Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden
An excellent tribute to the album that shot Iron Maiden to heavy metal fame.
Cyndi Lauper - shes so unusual
Another classically endearing homage to an award-winning debut album.
David Bowie - Aladdin Sane
This iconic image of David Bowie sees him with a lightning bolt painted across his face and is regarded as one of his most well-known images.
2Pac - All Eyez on me
“All Eyez on Me” was the fourth and final studio album by Tupac Shakur (aka 2Pac) released before his death in 1996.
Morrissey - You are quarry
2004 studio album by Morrissey sees him wielding a Tommy gun and was released by the appropriately named record label “Attack”.
Nirvana - Nevermind
The iconic baby swimming, apparently enthralled by money on a fishing line can be seen wonderfully recreated here in MS Paint.
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Our MS Paint artist faithfully, if messily, recreated the image here as a tribute to the band and its art.
Jimi Hendrix Experience - you are experienced
Widely regarded as one of the greatest debut albums in the history of rock music, “You are experienced” was the first album by the Jimi Hendrix Experience.
KISS - Dynasty
The MS Paint version is somewhat scarier than the original, but just as colourful and easily recognisable.
Velvet Underground and Nico
Andy Warhol’s pop-art was often so simple that this tribute created in MS Paint could easily be mistaken for the real thing.
Kraftwerk - Computer world
We’re glad computers don’t look like this anymore, but we’re impressed by the recreation this MS Paint artist managed to pull off.
Van Halen - women and children first
Here we see a fitting tribute to the third album by Van Halen which was the first of the group’s work to feature compositions written solely by the band.
Run DMC
Another hip-hop classic lovingly recreated in Paint.
Sonic Youth - Goo
Sonic Youth’s sixth album featured a cartoon style LP artwork which is impressively redrawn here right down to the written words.
The Doors
The image captures the band members and is neatly repainted, curly hair, spotty ties and all by this MS Paint artist.
ACDC - flick the switch
For fans of the band, this homage to the artwork will strike a chord as the original album cover itself could easily have been created in MS Paint too.
Arrested Development - 3 Years, 5 Months _ 2 Days in the Life of
This re-creation in MS Paint is actually surprisingly close to the original cover and well done too.
Beastie Boys - Check your head
Another tribute to a classic album from a ground-breaking group.
Beatles - Abbey Road
Perhaps the most well-known album cover of all time, Abbey Road by The Beatles was the band’s 11th album released in 1969.
Bjork - debut
Here the MS Paint artist has recreated the image, but added a touch of colour and glamour to her jumper.
Bruce Springsteen - Born in the USA
A simple piece of album artwork was simply recreated in this classic piece of MS Paint mastery and we’re sure that Bruce Springsteen would approve.
Michael Jackson -Thriller
The MS Paint tribute appears to cast a sadness over Jackson’s face that wasn’t there in the original photography.
Ramones
Debut album by the Ramones captures the punk rock band leaning up against a wall. This impressive recreation is actually impressively close to the original.
Led Zepplin
This iconic image also appeared on a great deal of the band’s later merchandise and can be seen here in this MS Paint tribute to the release.
The White Stripes are an alternative rock band, so perhaps this is just an alternative take on their artwork.
The Chronic By Dr Dre
We’re not sure this album cover does the original justice, though to be fair the original artwork was nearly was just as simple.
