36. R.E.M: 'Chronic Town' (1982) - Dating back to the very earliest days of REM, the cover for the 'Chronic Town' EP is bold, simple and attention grabbing. Featuring a stone gargoyle with an extremely bored, indifferent expression on its face, the 'Chronic Town' artwork fits in with the abstract theme that REM adopted for the whole of their 80s output. The two-tone blue and black colour scheme plus the Gothic typeface add to the enigmatic atmosphere it evokes.
