Our Countdown Of The Coolest Album Covers Ever

6. Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles

Designer: Sir Peter Blake

We just can’t stay away from The Beatles! This is an obvious choice, but perhaps we are so used to it – so heavily has it been referenced and parodied – that we have forgotten just how brilliant a cover it is. Karl Marx, Marlon Brando and Marilyn Monroe made the final cut, Hitler, Ghandhi and Jesus didn’t (Hitler deemed too controversial, Jesus was too soon after Lennon’s claim that the band were bigger than the Son of God and Ghandhi was removed to ensure release in India). A genuine piece of art in its own right.

5. 1984 by Van Halen

Designer: Pete Angelus, Richard Seireeni, David Jellison, Margo Zafer Nahas

very naughty baby angel, with a mischievous look and cig in hand. Proof that Rock ‘n’ roll can corrupt anyone or anything. The Devil’s got the best tunes, but this Angel’s got Jump and Hot For Teacher underneath its cover.
