50 Images That Are So Unique, You Could Make Music Album Covers Out Of Them
Just like book covers, album covers have quite a job to do. They have to instantaneously capture the audience’s attention and intrigue them enough for the person to take some sort of action, whether it’s picking it off the shelf or listening to a song or two.
Album covers also need to reflect what kind of music is in the album, which can be quite a tough task. After all, music is a completely auditory experience and coming up with a visual representation of a sound that also tells a story is complicated to say the least.
That is why the images that end up on album covers are usually so intriguing. And, when you spot one in the wild, you recognize their unique quality right away.
The following list is comprised of such gems found on the Images That Could Be Album Covers subreddit. Scroll down to see them and let us know what band or genre it would suit best.

Reminder
Capybara With a Cat 2 years ago (edited)
Well I give it a try. Do you know Remi Wolf? She launched a song with Paramore this year and has also a really cool new single called prescription. Then, a band I discovered are The Dresden Dolls, they are old but new for me. Now I'm in love with their songs Girl Anachronism and My Alcoholic Friends. And someone else I discovered recently: Laura Marling. A british folk pop singer, pretty cool

UPS Is Determined
A. HAM 2 years ago
This photo is 100% real. It is not Photoshopped, and it is not meant to be a joke. One of my family members worked with this man at the same UPS hub, and was out delivering on that day also. Due to jammed radio and cell towers, they went along, doing their jobs, not knowing the full extent of what was going on.
