I've seen a bunch of comments asking about it, so here's an answer: I had never seen ARTV's videos before today. Just checked him out and he seems like a good guy. Fiverr must've contacted both of us at the same time about the redesigns and we both ended up making videos revolving around them. No big controversy. Watch his video, watch mine, watch both, doesn't matter lol. Have a happy Thanksgiving folks 💘

I’m pretty sure Abbey Road is the Beatles most iconic album cover, and one of the most imitated photos in music history.

Led Zeppelin 1's image of the Hindenburg crashing is legendary. Really set the tone for their discography

Every other artist: *_A R T_* Tyler the Creator: *-B U B B L E F O N T-*

"It's pretty much American Idiot for boomers." This is completely correct and I still hate it

The Madvillainy cover, iconic

Playboi cartis die lit album cover is the elvis presley album cover of the 2010s

The pet sounds cover is adorable. They're feeding goats and that's just wholesome.

Michael Jackson’s thriller is pretty iconic. I’d say the BAD album is too

“I could sit and find meaning in this image of a banana, but I’ll let it S L I D E for now”

Yo wheres In the Court of the Crimson King? That one of the most iconic album covers of all time

I feel like currents and ok computer definitely deserve a mention

I think Weezer’s Blue Album really fits this criteria. Those four boys on a solid color background is one of the most iconic album covers of all time. Wow!

The igor cover art is simplistic but yet so memorable and it suits the vibe of the album. Barely brought up in conversations about the album, yes I find it one of the (if not the) most iconic thing about the album.

tame impala’s covers are so gorgeous/amazing and perfectly represent the album titles

The cover for king crimson's debut album is one of my favourites. It captures the tone of the album and the band perfectly.

HOLY F I HAD NEVER NOTICED THAT LONDON CALLING WAS A PARODY OF "ELVIS PRESLEY" ! My life is a lie.

All of MJs album covers from Off the wall until blood on the dance floor are godlike, you cant go wrong with the king of pop

Demon Days, Wolf, Abbey Road, communist daughter, Random Access Memories, The Money Store, MBTF, Man on the moon, No Love Deep Web, Rolling Stone, Odd future tape v1 and 2, Cherry bomb, Plastic beach, The Magic Whip, Blur, To Pimp a Butterfly, Blonde, Death of a Bachelor, Pretty Odd, The Black Parade, American Idiot, Nevermind, Bizarre Ride II, Tribe Called Quest, Gorillaz, Discovery, Flowerboy, Graduation, College Dropout, DAMN., Yeezus, list can go on

I’d add the London Calling album cover, specifically in how it calls back to the Elvis Presley debut cover and flips it on its head with punk energy.

Demon Days by Gorillaz has a pretty iconic album cover imo. I mean pretty much all of Gorillaz' album covers are awesome and I love them but I can't deny that Demon Days is way more widely known than for example Plastic Beach.

Because The Internet cover was iconic the second it dropped, color palette is gasss

The Magdalene cover makes me extremely uncomfortable

Dude forgot “Demon Days” from Gorillaz.

Gosh, why don't we have more animated album covers considering most of us stream these days?

In the aeroplane over the sea

Not even two minutes in and we get Pet Sounds cover slander I expected better here 😔

Kid cudi's man on the moon is soooo good especially the expanded one

The reputation album cover is also one of my favs. There's a whole story behind it, every single detail is important.

The Stone Roses self-titled album is pretty iconic I feel.

Hang on, I'm 10 minutes in an Alfo video about albums and there's nothing about MBDTF. What's just happened?!?

loveless' cover is both "original" and "thematic", its probably the best album cover of all time

13:10 the figures who appear on the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover redesign are as follows: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band: John = Kanye West Ringo = Drake Paul = Taylor Swift George = Lil Nas X From Left to Right: 1. The Beatles (Headless) 2. Barack Obama 3. Beyonce 4. Bojack Horseman 5.

Yanis Varoufakis 28. Slavoj Zizek 29. Jamie Oliver 30. Kylie Jenner the redesign was created by TrippieSteff

I could honestly have watched an hour long video of this.

Even when I had no concept of Neutral Milk Hotel, the In the Aeroplane Over the Sea album cover really stuck itself in my head

another one of the most incredible album covers is King Crimson's debut album, "In the court of the crimson king". It definitely fits the music thematically, but it is incredibly abstract, especially for its time.

That to pimp a butterfly!!!

Fiverr literally sponsored the same video from ARTV. They didn’t even change the 12 chosen albums wtf

Kid A is my personal favourite

Bjork's "Post" is my favorite. It's so colorful and full of life

One of my favorite things about music honestly is the album covers...love the Video 🙌🏻

Some of my favorite album covers: Currents - Tame Impala Rodeo - Travis Scott Birds in the trap sing mcknight - Travis Scott Dark side of the moon . Pink Floyd In utero - Nirvana My dark beautiful twisted fantasy - Kanye West Kids see ghosts - Kanye West & Kid Cudi

Muse - Absolution album cover physically gives me chills

loveless by mbv. the album cover really visualizes the sounds in the album itself

The pet sounds cover is not that bad, my guy

Alfo: You have to come up with an image for your album, and it has to be super thoughtful The Beatles, Weezer, and Metallica: No

OutKast: “Stankonia” album is iconic

The re-imagined NWA album cover looks really good.

The OOZ has gotta be one of my favorites.

The Number of the Beast is the perfect example of a perfect album cover. Meaningful, beautiful, badass, and iconic. Holy Diver’s cover art is great too

Master of puppets cover has a lot of depth to it, and is one of the most recognized metal albums in all time

Unknown Pleasures is such a masterpiece in every single way it’s unbelievable to think it was both Joy Division’s debut and Peter Saville’s first album artwork

Gorillaz - Demon Days Who hasn't seen it?

I think the covers of Michael Jackson's "Bad", "HIStory", "Blood on the Dance Floor" and especially "Dangerous" are amazing covers that really stand out and are always overlooked.

I refuse to accept the fact that a punk band hasn’t used the falling man from 9/11 as an album cover

i loved the nirvana and purple rain design! but honestly all of them were so creative! I love the arts

London Calling by The Clash is also amazing.

Ween’s “The Mollusk” has pretty great album art, it perfectly captures what the album is

Really great video!! To me, album art is so important. If I’m searching for new music to listen to it it be online or at my local record shops, I always go for the ones with the album art that intrigues me the most and go from there. There’s so much cool story telling in album art. One of the main reasons I love buying albums is having the jacket of the album up close and seeing the story in your face.

Great video overall, just ooone thing missing... Where was Out of the Blue’s album cover from ELO, that spaceship is the definition of Mr. Blue Sky

10 years from now we will get a video about the most iconic YT thumbnails

I love the pet sounds cover actually lol

I think Iron Maiden's early 80's album covers should be mentioned since thousands of kids bought their music based on nothing but the art. Also if you've ever had a vinyl copy of Jethro Tulls' "Thick as a Brick" I'ts unforgettable.

My favourite album covers of all time, in no particular order: Death Grips - Exmilitary Alice in Chains - Self Titled (Tripod) The Smiths - Meat is Murder David Bowie - Blackstar Have a Nice Life - Deathconciousness Kanye West - The Life of Pablo Sigh - Imaginary Sonicscape Joy Division - Closer The Clash - London Calling Ol Dirty Bastard - Return to the 36 Chambers

Dark side of the moon and st. Pappers album covers are irreplaceable.. They are just perfect ❤❤

Just a heads up even though someone has probably already mentioned it. Blondie's singer is Debbie Harry, not Harris. Great video though.

I'm so happy you finally got sponsored 💕 but this was a really great video dude! Also that's really cool Fiver reached out to their artists on their platform like that.

Weezer’s “Pinkerton” album art compliments the music so well.

The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me. Amazing album with incredible art. The band actually persisted on getting that photograph for their album after being rejected multiple times by the photographer. He eventually gave in and said that if they wanted it that bad, then they must be really passionate about it. I think the photographer gave the album a listen before finally agreeing to let it be the album art. The only requirement was that there could be no text covering the image.

I feel like black sabbath’s self titled could easily have been in here- matches the sound of album perfectly

I think taboo could fit perfectly in the identity category especially considering the themes of the album

Illmatic is pretty iconic too. The way kid Nas is transparent and looking at you frowning, while the background is the streets of New York. It kinda shows how Nas' life is a reflection of his environment.

I feel like iridescence album cover isn't as iconic, but as it compliments the music in the album perfectly

well if we're talking about iconic covers that might make you uncomfortable death grips' no love deep web cover is up there

You make a great point here. Thank you for sharing this because not only is it interesting but it's also useful.

Weyes blood's TITANIC RISING has an AMAZING artcover

Honestly i think three cheers for sweet revenge by my chemical romance is a pretty iconic deep album cover

You know the Elvis artwork is iconic when another album parodies it and ends up being just as, if not more, famous.

This is the dopest video I've seen in a while. GREAT JOB ALFO MEDIA!!!

Pet Sounds was unfortunately released just before album covers started being treated as a form of art. I believe if it had been released a year or two later, it would have had a truly iconic cover.

The blue album by Weezer is pretty fire

Justices Cross is Crazy, the best way to describe the feeling it gives me is if I died that is all that I will see for the rest of eternity.

Laughing Stock by Talk Talk is one of my favourites the colour choices are so beautiful

The flower boy cover. Theres just something about it that captures the essence of the contents of the album perfectly

Pac‘s all eyez on me cover is legendary

My favorite album covers ever are Dookie by Green Day, Insomniac by Green Day and Famous Monsters by the Misfits

the re-designs were amazing to see!

I love the Meliora cover. It's so gorgeous and there are many different covers within than one cover. It's so gosh darn cool.

To pimp a butterfly has a pretty lit album cover because it conveys what the albums theme is. Being black in America

so we’re just gonna forget the demon days cover?

For me, the best album redesigns were the Nirvana, NWA and of course Sgt. Peppers. Awesome list! You should do a list of your favourite album covers from this year and maybe sort them into Thematic, Identity or Originality as well.

Muh favs: The Empyrean - John Frusciante Kid A - Radiohead TRAFOZSATSFM - David Bowie To record only water for 10 days - John Frusciante Ye - Kanye West KIDS SEE GHOSTS (self titled album) Blood Sugar Sex Magik - RHCP IGOR - Tyler the Creator

Is nobody gonna mention “Crisis! What Crisis?” By Supertramp? Not only is the actual songs in it amazing but the album cover is also fantastic. For those who don’t know it’s a man in swimming shorts and sunglasses sitting on an orange and white chair under an umbrella of the same colour. That small segment is the only part of the album cover with actual colours. Meanwhile behind this relaxed man is a breaking down almost dystopian city of factory’s and other not great things. Not only does this correlate to the title but also reflects the denial of plenty of governments of modern day growing problems. It mirrors politicians and governments living in their own little paradise unaware of the “crisis” behind them or more in denial of the crisis. It’s a great album cover that conveys a message that still holds up today.

“American Idiot for Boomers.” Is the best thing I have ever heard.

I just watched a few clips from your channel. And this isn't at all about if I agree or not, but I really like your style. Interesting topics; well laid out; subjective. Great stuff.

Man on the moon at the end of the 1 and 3 are my favorite album covers they put you in the feel of cudis music

This video is very inspirational :D. I remember as a kid, with the last report card of the year we didnt get money, no, we went to the record store as a family as tradition every year and picked out one record each. My brother and I usually picked something based on the album artwork, listened to it in store, and if we liked it we got to buy it. It was such a wonderful experience, and later in life I got into creating art myself. I graduated in Game art and am now studying Illustration & animation, to try and become an illustrator & animator for the sake of music (album covers, music videos, posters etc). Nothing has brought me more joy then the diversity there is to find, and lately I've been going back into the habbit of trying new music just based on the art, giving it a shot and if I like it, it's a stayer. I do this via r/albumartporn on reddit, save what I visually like, and look it up on spotify. It has brought me a few gems already. Last but not least I really like the modern look the born in the usa album redesign has ^^, Would love to see more videos about album covers in general and their relation to the music of the given project. Thanks for all the good stuff!!

Roger Dean is probably the greatest album cover artist of all time.

Ik I’m late but this video now more then ever has been very interesting and influential to me, recently(since last year) I started listening to albums based off of the cover and how much I liked it without having listened to any of the artists prior music to base it off, 4 albums that encapsulates that perfectly were liquid swords by Gza, atrocity exhibition by Danny brown, random access memories by daft punk and kid a by Radiohead. I had no idea whether or not I’d like these albums but I chose to listen to them anyway just based off how much I liked the covers and I think that shows the power of album artwork.

Just seeing the unknown pleasures cover reminded me of the riff in transmission and gave me goosebumps
