All this month I'm posting albums every day according to a theme. You can join me by using the hashtag #MeltdownsJMC on your socials.

Today, it's album art work. In an old man voice "The kids these days" only see small pictures of artwork on their phones from their favorite bands. That's too bad. Some of these pictures become iconic.

I picked a few for you. The Abbey Road cover may be one of the most iconic.  Same with the classic Judas Priest British Steel album. 

Metallica's Master of Puppets cover has graced everything from t-shirts, to you name it. So classic. 

I also included the Ghost album. It harkens back to the days of artwork being made specifically for an album or the band using a piece of art for their cover.

Obviously, there's tons of great album art out there? What are some of your faves? #MeltdownsJMC
