28. The Flaming Lips: 'Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots' (2002) – The Oklahoma band's second masterpiece is, as the title suggests, a partly a concept album about a young girl launching a crusade against giant robots. The painting that adorns the cover perfectly surmises this, but like The Flaming Lips' music, despite the dark subject matter it's also warm and fuzzy. The Japanese text along the front poignantly reads: "Happiness can make you cry" - a line taken from the album track 'Do You Realize??'.
- Um, this is one of the WORST album covers of the 00s. Who made this list, a 12 year old boy who just got into Yes?
- Such an interesting cover! I agree very filmic, great photography from Storm Thorgerson!
- amazinggggggg cover of the greatest album of the decade
- No Opeth covers?! Other than that a good countdown
- I always wonder why there's a gas mask in one, a teddy bear in another etc. It's interesting.
