Radiohead: The Bends (1995) This band's acclaimed second album features a cover by longtime collaborator Stanley Donwood, whom singer Thom Yorke met at college. Though Yorke had hoped to use an image of an iron lung for the cover, he apparently lost the picture. At the last minute, Donwood morphed Yorke's visage with a photo he had made of a resuscitation dummy: "It had this strange mix of agony and ecstasy on its rubbery face," he recalled. A perfect visual counterpart for The Bends. --JH
