Beastie+Boys:+License+To+Ill Back in the time of vinyl, this cover was a bit more striking. The album went on to sell over six million copies, who knows how many were based solely on the strength of its cover. Herb+Alpert+&+The+Tijuana+Brass:+Whipped+Cream+And+Other+Delights It is actually shaving cream on model Delores Erickson here, but that bit of trivia does little to diminish the cool of the 1965 album cover. As the rest of the band looks menacingly at the camera, Scott is chuckling, offset from the rest of the band, at lead guitarist, Angus Young dressed as the devil, with tail in hand.
AC/DC:+Highway+To+Hell The last album to feature Bon Scott also features their best cover. Parental Advisory sticker or not, being caught by your mom with this one in your collection likely landed you grounded. 2+Live+Crew:+As+Nasty+As+They+Wanna+Be As misogynistic and over the top as it is, there is no denying the impact of this polarizing cover from the first album to be deemed legally obscene.
After careful consideration of reader suggestions and our original selections, here is our alphabetical list of the fifty most iconic album covers of all time. Perhaps the best suggestions came from KawiNinjaZX, who suggested a few additional bands and the idea of expanding the list to fifty. Most were covers that we considered, but were varying degrees from making the list. Great album covers can burn into your mind just as easily as the music they contain, giving you a visual representation of the kind of sonic adventure the artist is about to take you on.Īfter making our initial list of the twenty-five most iconic, there were loads of great suggestions from readers.
