The ranking is cool, but if you're turned off of Springsteen because of patriotism I just wanted to let you know that Born in the USA is a protest song about the treatment of Vietnam veterans. A lot of his stuff harshly critiques America so he might be worth another look for you. Love your videos they are always inspiring!
Being critical of your country is patriotic. Born in the USA is patriotic but definitely not nationalistic.
@freeman10000 You arent wrong but you're missing the point.
Yeah, there is so much more going on in that image (especially when you know the context of the song) but regardless, - we assume he's looking at a flag, but we don't see the whole flag. The flag is way bigger than him. We don't see his face. The red, white and blue are actually on him, he's wearing it, made up of simple worn out clothes. So to me, what it means is a man looking at America, trying to understand what it means to him, when he is actually it himself.
I’m sooo furious! Sgt pepper’s deserves to be in the S tier! Jann Haworth is a master!
It was right on the cusp for me haha
@@JesseNyberg it shouldn’t have been 😭, it’s a clear winner 🏆
@@JesseNybergthe placement for revolver is vile
Where’s Weezer?
@@JesseNybergwhere in the world is steely dan aja the complexity of it is amazing or eagles hotel California it’s a amazing alum or even Green Day American idiot or dookies.
putting kid a in c tier is a sin and a crime against humanity
Good Job , you make great points and I think album cover are as important as the music because it the introduction to the fans who want to support your artistry
Joni Mitchell Hejira " weird nineties double exposure" was produced in the seventies. It's iconic. For a graphic designer to give it a "D" is artistic malpractice.
Here's some iconic album covers that you didn't list: Prince's 1999 and Around the World in a Day, Tom Petty's Learning to Fly, U2's Achtung Baby, Elton John's Captain Fantastic & the Brown Dirt Cowboy, Van Halen's 1984
He was going off of the top 50 Rolling Stones article. Not on personal opinion. They missed a lot of great ones
great video jesse! this was an exciting video to watch. thank you!!
Respectfully, I cannot believe you put the Led Zeppelin album that low 😩 one of the most iconic cover arts of all time, done before thresholding was a thing.
I know it was done before threshold was a thing, just kinda reminded me of that. It just ain’t my favorite, I could see why some people like it tho!
I think Led Zep IV has better cover art.
@@JesseNybergThat's such a lame justification. What is anyone going to learn from that?
@@Mekchanoid it is basically his preference so what
i've heard about 8 albums and too little arguments on design. most of them are "i like" or "i don't like"… i came here for something else, i guess
yeah i know youtube watchtime and stuff but man, no need to rush, need an other one! maybe music, maybe film?
I feel it brotha, felt like 20+ mins is when it starts to feel long, appreciate feedback tho! Might do another ranking of some sort soon👀
nah the floral print on the side of the purple rain album make the album cover look more unique prince knew what he was doing
There's no fucking way he put Rhythm Nation 1814 in D tier. That's a classic album cover for a reason.
TPAB at just a B is kinda wild. The composition of this photo, for one thing is crazy, and if you listen to the album multiple times through, you really can't think of a photo that would represent the music better.
Then again, this is more about how it looks by itself, not much about the music it represents.
Amazing rankings. Great selections!
So cool! Would love to see a ranking of Blue Note covers!
That could be cool, I think too many would go in the S tier though haha
@@JesseNyberg Hahahah very true
From a guy who thinks Hejira was from the 90s? Rather you than me.
Revolver is a designers dream
Kid A is one of my favorite album covers of all time lol
Omg loved this video, could you do one with a different type of design for example movie posters? Thx✌️😊
I found myself disagreeing with almost every take on here. 😂😂
Very interesting and important for me atm, since i'm working on an album cover right now
Wot, no iconic In The Court of the Crimson King cover? (Incidentally, painted by 23-year-old English artist-cum-computer programmer Barry Godber who, tragically, died of a heart-attack 4 months after the album's release.)
What about Powerslave by Iron Maiden
i like In The Court of The Crimson King album cover
Ok tierlist, Aladdin Sane and Kid A deserved better tho
Ong Kid A is amazing
Beach Boys in S ??!
Grace Under Pressure by RUSH
as a taylor fan, this feels like a personal attack but im also a fan of your works and your contents so i let this one slide.
Cringe ah
Great selection, move posters next 😊
not you giving the beatles a tier for their text only cover art but beyoncé d tier….
you forgot the greatest album cover of all time - the clash!
At least the bad takes are consistently bad.
Graphic designer today means everyone with a computer 😅
Nice tiering. I would say that recognizing something without text has nothing to do with the graphic/art, that's entirely about the music and marketing. If Dark Side had terrible music, you would have no idea what it is.
1984 by van halen has the best album art and music
Thanks for Watching! Which album cover is your favorite??
1989 is a much better than so many ones above it that have just a text over... same for Lemonade, the color palette is amazing
I feel like like being recognizible and iconic has nothing to do with the quality of the album cover. So many boring and bland covers got to high tiers, but that is my opinion.
Katy Perry's Teenage Dream deserved to be bere tho
What about Ali e coopers schools out
he really don't like beyonce or bruce springsteen huh
What he could think about blood sugar sex magic one?
goated
DONDA
Whew tough critic 😂
What is wrong with you? Putting Led Zeppelin I in the C tier? It deserves B tier or higher imho! That album art is awesome and captures the true essence of the music!
Sorry, but the Nas Ilmatic cover is not good. You went by nostalgia only.
A banana as an S tier but the Patti Smith at C?
Patti Smith at least has some substance, it may be simple but so is the banana, what’s so special about it that’s better than the other?
And WHY is the Pink Floyd an S tier? 😂
It’s just a rainbow and a triangle!!
gostei do video mas acho que faltou julgar mais a arte. se perdeu no quão importante fora musicalmente e a capa sendo meio termo. 1:30 isso ter ganhando um A foi matador vendo que o antecessor que estava mais organizado visualmente recebeu D. meio que perde a credibilidade
12:50 looks like a 💩
some of these are a bit wack ngl
First!
Great video. But I think you may be discounting Springsteen because of the aesthetic he appears to put on. The dude is absolutely not “patriotic” in the conservative sense. Dude has always been progressive and has never been afraid to criticize the more pernicious elements of American culture.
Born in the USA the furthest thing from a nationalist anthem.
Exactly. Springsteen is patriotic (critical of a country he loves) but not nationalistic (my country is the best and screw you if you think otherwise).
Kid A in C is criminal
Beyoncé self-titled: "this one is pretty boring just text in the middle, im gonna put on D tier"
meanwhile-
the beatles self-titled: i think this one is a cool concept- i like this one IMMA PUT ON A TIER
THE AUDACITY😩😩
you can pull down the zipper on the original Sticky Fingers vinyl cover, which makes it even better
That's dope!
same with the banana on the velvet underground and nico self titled
TPAB in B tier? :(
beyonce self titled: boring
the beatles white album: A tier
THAT'S WHY YOU'RE BALD
Where the hell is Revolver
In b
@@SG_____disgraceful
@@SG_____its literally so creative, it won a grammy...
my favourite album covers will forever be the tame impala albums, lonerism is so good im glad my favourite album of all time has an amazing album cover
Dude.... I'm just over 2 minutes in and you already lost me. how could you put Led Zeppelin 1 at C tier. One of the most striking and iconic images in all of rock history! Yet right before it you put some forgettable, generic lazy white background, baby and text picture at A tier?
fair enough sounds like we both have bias, that "generic white background baby and text picture" is one of the most legendary hip-hop albums of all time.
@@JesseNyberg I guess I just don't listen to enough hip hip music...
@@atomicvinylreviews3420 hip hip 👍👍
Visions album cover by Grimes, It's the most beautiful and aesthetic cover I've ever seen
That ones pretty cool
how is maggot brain on there but awaken my love isn’t
That nevermind take is horrible
Where’s gorillaz demon dayssss
one of the worst tier list I've seen so far
Love this! It’s cool to see you so passionate about a topic, 10/10 vid
You should see Lady Gaga's Chromatica Album Art. (and its remix album: dawn of chromatica) it's a mix of digital and traditional
art.
I’ve seen it, dope album art for sure!
Do this again , really great video
TPAB is an easy S
No In The Court of Crimson King? The selection of covers in video is too Pop I think
OK Computer in A tier is a crime imo
Nah Kid A in C in a crime
Honestly I think In Rainbows is probably their most recognisable and iconic album cover
Great vid man! Keep up the hard work
Much Love!
His points on where and why he places the album makes sense. Good reasoning 💯
This unironically gotta be one of the worst tier lists I've ever seen.
Drake's " If you're hearing this it's too late" album cover is definitely not that great. The rating you put on the album is also correct. Definitely not being the top 50
Loooved this video thank you!!
Glad you liked it!!
