we don't have it now. The prism art has been replaced by a photo-realistic actual glass prism. Looks tacky. iTunes refuses to let me get the original artwork back.

Nonsense. We'll never have iconic record covers because one studio stopped, and one genre isn't interested in them?

If you want powerful and iconic, take a look at the burning monk on Rage Against the Machine.

Of course every cover is unique, and I don't doubt that covers have become less important, saying we'll never have that kind of iconic cover is silly.

I see that your problem is iTunes. Easier to get rid of that.
