17. Biffy Clyro Opposites
Thorgersons final album cover ended up being a band hed worked with several times before, Scottish rock band Biffy Clyro. It features a single tree standing stark in a windswept desert landscape, and it captures both the maturing sound of the band and an artist whod been around for a long time yet still had something to offer. The combination of a single striking centre-point in a strange landscape is something that appeared numerous times on album covers designed by Thorgerson.
16. Peter Gabriel - Peter Gabriel (1978)
Somewhat confusingly, Peter Gabriel has released four separate self-titled albums over the course of his career. It is fortunate then that fans have such distinctive and memorable artwork to allow them differentiate between them. This particular album is often his album is often referred to as Scratch, by fans, referring to Thorgersons bold album cover. While most of the other examples on this list are composed in bright pastel colours, Scratch shows that Thorgerson was just as capable with monotone images.
