Ukulele Songs by Eddie Vedder voted best album cover

According to our AlbumArtExchange Blog poll, the best album cover for the week of May 31, 2011 is Ukulele Songs by Eddie Vedder. The cover won with 48% of the vote. Codes and Keys by Death Cab for Cutie was a distant second with 24%. A Scarcity of Miracles by Jakszyk, Fripp & Collins was third with 12%.

The winning cover features a photograph of the underwater sculpture The Lost Correspondent by Jason deCaires Taylor. Until I researched the Vedder album cover, I was unfamiliar with Taylor's work. Check out his official website for more amazing examples of his work. My favorite is the man watching TV (above right). It must have been difficult to select just one of Taylor's sculptures for an album cover.

Check back this evening to vote for the best album cover from among this week's new music releases. This week we have covers by Death Cab for Cutie, Iron Maiden, Depeche Mode and a couple that you probably won't be expecting.
