So Long Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 (Preface: Analogman, if you happen to stumble upon a post about this from months (or years?) ago, I apologize, I searched...) I've got the Being There vinyl up on my wall, and I have to say, it's the worst Wilco album art. Seems like a last minute thing... So, why not rate album art?

DAngerer09 Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I like the SBS album art, but every time I look at the cover it looks like my sink after I shave in the morning. YHFAGIBBTSBSAMST Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCP Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I like BT a lot. It's simple but nice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WaronWar Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I always thought Summerteeth's artwork was very cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tongue-tied Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 AGIB (it was grammy winning, after all)YHF (for cover alone, i might place it first, but the city/water pictures SBS (the nature photo is cool, though less interesting in context with the music as AGIB or YHF. i like the photo of the gang inside)BT (simple, yes. but to me it seems to be in the spirit of the album. i listen to it and imagine wilco as being really loose and energetic in the studio, and all the artwork seems to be photos of them in the studio.)ST (not a fan of the band standing around looking vacant. on the inside they're separate, Coomer's stranded at the gas station for pete's sake. i much prefer the happy family inside SBS)AM (very meh, not offputting, just doesn't seem as thoughtful as the rest) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

craigwinn Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Does anyone know if the Marina Towers were altered (position wise, obviously the picture was) at all when making the YHF cover? My friend and I were walking around that area talking about the possible vantage points for that picture. Has anyone tried to recreate that? I did a Google Image search and saw a few interesting takes... yes it says in the appendix to the Wilco Book that they actually moved one of the towers over a few feet to the left.

quosh Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 If you count the vinyl version of AGIB, I think that is my favourite. (The nest) I happen to agree with the point that Being There was probably just cobbled together although the picture of Jeff shouting into a mic makes me wonder if that's what he looks like when he's having an argument... Very random I know... Alex Quote Link to post Share on other sites

entropy Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I like the last four (including KT) infinitely more than the first three. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
a.miller Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 AGIB and YHF are my two faves. I'll take it another step and ask if anyone else feels like the emotions conveyed by the cover art bears any relevance on the musical content of the repective album? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I definately think that YHF fits the music. It could be because of the documentary, though... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
giraffo Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 GhostSTSBSYHFBTAM if you include KT it would probably be second. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
