I have it on a demo copy of F.S.O.T.W.
I love it, and wish he would've went ahead and used it.

But the one he did end up using is nice too-just not as nice as the original.

How do you copy a picture and paste it here? Is it [img]picturelink[/img]? I can't seem to find the info to get that info.

That's it. If you hold your mouse cursor (don't click) over the style attributes above the text area when posting a message, it gives you the format for all of those attributes including Img, URL, Quote, etc.

Riddles in The Sand is my favorite

I don't like the original artwork for FSOTW. I'm glad it was changed. It looks generic.
But since that's not an offical cover, Beach House get my vote for worst...and album as well.

Funny. My buddy (whose coming to Tampa from KC for the concert next week) and I were just talking about this same thing earlier today.
Jimmy certainly has quite a few great album covers and a bunch of cover that s*** out loud.

The newest covers from FSOTW on have been a bit lazy – but still good. Given what the photoshoot of Take the Weather was about, I think they could've designed a much cooler package. I like the cover of FSOTW that they went with – never cared for the original.

My favs:
Banana Wind
Barometer Soup
Meet Me In Margaritaville
Boats, Beaches, Bars and Ballads (what a great package all around!)
License To Chill (maybe it's the content that makes this cover so good?)

Classics:
SYKBH (original)
A1A
Living and Dying in 3/4 time
Volcano
Changes in Attitudes
Coconut Telegraph

Lousy (generally the 80s–early 90s covers):
Beach House on the Moon
Off To See the Lizard
Hot Water
Feeding Frenzy
You Had To Be There
Floridays
Son Of A Son...
