Best Scorpions Album Covers,
Scorpions are a group from Germany that are famous for their hard rock music. They have released many albums over the years which have varying levels of success. The sound of their music is very distinctive and it has created a strong following for them.
The Scorpions have had many memorable albums over the years but I would like to talk about five of my favorites. These five albums, in my opinion, help define them as one of the best hard rock bands ever to exist. The first album I want to mention is “Hooked on Rock”. This was one of their earlier works and it has songs like “Rock You Like A Hurricane” which helped them become a household name back in the ’80s. “Tokyo Tapes”, the second album is equally good with songs like “Holiday”.
The best Scorpions album covers are usually a mix of black and white with red accents. This can be seen on their 1979 release, Lovedrive, as well as their 1982 release, Blackout. But the most interesting cover is probably for their 1976 release, Virgin Killer, which features a naked girl in front of a black background with the band’s name written in red on her back.
