VH1'S Top 50 Album Covers

What the hell were they smokin when they came up with this list? Or should I say, what weren't they smoking? weed
Their list is garbage! Not one Funkadelic or Parlaiment cover! disbelief I know Pedro Bell is Pissed. Well at least Prince made the list at Number 18 with Purple Rain which I think is probably one of his worst! Well besides "Prince" lol


Let's make our own list. I'll start. biggrin

well, i'm sure you guys all think that these pictures you're posting are nice covers (and many of them are).



but i think part of the point of the list was to acknowledge the instantly recognizable, often-copied, iconic covers that have become a part of popular culture.



which many of the ones you guys are posting in this thread are... decidedly not.

Well, almost every 'credible' albums cover list I've seen includes one Bjork and Joy Division cover. They're just known for their album art. And Bowie has so many good ones. You can basically play pin the tail on the record.
