    Lots of great music posted already. In this world of CD's and downloaded music, one of the things that has been lost is the cover art like we had when albums quit being a single LP disc played at 33-1/3 rpm. A lot of the cardboard covers were doubled up and in addition to the artwork on the outside there was art / photographs and lyrical poetry on the inside that further expressed the flavor of the season and events. A picture speaks a thousand words. My grandkids who get their music downloaded off the internet have never seen that aspect of their generations entertainment.

    They won't much care and really shouldn't. You are 100% correct that the cover art is not really linked to the music any more. However, it is irrelevant. Youth now associate music with videos instead of static art. I enjoy the old cover art, particularly that of Roger Dean, but honestly there is no longer a need for it. The world moves on and our old buggy whips are no longer relevant.

    This just happens to be an area that I'm pretty familiar with. I enjoy artwork, but the art world is heavily moving to digital. It can take 10% of the time to produce a work digitally, so the idea of collecting quality "original art" is slowly becoming a province of the rich, kinda like collecting machine guns.
