The Stylishly Alternative Covers

Fatboy Slim: Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars (2000) The title is an adaptation of an Oscar Wilde quote -- "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars" -- and the photo is striking on its own. Combined, the interplay of words and image make a powerful statement on the role music plays in human sexuality and desire. Even if you're not familiar with the cover art, odds are you remember the video for "Weapon of Choice" from this album, featuring Christopher Walken dancing up and down walls. -- JMH
