VH1'a 50 greatest album covers, did anyone see it and what are your opinions?
I saw it, and thought that they missed out on alot of great album covers. I've seen greater ones than the ones they showed. Where the hell was the album covers from the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, the Moody Blues, Iron Maiden, Metallica, the Misfits, Megadeth, Bob Dylan, Jethro Tull, etc. And they could've picked better ones for Pink Floyd and Kiss. To me Wish You Were Here is the best Pink Floyd album cover and Destroyer is the best album cover for Kiss, not Dark Side of the Moon and Hotter Than Hell, but what do I know. I'm no expert, but I think they passed over alot of great album covers and picked alot of stupid ones. So what are all of your opinions?

I met him, fifteen years ago. I was told there was nothing left. No reason, no conscience, no understanding; even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, good or evil, right or wrong. I met this six-year-old child, with this blind, pale, emotionless face and, the blackest eyes... the Devil's eyes! I spent eight years trying to reach him, and then another seven trying to keep him locked up for I realized what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply... evil! - Dr Sam Loomis(Halloween)

I am a huge Kiss fan and Hotter than Hell is my least favorite cover. I am much more a fan of any of the big four mid-70's album covers like "Dressed to Kill", "Destroyer", "Love Gun" or "Rock and Roll Over".
I do agree that many are debatable at best. I would have chosen "In Through the Out Door" by Zeppelin over "Houses of the Holy" and what was so special about that one by the Who where they piss on the damn column? Big deal.
Prince's "Purple Rain"? It's just him on a bike. I don't get many of the selections, but I only saw from like 30 to 1...I missed the first twenty or so.

 The Dixie Chicks: Home. They are just standing there.
Some of my favorites are listed, Jane's Addiction, Nirvana. Overall this list is very weak though. I too would list Destroyer as the best KISS cover, followed by Creatures Of The Night and Love Gun. I can't believe they didn't include King Crimson's: In The Court Of The Crimson King. That is a classic cover. |

Very debatable list. Chalk up another vote for Destroyer as the best KISS album cover. I would have thought Megadeth's Youthanasia would have made the list. One of my favorites. Youthanasia |

Worst list ever!
How could anyone say the Blink 182 or Korn album covers are better than Sgt. Pepper or Satanic Majesty's Request ? (I can't remember if Sticky Fingers with the working zipper made the list.)

Larry, Sticky Fingers with the working Zipper was #1 on the list.

i wonder if andy warhol would have used a button fly it would have made the list?
lists like that always piss people off, that one is no exception. seems to have started from covers in the 70s, the 50s & 60s are nada.
