Also, I would have liked to see credit given to the people who designed these "world-changing" covers, not just the musicians (i'm not understating their role at all, though). That being said, it is a sweet list, but that sweetness is in the albums for some, the covers for others. Rage Against the Machine ?Self-Titled ?Evil Empire ^^^Both ridiculously well-designed and thought-out covers. Also, check out Milton Glaser's (renowned graphic designer and illustrator) work for Bob Dylan.
