My example is Roger Dean from"YES" do people buy the albums because Roger Dean made their covers? Would people buy the album because the artist who made the cover is well known for the art he makes?

It definitely catches the eye.
With the onset of digital media, though, cover art is lost now. You're seeing more and more generic head and face shots on the album covers. Look at all the American Idol-related albums : each album cover is identical, just a different person posing for it. Boring and vanilla.

For some, yes, the artist behind the sleeve will be a compelling reason to purchase the CD. I would say it's not very common though, especially when you consider that the info on who did the cover artwork may only be visible in the inner sleeve, which can generally only be viewed upon purchase.

I separate the track from the guy making it, to a extensive degree. there are various rock stars who're jerks, that's component to rock and roll. i think of the n-word is reprehensible, and it shows something deep with regard to the character of the consumer. whether, i does not blacklist an artist from my playlist for having been properly-known to utter it as quickly as. exceedingly on account that Costello is British, the place the word isn't community. there have been racist musicians, and homophobic ones, and ignorant ones. many times the worst offenders are additionally not very stable musicians, so no predicament comes up. yet "finished Lotta Shakin' Goin On'" is my in demand track between men who married 13-365 days-previous cousins, and there are various different super songs with the aid of people who're reprehensible characters in genuine existence. I have no undertaking with listening to Phil Spector archives, or perhaps Charles Manson's albums. they are stable or interesting track. i think of the two belong in detention center. yet those are the boys, not the track. i'm not gonna draw close posters of them on my wall, or deliver them autograph requests or something. yet "Be My toddler" belongs to me and everybody else who loves it, to not Phil Spector. track is track. I physique of strategies it on those words.
