The results are in. And the best Pink Floyd album cover, as voted by you, is … “Wish You Were Here.” The band’s 1975 album beat “Dark Side of the Moon” by a single vote.
Though we didn’t cast a ballot ourselves, we here at “Floydian Slip” agree: The art for “Wish You Were Here” perhaps best captures the spirit of the music contained within, and jibes perfectly with the band’s enigmatic vibe. For our money, “Animals” should have been the runner-up.
The biggest surprise on the list, in our humble opinion? “Meddle,” which came in 6th place. It’s one of our least favorite covers. But, then again, there’s no accounting for taste. (For those of you confused as to what the image on “Meddle” actually is: It’s an ear superimposed on ripples in water.)
Thanks to everyone who voted. The complete results are below.
