Good Bye Mr. Thorgerson

Defeated by a cancer, Storm Thorgerson died yesterday, at 69

A childhood friend of Pink Floyd, the artist designed many album covers for the band, but he is most probably famous thanks to Pink Floyd masterpiece: 'The Dark Side Of The Moon'. 

Pink Floyd, 'The Dark Side Of The Moon', 1973

As Pink Floyd's Dave Gilmour said: 'We first met in our teens. We would gather at Sheep's Green, a spot by the river in Cambridge and Storm would always be there holding forth, making the most noise, bursting with ideas and enthusiasm. Nothing has ever really changed."

Thorgerson has also been the author of album covers of many artists such as Muse, Led Zeppelin, Peter Gabriel, Dream Theater, Audioslave... and many more. 

Here some of his works:

Muse, 'Absolution'-2003

Led Zeppelin, 'Houses of the Holy', 1973

Peter Gabriel, 'Peter Gabriel I', 1977

Dream Theater, 'Falling Into Infinity', 1997

Audioslave, 'Audioslave', 2002
