Album Cover Art

Let's continue of look at Gigwise.com's list of their top 50 dirtiest and sexiest album covers (as compiled by their staff)


35. Rollins Band: ‘Nice’ – Here is what Gigwise had to say: "The legend that is Henry Rollins drafted in a naked woman for the sleeve of his 2001 album, only the dollar notes concealing her private parts. Sadly, the cover failed to attract the attention of the public – the record only reached number 178 in the American Billboard Chart."

Rollins Band was an American alternative rock group led by singer and songwriter Henry Rollins.

They are best-known for the songs "Low Self Opinion" and "Liar", which both earned heavy airplay on MTV in the early 1990s. Critic Steve Huey describes their music as "uncompromising, intense, cathartic fusions of hard rock, funk, post-punk noise, and jazz experimentalism, with Rollins shouting angry, biting self-examinations and accusations over the grind."

This particular LP is one I would buy just for the cover art, I love pictures of money (and I don't mind the model posing with the money either!)

Henry Rollins was a singer for Black Flag also.
