Best Bauhaus Album Covers, (Listen Bauhaus on Spotify).
Bauhaus were an influential post-punk band from the United Kingdom that was short-lived but highly influential. Their album covers are some of the most iconic in music history, and this article will explore which is their best. (See the search results for best on Rankito).
Bauhaus formed in 1979, but broke up due to creative differences just three years later in 1982. This was a shame because the band was very productive and successful during those three years. They only released four studio albums. But they are considered to be some of the best albums of all time by many critics and fans.
Six words that accurately describe the Bauhaus were “purity, simplicity, honesty, functionality, and lack of decoration”. These six words are also used to describe their album covers.
The album covers combine the elements of modernism and minimalism to create powerful visuals that represent the different emotions and moods of each song.
There are a few exceptions where there is text on the cover but it is usually just the song title or artist’s name.
