  Although Dark Side Of The Moon is the obvious choice for most `Wish You Were Here` is still my fav album and cover,today i can still look at it and shake my head in disbelief at how strange it looks.

  A Momentary Lapse Of Reason was pretty mind-blowing. Those beds are real, it must've taken ages to put that one together. I've always loved the work he did for Muse too. Truly sublime talent.

  Hipgnosis made the best album covers of the 70s imo...

  I'm pretty sure he did the cover for Led Zeppelin's 'Presence' album.

  The sleeve of my copy just says "Sleeve by Hipgnosis and Hardie" though Storm did work for Hipgnosis.

  RIP. Storm was, in many ways, a sixth member of Pink Floyd and he kept on producing art for various bands long after Floyd split up. Album art will never be the same again.
