Best Album Cover Designers

Well here we are folks. My friend Ernie Cefalu is launching a new business venture and tonight shared with us a spot on YouTube to reflect his excitement as things get rolling. I'm proud to share this with you tonight. Over the course of Ernie's career in record album cover design (and corporate client design work as well) he and his associates/illustrative staff have created a vast portfolio of highly acclaimed design works over the years, so many that are immediately recognizable. He and his top illustrative artists have become world renowned leaders in their industry and we are proud of his many past successes and look with eager anticipation to the future as Ernie moves forward with yet another ambitious and just as surely successful business venture.

Ernie, every time I visit TheTopTens, I am acutely aware of the ardent and unwavering devotion that has been reflected through well over 500 comments in such a highly favorable manner. The votes tally to a consistently widening and overwhelming majority percentage over even the nearest (yet very distant) listed industry competitor.

If it was all strictly a matter of competitive edge, you stand tall and above and beyond so very many who may well harbor professional standing and qualification of their own yet the people have spoken, from the heart and soul, and the numbers, lofty as they are, tell a story far and away differing from even second from the 'top'.

The people whose hearts and minds you have touched, among millions, for decades-long, have demonstrated the real story here, a representative love for what you do, what you stand for, what you have lived for in the pursuit of excellence in design and customer delivery.

It looks a lot like you have the lion's share and rightfully so. Congratulations

He's did artwork for bands such as Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Nazareth, Motorhead, Marduk, Bal-Sagoth, and Sodom.

Holmes has been able to translate
the rock zeitgeist for many decades.
A true artist.

I have #10/300 by James Flournoy Holmes... "Eat A Peach" One Of the best of All Time...

Massively influential on photographers... And an entire population of metal-fans... He did the first Sabbath cover. RESPECT!

Why the hell is he this low I mean he could be lower but ten is his minimum. His solo pieces are great enough to take on Dali

Storm Thorgerson's Pink Floyd covers are the stuff of legends!

If Magritte did album covers.

That man created Eddie (iron maiden's mascot).

So amazing… although people would say Derek's artwork is navy, violent and controversial, DEAL WITH IT! IT'S HEAVY METAL! Plus! The artwork has lots of meaning and hidden messages!

Zappa! The Beatles! Many others.

He did the cover for the Beatles album "Revolver. " This guy knows his stuff. -
