Classic Album Covers Get the ‘Star Wars’ Treatment

I Find Your Lack of Bass Disturbing.

There was a time when album cover art was just as important as the music on the vinyl within.

In an age of digital downloads, we've mostly passed the era of detailed and iconic album covers, although many of us can still identify famous albums, bands, or even singles from the art on the front.

British graphic designer Steven Martin Lear has taken his passions for older music and Star Wars and mashed them together into an awesome art project that peppers his social media accounts on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Can you identify these classic albums from Lear's reimagined cover art?

Rock out to these awesome Star Wars-inspired albums!

Nirvana

Love how he switched around the album title into Yoda talk here.

Michael Jackson

Who knew that with all his money and free time Lando was producing solo albums with Cloud City Records?

Coldplay

One of my personal favorites. The Death Star looks just like the globe on the front of Parachutes.

Adele

Just like George Takei and a handful of other parodies, I love seeing Leia on the front of Adele's new 25.

Lady Gaga

All Jar Jar needs is one of Lady Gaga's crazy wigs...

Joan Jett

The ascot. That suit. Amazing.

Tina Turner

Come to think of it, Oola really does remind me of Tina Turner. Would have loved to see a small Hutt on a leash instead of the cat, just for the sake of turning the tables.

Bruce Springsteen

"I love this album." "I know."

Nirvana

If I saw this one in passing, I wouldn't have even been able to tell it apart from the original. Spot on!

Fleetwood Mac

Looking back at the original album cover for Rumours, I think he might actually be holding a Death Star.

The Smiths

Well played, well played.

Bob Dylan

Featuring "Bounty Huntin' in the Wind."

Captain Beefheart

Considering Admiral Ackbar's official species is "Mon Calamari," this trout joke is well played.

AC/DC

Favorite.

The Notorious B.I.G.

For future generations...
