This is a side show of the top 20 music albums of all time accoridng to
There are many artists that feature more than one album in this top 20 list, these are:
All of that bands and artists that feature in the top 20 albums of all time, all have a very strong brand image. They are all well known brands and are distinctive and recognizable in the music industry. Some of these artists/bands have more than one of their albums that feature here. I am going to analysis the album covers of these artists and discuss the brand image that they have created to their audience.
The Beatles
The Beatles are considered the biggest band in the world, of all time. This is partly due to the very strong brand image that they built up as a band. The image they gave off from the start of the band until the end of the band changed dramatically, but the band managed to protray the exact brand image that they wanted to at the time. These are the four albums of the band that features in the top 20 albums:
The 'sgt. pepper's lonely hearts club band' album cover shows the wacky and creative side of the band. It gives off the brand image that the band are creative within their music and think of themselves quite highly because very iconic and important people feature in this cover, alongside the band.
The 'Abbey Road' album cover is a photo of the band walking to the abbey road studios. Abbey road is a an exclusive recording studio and by calling the album this and featuring the band outside the studio, gives off the brand image that the band are also important and exclusive. They are all wearing suits which gives off the brand image that they think of themselves and the brand quite serious.
The 'White Album' by The Beatles is a very plain album cover but in some respects is seen as very powerful. This is the only album by the Beatles that doesn't have detailed album artwork on it. This gives off the brand image of the band that they focus alot more on the actual music and do not mess around with artwork of there albums, this cover gives off the brand image that the band are quite arrogant as they are confident enough not to attract their audience with the art work of the album as just the bands name is featured.
'Revolver' by The Beatles is an album cover that has really detailed art work involved. This album shows the creative side on the band and heavily focuses on people that they have been influenced by. It shows the brand image that The Beatles are very diverse as they are inspired from a wide range of different people. This is quite different from some of their other albums which show that they are quite arrogant and consider themselves to be very well known in the music industry.
