Do you think many of the albums we hail as the greatest would be recieved differently if they didn't have the instantly recognisable and unique covers?
If King Crimson's debut was just Fripp and his mates standing around with their instruments, would the music itself, though unchanged, seem less incredible? If Dark Side of the Moon didn't feature the infamous light spectrum and instead had Waters grinning like a goofball, would that mid-career album be largely ignored?
The album cover is usually the first thing I see when checking out an album and it seems to "set the tone" for the music, at least for me. Do you guys have a similar experience?
What if someone just swapped all albums covers? That would be very, very evil...huhuhuhu *hides evil smirk under the dark of the room, highlighting his evil yellow eyes*

I think it depends person to person. It's hard to say. Personally, no album covers impress me without listening to the music. They're all just a bit meh. But after listening to the music, you kinda get an understanding of the album cover in context with the music, and allows you to appreciate album cover.
