The art on the cover of an album reflects the style of the artist and what their music sounds like. I don’t know if it’s coincidence, but I find that a lot of really great songs are accompanied by some equally great album art. Perhaps that’s because I’m totally anal about my album art (I can’t stand having placeholder covers in my library). Anyway, I just thought I’d share a few that always seem to pop out whenever I’m scrubbing through my library. Who knows, some of these might give you some ideas for a creative project.
“Baby Baby Baby” by Make the Girl Dance

Very nice. Although, most of my songs (the mere 5GB) don’t have album covers. Never got around to actually making an iTunes account, and the ones that I have covers on, was a “package” with the song download.

The 7th one looks like some kind of game.

I actually just went through my music collection and got every single album cover this last week milk. Its quit rewarding to scroll through.

Well you see @Cutter631 — I, with more than no free time, am commenting on a blog at 12:33am while studying for a test as my hands do the typing… I don’t really have a lot of free time to collect a few hundred album covers. And seeing as your time is wasted with the 19GB music got deleted when the new iTunes 9 came — I probably won’t be doing it in the future.

I just got them all, over the past few months. And it is quite rewarding. That just contradicted the last statement on the comment I posted above, and I’m proud I did get all of them.
