The cover that seems to have the most meaning is the one for ‘Wind & Wuthering’. What we see is a tree, surrounded by fog, with prominent clouds in the background. The meaning of this album is completely up to the reader. One could take the cover as the tree is all alone, and that the fog shows its confusion with the world. The tree does not understand why it is all alone. Two members of Genesis, Tony Banks and Steve Hackett, both have said in previous interviews that this album was their favorite.
What makes an album cover so effective is its ability to spark interest to a possible buyer. The cover is the first thing someone sees in an album. A good cover should have an artistic vision while at the same time relating to the album. It should almost pose a question that you want answered. I believe that the cover for Wind & Wuthering does this, as it asks me ‘Why Am I Shown This Place?’
