Iconic Album Covers Recreated With Socks

Now this is an entertaining way to spend laundry day. Neatorama pointed us towards The Sock Covers, a very clever Tumblr devoted to recreating famous and iconic album covers with, you guessed it, socks. Sure, it’s not high art, but it’s goofy and cute and irreverent in all the right ways — if a sock-version of Warhol’s iconic banana on The Velvet Underground & Nico doesn’t make you at least crack a smile, well, we just don’t know what to tell you. In addition, we have to say that we’re rather impressed by the anonymous author’s collection of socks. Click through to check out a few of our favorites from the project, and then head on over to The Sock Covers to see some more for yourself.

I'm not hip enough to get any of these besides the Kanye one
theratwhispers 20th-Aug-2012 12:52 am (UTC)
I got all of them. Oddly enough, Kanye is the only one I have never listened too.

You've seriously never even seen the Velvet Underground or Pink Floyd album covers? They're iconic parts of pop culture.

Yes. All they'd need is a sock that's crusty and yellowed with sweat and has been hidden away at the bottom of the hamper because no one wants to touch it anymore.

angelakinsey 20th-Aug-2012 12:58 am (UTC)
I don't understand why people are claiming they don't recognize some of these. Like Pink Floyd and Rolling Stones? What?
moddchicc 20th-Aug-2012 12:59 am (UTC)
LOL, I recognized all of them too
enid_keaner 20th-Aug-2012 01:00 am (UTC)
I get them all too, but I'm 26, so it's doesn't mean you're old!
