Psh, both the covers for Lovesexy and SOTT are way better than Dirty Mind.
The top ten on this is abysmal. Other than Abbey Road they could all be moved to top 110.
And I'm normally all for snubbing Smashing Pumpkins on a Rolling Stone list, but they had some damn good covers:

LAX's All My Love and Terry Callier's What Color Is Love? might be my favs tho:

Honorable mention to Millie Jackson's Back to the Shit as well. ALL snubs, my word... [Edited 11/27/23 3:02am] |

This might be the worst Rolling Stone list yet and that's no small feat. It's up there with the list from my high school days where they put like 9 Beatles albums in the Top 10.
I mean I'm one of the few orgers who genuinely likes rap, but most of these rap covers are just plain lame. |

I usually can't stand these lists but it's Billboard and not Rolling Stone so...click-bait activated ![lol](/i/s/icon_lol.gif)
Just like music, art is subjective so some of these seem like odd choices to include with "of all times". This list also has some iconic covers and safe chouces but I liked seeing a few funk and soul classics on the list.
Album covers are why I've spent years of my life in graphic design. Even though you shouldn't "judge a book by it's cover" some of my favorite albums I discovered just because of the cover. |

Quite a feat, considering this list might be the worst Rolling Stone has ever put out. When I think back to my high school yearbook, I can still see how they managed to get nine Beatles albums into the top ten. |
