Led Zeppelin, Physical Graffiti [Atlantic, 1975]

Architectural album covers inspired by David Byrne’s recent TED talk.

What spaces do musicians picture when they are making their music? What is the intended venue? While we may never know, a clue could come in the form of the architecture and places sometimes represented on album covers. Though many times designed by others, these both mimic the music and prove visual clues about what the music is like.
