Abbey road is a very iconic album cover. Specially with all the hype behind it from the paul is dead theories to the “symbolism” of the departure of the band leaving abby road. Not to mention the fact that if you’ve even been by there its an almost impossible shot to take haha. based on the cover alone I voted on abby road being “iconic”.
I will say there is a big lean toward pink floyd for me as an album like abbey road its an album to be listened to every track back to back. Dark side of the moon has a better flow though. It seems to be more planned out as an altogether piece rather than with the beatles (self admitting) piecing together a bunch of riffs at the back end. I grew up with dark side around my house in different formats. so it does have an “iconic” impact on me. Dont forget to rock it with the wizard of oz!!
Dark Side of the Moon has a prism with a light divided into colors that seems mysterious in a good way; to me it looks like the cover for a science textbook or a (science-)fiction/education movie.
I voted for Abbey Road because i think it represents the traveling band in general; they’re going places, and playing gigs in some unusual venues; perhaps about a band talking about their songs in their vehicle or practice spaces.
Pink Floyd stomps the little bugs in all regards.
