Sticksboi05 Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 Well, since nobody wants to, you know, make a list, I will. In no order: Honestly there could be three Beatles covers. Leaving out the white album feels wrong as it too is extremely well-known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predicto Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I would go with three of the earlier choices: Dark Side of the Moon, Abbey Road and Nevermind. Thriller and some of the others are very important or popular albums, but the covers standing alone are not pure iconic rock history the way these three images are. My other two would be: This album cover encapsulated the meaning of punk in everyones mind (even though it was not much of an album) The cover of the first Ramones album would be close too. and You youngsters have no idea how controversial and famous this cover was back in the day.

Dan T. Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 and http://i.imgur.com/jpoJJ.jpg (Herb Albert) You youngsters have no idea how controversial and famous this cover was back in the day. My parents had that album. As a pre-teen I studied that cover for many many hours. And then cherry topped sundaes were never the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM72 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Everyone has their opinion. But mine is... 1. Michael Jackson: Thriller 2. Stevie Wonder: Songs in the Key of Life. (I used to be litteraly afraid of this album as a little kid) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
