Album covers may be dying, but I'm not ready to write them off just yet...especially if digital downloads (individual tracks or actual whole albums) continue to be tagged with artwork. Probably in a few years, this Ten Favorites list will be reformulated into "Ten Favorite Digital Download JPGs"! As far as albums go, it's true, most consumers actually buying physical CDs don't care about the art on the outside. But the bigger problem is many consumers don't care enough about the music on the inside. And I suspect that some artists and record companies also don't care enough. Is it any wonder album sales are reported way down? At least for now, we have something good to look at on our device of choice. Like a Bob Ross painting. 20 for 20, with 0:04 to spare (Stupid Diamond Dogs!)

It's an afterthought for most consumers (those who still buy CDs at all). The imagery of iconic album covers from Revolver to Nevermind will soon be long forgotten.
