CD covers are said to be an extension of the music conveyed in the album. Yesterday I saw a program on VH1 which showcased the top50 cd covers. The first was Rolling Stones' Sticky fingers. It portrayed a close up of the crotch of a man complete with working zipper. Who's Next by The Who came next with a picture of a monolith on which the ban had releaved themselves! Top ten included Madonna, Prince etc...
Here are some covers that I like from the show and the cover of Appetite for Destruction By Guns N Roses which was a glaring omission from the list.
