    I would go with three of the earlier choices: Dark Side of the Moon, Abbey Road and Nevermind.

    Thriller and some of the others are very important or popular albums, but the covers standing alone are not pure iconic rock history the way these three images are.

    My other two would be:



    This album cover encapsulated the meaning of punk in everyones mind (even though it was not much of an album) The cover of the first Ramones album would be close too.

    and



    You youngsters have no idea how controversial and famous this cover was back in the day.

    My parents had that album. As a pre-teen I studied that cover for many many hours. And then cherry topped sundaes were never the same.

    Everyone has their opinion. But mine is...

    1. Michael Jackson: Thriller

    2. Stevie Wonder: Songs in the Key of Life. (I used to be litteraly afraid of this album as a little kid)

    To me this one more than some girls, because there was an actual zipper on the LP cover.

    Abbey and Dark Side seem the two big ones. Sgt. Pepper also.

    Thriller too.

    U2 was a good choice.

    I'd add Bruce Springsteen's Born in the USA.

    The first four were easy. The last one I actually had to think about. I'll give it to Zeppelin.
