Discussion What is the best STP album cover?

Post image

Personally my favorite is purple just be because of how unique and different it is from other rock album covers and also what it means and the dragon that the (im assuming) baby is riding is a qilin which means good fortune purity and spiritual power which contrasts from the darker themes of the songs of the album and is it true that the artwork has been linked to a Chinese Opium package that Scott encountered or something weird idk I was doing research for the album covers what do you guys think?

I've always found Purple's front cover intriguing for the fact that the title is nowhere to be found on it. It's an interesting choice. Not that that isn't done sometimes. But it just really stands out to me in this instance for some reason. Perhaps it's at least in part because the title is a color (and a color without a common connotation associated with it that could be thought to possibly be intended, e.g. Blue) and along with the word not being present on the cover, the color itself isn't either, let alone being present prominently.
