I dont know what it is but for some reason VS is my favorite PJ cover art by a long shot. That picture just screams "Pearl Jam" for me.

    It perfectly captured the moment for what the band was going through. Great album cover!

    i love when people explain it to me. "you know the one with the llama or whatever on the cover?" or "the album with that dog/sheep thing!"

    I've said this on here before, but it took me years to realize that the legs/feet on the back are human.

    Don't know what kind of zoo your going too but when I see a sheep, ewe, lamb, goat or whatever, a zoo is not one of the first things that come to mind. Unless you're going to a petting zoo I guess.

    I always wondered why there was no "where are they now" about the sheep like they did for the Nirvana baby...I mean..I could be wearing him right now! :D

    I like this Vs. but nothing compares to Vitalogy for me. I was only 8 years old when that album came out and I remember to this day seeing the vinyl in a local record shop (before the actual CD came out). I looked at it in amazement wondering why it only had one word on the cover. Who knew that would become my favorite album by my favorite band?

    The llama doesn't like his picture being taken.
