PINK FLOYD - DARK SIDE OF THE MOON
It's difficult to imagine Pink Floyd's seminal masterpiece 'Dark Side Of The Moon' being quite so iconic if the original artwork had been chosen over Storm Thorgerson's evocative prism design.
This piece, depicting a fat nudist with his dick out in front of a mountain, however, was the brainchild of front man David Gilmour who claimed - "this is what I had in mind when I was writing the album".
Gilmour was said to be bitterly disappointed with the final design and still believes the album would have sold even more copies if he hadn't been overruled by the rest of the band.
Gilmour refuses to have any copies of the official version in his house, only acknowledging this as the official packaging for the album.
