Billboard: The Fame Monster ranked 45th greatest album cover of all time

[XoXoJoanneGaga 629]

45. Lady Gaga, 'The Fame Monster' (2009)

Portrait shots can be iconic when done just right, and if there’s one artist who knows about iconic imagery, it’s Lady Gaga. For the re-release of her debut The Fame, Mother Monster -- framed by a white wig -- went black and white, rocking a shiny, angular coat that shrouded the lower half of her face.

Those are pretty great covers. They were both done by Kanye's design team. But I agree they shouldn't be that high.

Only #45? Flop list tbh

Less is often more

I only agree with some of them...

I think ARTPOP, Blackout, Dangerous and Celebration are all missing...

And why is beyonce even on that list?

In some cases, yes. Not in these cases. Especially Beyonce's

THE NEVER ENDING PRAISE :applause:

It is a flawess cover tho

[Phantomhive 1,976]

Why Beyonce tho? I like the album but that basic ass cover

Beyonce's is iconic. The font alone. It can actually be remembered because of how bold and simplistic it is. It's not try hard and is doing nothing but encompassing the album. None of that extra stuff.

You wanna tell me that Blackout's messy cover is more deserving than BEYONCE?

WELL DESERVED! The Fame Monster is definitely my favorite album cover from Gaga, and one of my favorite album covers of all time. It's a very defining image for Gaga; it's just so iconic! 

Off-topic: but I can't believe that Teenage Dream isn't on that list! It's the only album cover from the new millennium along with The Fame Monster which is worthy of being in this list.

Born This Way? ARTPOP? The industry is really laughable seeing as how those iconic covers weren't on there but albums like Beyoncé were. I mean, wow, 7 letters in a purple font, so iconic. I mean I like the album, but in reality ARTPOP should've been on that list at least.

ALL I'M SAYING is that if ARTPOP had sold as much as TFM, its cover would be there too.
