Best Album Covers (Remember Them?)

To continue a trend: Rolling Stone Magazine has now published a reader survey driven or rather reader nominated, top album covers of all time list.

This is spite of the fact that most people these days have never seen a proper album cover seeing as they down load their music, with the cover 'cover' being a separate file to be barely glanced at. Or their music is streamed onto a device that renders the album art work a tiny picture, again just barley glanced at.

Of course lets not forget those terrible pull out CD inserts: did they make them so you could not get them out of those crappy palstic cases without ripping them apart? A great way to look at the album cover.

And no, we do not have Pandora.com outside the US, so all that great music discovery online with  the album covers is denied the rest of the world.

Music business = bunch of wasters.

Back to the collection: they are fine enough collection in themselves but not one of them would make it in my list.

Where's the original 1969 Santana cover? For example...
