Album Covers That Defined Eras
1
Storm Thorgerson — Pink Floyd
The prism, the floating pig, the beds on the beach. Thorgerson/Hipgnosis built the visual identity of prog.
2
Derek Riggs — Iron Maiden
Eddie. Every single one. Riggs painted the mascot that became a tattoo, a poster, and a thousand stage backdrops.
3
Ed Repka — Megadeth
Vic Rattlehead and the nuclear-themed covers that defined thrash's visual vocabulary.
4
Pushead — Metallica & Misfits
The skull-in-flames skate-punk aesthetic that bridged hardcore, metal, and skate culture.
