Question what does it mean?

to some of you this might be a stupid question but its bothering me. what do pinks album covers mean? i dont understand it. i mean theres a pig floating in the sky, a prism with lights going through it, a cow. also what in the world does the division bell cover mean? all kinds of crazy stuff. think someone can tell me what each album cover means (if its no trouble?)

You're kidding, right?

Step one: Read all you can on this site, from news, to history, to discography, then, if you have time, some of the discussion board.

Step two: In a week's time come back and YOU tell us what YOU think it all means. Yeah?

Enjoy, share and welcome.

i dont think a lot of people know this about DSOTM cover, but its the color spectrum or however u spell it. i dont know how to really explain it, because i dont fully understand it, but i think it's basically that all lights is white, and it comes out a color. thats what its showing on the cover, and the way i see animals. it's all about animals, and it uses nature in comparison to industry and capitalism. So, the pig flying is basically comparing the nature to the industry. thats how i see it, and the cow, i have no idea wtf.

The cow is probably the only cover which means nothing. The cow is just a cow, according to Storm Thorgerson. If anyone's really interested in Pink Floyd covers and artwork you should read Storm's "Mind Over Matter".
