RedundantIdiot Posted December 12, 2016 Posted December 12, 2016 What is your favourite album cover? I have gone with Dookie.
Nowhere Man Posted December 12, 2016 Posted December 12, 2016 Dookie of course! It is actually one of the best covers ever, not only Green Day.
Christian's Inferno! Posted December 12, 2016 Posted December 12, 2016 My favourite is... well I'm sure you can guess
Dimitris Gotsis Posted December 12, 2016 Posted December 12, 2016 Insomniac! Such a beautiful painting
End Of The World Posted December 12, 2016 Posted December 12, 2016 Insomniac. It's a mess. And it fits perfectly into the dark atmosphere of the album. I remember reading on the GD biography that the painting is called "God Told Me To Skin You Alive", by Winston Smith.
Steven Seagull Posted December 12, 2016 Posted December 12, 2016 Dookie of course and it's not even close. so many details there.
YoungBlood Posted December 12, 2016 Posted December 12, 2016 American Idiot - such simplicity in the cover that translated such a powerful message and gave people hope !
St. Jonny Posted December 12, 2016 Posted December 12, 2016 Dookie is the absolute best album cover of all time! Insomniac would have been second choice followed by Kerplunk.
Sarcasm Posted December 12, 2016 Posted December 12, 2016 None of this has anything on Shenanigans, unfairly held out of the poll like the outcast that it is.
JardyOfSuburbia Posted December 12, 2016 Posted December 12, 2016 Shenanigans! So simple and amazing. Plus, the collage stuff in the booklet is really neat. RevRad never worked for me. I think that's their worst.
Billie Hoe Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Absolutely insomniac. It's just too weird to not be my favorite
PursuitOfEpicness Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Dookie because I love how every time I look at it I find something new I didn't notice before. So much you can do with art that involves poop!
Nimrodness Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 DEFINITELY American Idiot https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/2b/Green_Day_-_American_Idiot_cover.jpg&imgrefurl=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Idiot&h=300&w=300&tbnid=k70qNqtNpK63aM:&vet=1&tbnh=160&tbnw=160&docid=THV_ZVbF-kWekM&itg=1&usg=__mV_TyE5oXm4II2xZQjwWRJ0g3vA=&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjWjoPmivDQAhVO5GMKHVurDgEQ_B0IcjAK
Haushinka! Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 How dare you exclude Shenanigans, the best album cover!

So much you can do with art that involves poop! I was going to say the same thing. I always find different things when I look at the Dookie cover, so that wins for me.
Jack [DF] Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 I think Nimrod's art does the best job of looking how the album sounds.
tresexy101 Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 I, as most of you know, am a member of the Illuminati. Green Day is also a Member. Their greatest album cover has yet to come. 322
DeJennsitized Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Tough choice. I went with American Idiot because it's so strong and iconic, and I love it as an album cover, whereas with Dookie it's great as a piece of art but not necessarily made to be an album cover. It is interesting that the two best selling albums have the best album cover art.
BilIie Joe Armstrong Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Insomniac, Dookie and Nimrod can't decide atm
Marki. Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 The first one that came to my mind as a favourite was Insomniac, so I guess I'll go with that. But I agree that the Dookie and AI covers are iconic, tough choice.
