Our Countdown Of The Coolest Album Covers Ever

8. Blue Train by John Coltrane

Designer: Reid Miles

An iconic image of a true jazz great, the cover of Coltrane’s Blue Train was supposedly inspired by Picasso’s Blue Period. The photo, taken by Francis Wolff, certainly captures the sax legend in a pensive, thoughtful and, well, blue mood; basically looking like the super-cool legend he was.

7. Back In Black by AC/DC

Designer: Bob Defrin

AC/DC’s first album following the death of lead singer Bon Scott had a cover that was appropriately sparse, dark and powerful. A simple outline of the band’s iconic logo together with the title in plain typography, it perfectly complemented the music itself: simple, heavy, no-nonsense, and brutally effective.
