Not going to do a full list but suffice to say, although I love Eldorado to bits, the cover is just terrible.BOP gets an honourable mention for being bloody rubbish too.... Sharon Osbourne won’t be happy timeblue.

I'm not keen on the Eldorado cover either. It might be ok but certainly not as wonderful as people make it out to be. But saying that, I can't think what else the cover could have looked like.

Why Armchair Theatre but not Long Wave? I never think of Long Wave. You have to think of Long Wave.

Eldorado means land of gold (or something similar) so maybe something gold themed.. Something reflecting the album's themes perhaps.
Maybe some knights or something mythical or Arthurian.

Eldorado... What cover would be appropriate for an album about a dreamer, other than a still from one of the most famous films about a dream... Said it before, and I don't mind saying it again... When I saw it advertised in the bumpf that came with the Xanadu album, I knew I had to have Eldorado. It's one of my favourite album covers of all time. So there!

...and The Wizard Of Oz is one of my all time favourite films but I just don't get this cover.

Eldorado is my favorite album. But, I don't display the album or wear a shirt with it on it, because I've gotten "Oh, I didn't know you liked The Wiz of Oz THAT much".
