Unknown Pleasures

Unknown Pleasures Cover

From The Mirror (it was them or The Sun)

Fans have named Joy Division’s Unknown Pleasures as the most iconic album cover of all time.

The “pulses” design by artist Peter Saville topped a poll which included the Beatles and Pink Floyd.

And like so much else that came out of Factory Records looked great. I really love the original 12″ sleeve for Blue Monday.

The list includes Sgt Peppers, Dark Side of the Moon, The Stone Roses (guitarist John Squire is now an artist), Abbey Road, Ziggy Stardust and Never Mind the Bollocks.

From my own collection, I’d have the following in there.

Any favourites out there?

Rio: Duran Duran

Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space

Prince - Sign ‘O’ The Times
