    Was having a chat with mates today about the best album covers of all time. So when I got home I went searching for answers. Rolling Stone Magazine has listed a top 100 headed by the Beatles Sgt. Peppers with the Sex Pistols Never Mind The Bollocks as their second choice. The Beatles White Album was third. I guess the fame of these might be due to the band's status, so who do you folk think deserves the best Album Cover title?

    The Rolling Stone list.

    The Beatles album covers, like their music, were crass.

    I went to see GWAR, not sure if it is true that the name was meant to mean God What A Racket but they were certainly loud. Covered in fake blood that didn't wash out for weeks.

    <applause> The most over rated musical perfomers and writers since Mozart.

    Haven't got a link to it but best album cover ever is Knife by Aztec Camera.

    I take it by your twisted logic that you are, in fact, a massive fan of the Beatles?
