Think of one of your favourite albums from high school. When you hear ‘Track 2’ can you recall the song? Can you remember any details about the album art?
When talking about this with friends, they agreed that it is far easier to remember details of albums you used to listen to on CD or vinyl before the digital music revolution. There are many reasons, ranging from lack of album art from downloads to even putting your iPod on shuffle, or not uploading entire albums.
But one thing hasn’t changed - artists are still putting time and effort into album design and art. In fact, with vinyl sales on the up and up, more people are getting the chance to enjoy the beauty of larger format album art and the great experience of listening to an album from start to finish. This leads me to wonder:
When you think of you music collection, what album covers are extremely memorable?
WHAT CANADIAN ALBUM COVERS ARE YOUR FAVOURITES?
