Great artwork can either entice you to check out the great music contained within, or trick you into thinking you're going to listen to good music, but instead you get music that's not so good. I don't think it really matters what the art looks like though. It can set a good or bad first impression (whether it's a Renaissance painting or a bathroom wall covered in graffiti and piss), but it's the music in the long run that's important obviously.
