"Sam's Town" (2006) by The Killers
There was one tag missing on on Artboobs: music! Here's the first (updated) instalment of "album covers featuring boobs": "Sam's Town" (2006) by The Killers with a photo by Dutch photographer Anton Corbijn. More suggestions are highly appreciated.
From a review of the album in a UK music magazine (I've forgotten which one):
As well as a desert bighorn sheep - the Nevada state animal - the album cover has a disconsolate beauty queen leaning against a battered trailer. Corbijn considered hiring a model but then chose Felice, the Puerto Rican-American receptionist at the recording studio.
Amazon review by Aidin Vaziri:
The Killers five-million-selling debut, 2004's Hot Fuss, saw the stylish Las Vegas quartet mining inspiration from its favorite '80s British acts Duran Duran, the Cure, and the Smiths. On its follow-up, the group turns its focus homeward. First there's the album title, Sam's Town, which pays tribute to the old-school local casino where the band got its start. Then there's the music inside, a collection of windswept rockers in the vein of Bruce Springsteen that leave the indie-disco vibe of "Mr. Brightside" in the desert dust. Working with producers Alan Moulder and Flood (best known for their work with U2, Depeche Mode and Nine Inch Nails), everything here sounds bigger and shinier, with full-blown strings and choirs coloring epics like "When You Were Young" and "The River Is Wild." Coming soon to a stadium near you. --Aidin Vaziri

Here's the fourth installment of Album Covers Featuring Boobs: "Electric Ladyland" (1968) by The Jimi Hendrix Experience
Bursting with ideas and energy, Jimi Hendrix's second album release of 1968 was a double-LP set that showcased virtually everything the guitar genius had to offer: blistering blues ("Voodoo Chile"), galaxy-patrolling space jams ("1983... A Merman I Should Turn to Be"), psychedelic soul ("Crosstown Traffic"), and skyscraping rock ("Voodoo Child (Slight Return)"). In the midst of all this was even a hit song--Hendrix's remarkable reading of Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower," featuring a series of baton-passing guitar solos, all distinct and brilliant. Seemingly diffuse when first released; in hindsight, kaleidoscopically eclectic. --Billy Altman
Warning: judging by
the album at Amazon
the units of this album no longer shift with the original artwork. Fucking shame. If Hendrix was alive today he would rather piss on Wallmart than having his artwork changed to have it on their shelves.
This cover is from the UK edition. If you buy this album now it comes with a blurry head shot of Hendrix looking like he's about to come (or playing a high note during a solo), which according to the Hendrix estate is what he preferred.
The UK edition [..] came with a different and very controversial cover. With the artwork not reaching the UK in time to press the album, a cover of naked women lounging in front of a black background was issued in its place, causing considerable reaction. The US cover by Karl Ferris, which Hendrix had intended, has since become the official cover of Electric Ladyland internationally. Hendrix's family, who own the rights to the album and most of his catalogue, has stated that the original UK cover will not be used anymore since Hendrix did not himself like it.
Thanks to 'Anonymous' for pointing me here.
"Surfer Rosa" (1988) by Pixies
Here's the third installment of "album covers featuring boobs": "Surfer Rosa" (1988) by Pixies
Before the Breeders and Frank Black, there was this Boston quartet, playing hardcore's rush and terseness against the acoustic grit and the minor-key flourish of Latin pop. Their first full-length album is their starkest, harsh and trebly, with the drums right in your face, and songs edited to eliminate any note that's not absolutely necessary. Singer Black Francis yelping away about destroyed bodies and the river Euphrates, alternately acting cryptic and crazed. Kim Deal, then calling herself "Mrs. John Murphy," contributes the highlight, "Gigantic," a creepy anthem about childhood voyeurism. The playing is snarly and tricky but unfailingly tuneful, and the hooks come out of nowhere, hiding behind the noise, and bite down hard. --Douglas Wolk
"Chocolate and Cheese" (1994) by Ween
Here's the second installment of "album covers featuring boobs": "Chocolate and Cheese" (1994) by Ween
Those of us who worship at the Church of Ween (Hail to the great god Boognish!) know that skinny blond twerp Beck stole his whole shtick from New Jersey musical geniuses Dean and Gene. Always ahead of their time, the brothers Ween have responded by abandoning their traditional lo-fi four-track recording methods and giving us their lushest album yet, Chocolate and Cheese. Not that Ween's fourth effort is polished; that adjective could never describe an album that veers wildly from acoustic Mexican folk songs, to pure '70s disco, to the appropriately named single, "I Can't Put My Finger On It." But Chocolate and Cheese may come even closer than "Push Th' Little Daisies" to fulfilling Dean's goal of establishing Ween as the next Counting Crows. --Jim DeRogatis
