...you know, like the 4-packs they sell through Pottery Barn or wherever. What album covers do you put up in them? You must actually own these albums, but the other criteria are up to you...best album, favorite album, signature covers, coolest covers, best 4 that go together, whatever. LP or 12".

Mine right now, which will suprise no one...

(Naturally, these are LWTUA UK12", Blue Monday original dye cut (of course!), PCL, and Unknown Pleasures)

Basically, anything from this index. Go through - it owns and rules all:

But if I had to narrow it down, I'd go with these four. And then I'd exchange them with another four from Saville every few months or so [8D] :

The Valley Girl LP my wife bought me, The Jason And the Scorchers is one of my favorites, The Gin Blossoms is their first before they "made it" and the Nirvana one was just a cool cover. By no means my favorites but it's odd I have 4 like Blir asked!

I wish I could keep it to just 4:

A Flock of Seagulls - A Flock of Seagulls
The Cars - The Cars
Björk - Debut
Depeche Mode - Music For the Masses
Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms
Donald Fagen - Kamakiriad
Elvis Costello and The Attractions - This Year's Model
OMD - Crush
OMD - Maid Of Orleans
http://www.omd.uk.com/discography/singl ... id_7_b.jpg
Peter Gabriel - Peter Gabriel [1] (1977)
Ric Ocasek - Beatitude
Steely Dan - Aja
U2 - Achtung Baby
Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

I have no pictures or grabs, but my choices would be:

1. X - Wild Gift
2. XTC - Black Sea
3. Ramones - Road To Ruin
4. The Who - Quadrophenia

Excellent Coop! I'm telling ya, these things usually travel in 4's. Now I just gotta get motivated to put these up.

Only 4? I've got about 20. We'll put up kitschy, fun album covers of the 60s and 70s like "Train Your Bird In Stereo" "Steno Booster - Dictation Speed and Accuracy Course" for a few months, then switch to favorite records like All Mod Cons, Quadrophenia, London 0 Hull 4, etc.

And a Bob Newhart record is always up there somewhere. I went to switch out the covers one day and the though crossed my mind that I'd be really upset if he dropped dead of a heart attack or something the day after I took it down. So Bob stays up.

Blir, those covers are fantastic! I'll go w/ your decorations. But since I can't (what the heck is Pottery Barn?), I'd go with:

Four 4AD album covers. Those were always truly luscious!

4AD all the way!

mmmmmmm, yummy 4AD covers...[^]

....thanks, guys!

<p>Coolest covers from my collection. My favorites or most listened to would be a completely different set. The last one is a bit hard to see; it's the cover from the Burning Ambitions compilation:</p>
