In 2007, a pair of British wisecrackers had a great idea: Let's reproduce album covers using the primitive art software Microsoft Paint!
This excellent idea inspired other artists to do the same, and now almost 1,800 album covers are posted onto PaintMyAlbum.net. Here are 10 instant classics. Think you can do better? Send your own submissions to paintmyalbum@gmail.com.

That Bjork one is awesome.
I'm calling it - Stacy James totally ripped off Napoleon Dynamite on the Bjork cover.
Awesome - I'm a huge fan of MS Paint.
The Ryan Adams version is actually an improvement. All these just make me feel better about ordering a Mac last week.
