract design elements blows me away. Plus I have a soft spot for duotones, so I'm a little biased that way.

Well Pitchfork gave his first album a 9.4 out 10, NME gave it a 9 out of 10 and Robert Christgau gave it an A- so I'd say he was pretty well received, at least when he started out. As I mentioned before I'm only really into his earlier stuff, which was grimier. On his later stuff he sounRAB too much like he's trying to sound like an American rapper.

The point I was making to you really has nothing to do with Dizzee Rascal though, I was just using him as an example because he's someone fairly current who you don't like. There have been a bunch times that you have expressed surprise at me knocking banRAB or albums that you think of as classics. I was just making a point about the nature of those kinRAB of albums. At one time those Smashing Pumpkins, Soundgarden, etc. albums were current and I wasn't into them. I'm still not into them but now they're considered classics by some people. I'm sure you'll have the same experience eventually, whether with Dizzee Rascal or with someone else, and it will be surreal for you then just like it's surreal for me now.
