Yeah, you have to marvel at what posessed a band, who were struggling to shake off an image as a joke band, to release what was actually a very, very good album with that unbelieably ****e cover.

All of The smiths album covers were stunning apart from strangeways here we come with The world wont listen, A hatful of Hollow and The Smiths been particlarly fetching.

I've always thought Louder than Bombs:

was far and away the best.

My favourite cover of any album that I can think of at the moment is:

Megadeath's Killing Is My Business cover is just terrible considering the band wanted to be like. Its really lazy and cartoonish.
