CYH is probably my fav

Paul's Boutique is very unique
hey, I'm a poet and didn't know it

I like the shots of HSC I've seen so far (y)

I know you may not be referring to photos as art, but I think they are

1) Hot Sauce Committee pt 1 (Cool and funny and i like how Yauch is holding a cat for no appearent reason)

then 2) Hello Nasty (can't explain but it is ultimate)

then 3) The Mix-Up (Awesome art and there is a lot to the art as well and the art has a back that matches)


WOOOH!

Paul's Boutique I think is the best, particularly because it so eloquently captures the vibe of the record.

Hello Nasty is pretty dope too.

Check Your Head is kinda monumental too, considering that it's their return to instruments and they're just sitting there on the curb like some bums with their axes. Plus the "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" bit is very sly.

Wow this is tougher than I thought.

LTI is legendary.
HN captures the album perfectly for me.

What about including everything - inside jacket, etc.

For me its gotta be Hello Nasty - the space theme was just too dope for me.

That being said, TT5B drawings are sick.

I absolutely love the Mix-Up, you can look at it 100 times and notice something different every time.

1. The Mix-Up/The Mix-Up Bonus Tracks
2. Hello Nasty
3. To The 5 Boroughs

By the way, the artist for the cover of "To The 5 Boroughs" has a whole book of NYC drawings. Look it up here (http://matteopericoli.com/).

yes, YoungRemy, Matteo Pericoli does it for me. someone had bought a copy of "Manhattan Unfurled" for my birthday that same year.

number two for me is all the CYH stuff because HAZE was behind it. he's an interesting artist to me. Love the fact that we went to Pratt and was interested in self-taught too.

number three: LTI b/c it's done with crayon.

inside cover: fisheye drawing in the CIO single

also love the group shot on IC

Hello Nasty, although Hot Sauce Committee is an instant classic.

Bill McMullen aka Billions McMillions was behind The Mix Up and Hot Sauce Committee.

looking forward to the album art on HSC.

I'm going to go with Check Your Head. If I were to get my shit together and have a band again, I'd like the cover to be black and white, sitting on a curb, but with me having a black eye. And the photo collage is pretty neat-o. And the photo of them jamming is a cool shot. And the font of everything is badass.

Also the 2 photos on the cover and back of sounds of science.
