Can’t seem to edit my post. 😕 Anyway, the link is to the entire discography. Scroll down about halfway for the cover for Reggae Got Soul.

After browsing through my collection in album art mode, I have come to the realization that I don’t really like any of the cover art.
The ones I hate the least:
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - [Fever to Tell](http://imgsrv1.pxdrive.com/pics/norm/101906.jpg)
Pocahaunted - [Chains](http://imgur.com/9DO0iQf)
Purity Ring - [Shrines](http://assets-s3.rollingstone.com/assets/images/album_review/purity-ring-shrines-cover-1346868884.jpeg)
The Raveonettes -[Pretty in Black](http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/_/77976834/Pretty+in+Black+g7spckua.png)

Barón Rojo (Red Baron) [Metalmorfosis](http://www.amazon.com/Metalmorfosis-Baron-Rojo/dp/B000006Z93/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1398773537&sr=8-1&keywords=baron+rojo+metalmorfosis) (thanks, Amazon…)
It’s one of the very few covers that comes to mind instantly; the rest are memorable but not necessarily “favorites”.

Ya know, after seeing that album cover for decades, I only now just realized the waitress is the Statue of Liberty. :smack:
