Assignment 1: CD & Album Covers Assignment
Favorite CD Cover: Nickelback Dark Horse
I absolutely love Nickelback. I love that they are "rockers" but you can still understand the words and the meaning to their songs. I was lucky enough to attend a concert and be near the stage and they were truly down to earth guys and great performers. The meaning of "Dark Horse" (according to Google) is "someone who emerges to prominence; being previously little known." I do not see how this correlates with this album really, being as they had several hit albums before this but maybe the title Dark Horse means something entirely different to the members of the band.
Favorite Album Cover: Beach Boys Surfin' Safari
The first time I listened to this album I was probably around 5 years old. I discovered my mom's huge record player and she put this album on so my sister and I could dance around and be silly. I have a great fondness for the beach boys because of these memories. This is my favorite album cover simply because it is fun. I love that they are all in suits at the beach. I can almost imagine what fun it was for them to do the photo shoot for this.
Worst Cd Cover: Spice Girls
There are so many things wrong with this cover I can not begin to cover it but this I think is the WORST cover ever. All the bright mismatched colors and textures. It looks like a clown threw up. I may hate it even more because I was unfortunate enough to have to listen to this music but simply put, it hurts my eyes.
