A good album cover can inspire, astound and disturb, or at its best, make you want to purchase a record without ever hearing the music. As seen in Issue #39, on stands now, our expert reviewers have handpicked three of their favorite album covers of all time. The clear winners here are The Rolling Stones, with three mentions for three different albums, but The Velvet Underground and punk legends Dead Kennedys also come out on top. So, from the provocative nature of Chocolate and Cheese, to the now infamous London Calling, here are the reviewers’ picks.
