Looking for Album covers that reference/appropriate famous/previous artworks.
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

The Velvet Underground, another first, another selftitled, features an original artwork by Andy Warhol. The banana on the original '67 edition was a sticker which, when peeled off, revealed a pink banana fruit:

This is an interesting one: Closer, a 1980 album by Joy Division. It features a photo of a not particularly known work of art, the Appiani family tomb in the Cimitero Monumentale di Staglieno in Genoa, Italy, by a 19th Century Italian artist Demetrio Paernio:
