record covers with no connection to the music

aren't half of all record covers like this?

not sure, and anyway it's subjective.

but clearly opposite covers do exist: like a funny cover for sad music and vice versa..
a generic metal cover for a different genre album etc..

I thought Jack Johnson was a s/trk of sorts to a film about a black boxer from the early 20th century who I would assume that was a depiction of. If not s/trk then the music was inspired by the character or something along those lines.

yeah, that's jack johnson on the cover (maybe the cartooniness is not fitting for the music)
this is the miles cover I thought of

miles hated it and had it replaced, perhaps with good reason. but i do like that lady's hat.

But the Beach Boys are at a "Pet"ting zoo.

but does that look like industrially bleak urban landscapes to you? There seems to be an air if melancholy pervading that lp in places that i don't think is well represented by feeding animals at a petting zoo. But maybe that's just a lure.

Mike Love's there, though.

In the new Miles box The Original Mono Recordings, that white-lady-out-sailing cover has been put back on Miles Ahead.

it is an album about ungulate seances

astral communication with deceased livestock in surf psych

Totally confused by Jack Johnson inclusion?!?! That's Jack Johnson on the cover of an album called Jack Johnson! What's hard to connect there?
