I really thought Emotional Rescue would be number one.

Other than Nirvana, I wouldn't have contemplated any of those. That fucking Warhol banana? WTF'ing Piss'ng Christ? Banana. Banana fo' fanana, whacka mana.

Stones fan to the core, but why is a crotch shot on SF a great album cover, even if it had a zipper?

I'm voting for The WHO pissing in the plinth, circa Who's Next. And Tosh's Bush Doctor - that freaks me the fuck out to this very goddam day.

The Ramones by The Ramones, to me is the best album cover ever.

I just remembered I bought some plantains on Saturday, and forgot them in the trunk of my car. I wonder if they're still any good?

Rolling Stones Now! is a sharp record cover, as is Exile.

A great album cover is one that you'd wear on a t shirt.

As far as the Stones go, many would fit the bill. Gimme Exile, Sticky Fingers, Bigger Bang, and any of the early albums.

The only album cover i ever had on a t shirt was The Ramones First...( Hey Paul!!)

Sticky Fingers would be cool...
