Maybe what they mean is iconic. But iconic doesn't always mean great, especially in visual art form. Iconic is akin to recogniseable, and undyingly replicated. :shrug:

I agree with this.  I don't know that these covers are the best, but some are iconic.  The Blink 182 and Nirvana covers were iconic in the 90s. The Abbey Road cover is iconic in general as I feel it's one of the images most people associate with the Beatles.

I really don't see why everyone is getting so worked up here.... Gaga is on the list of the greatest covers with a great cover and she's in the company of some of the greatest artists in history and some of the best known and most iconic covers of all time.

Sure, I understand that fans think that Gaga has the best cover of all times and that she should have more covers than anyone else, but yo have to see things from outside the fan perspective.

The list is just an opinion on the abstract idea of something being "the greatest" and she made the list. There is nothing to complain about.

People defending the covers for Born This Way and ARTPOP :laughga:

The Fame Monster is iconic and its her best album cover, both of them. Chromatica is up there though as her best, it simply slays!

The covers by Grace Jones, Fleetwood Mac, Joy Division & Blink 182 should have been higher. They're so recognisable and unique.

I would defend Born This Way (the motorcycle one). It's so bad it's good. From the cheap photoshop to the Windows 98 font, it screams 80s/90s I'm into graphic design. It suits the sound of the album so well.    Fame Monster is iconic though. And she has surpassed herself with Chromatica.

Kind regards

What kind of list is that lmao. They should change the title to "Albums whose covers are famous" it would make more sense.

Also imagine not including these two

Any Björk album cover could be on the top 10 easily. I'd choose Homogenic, though... it's incredible.

Yes, I honestly love them because I love Gaga, because otherwise... let's be real.

Whats so dissapointing is that she had so many good photos hoots to choose from and choose something so tacky to represent the album. If I could choose one thing she could change in her career it's that awful cover. Sure it screams 80s hair metal but it's so terrible and cheaply done.

Surprised there isn't a Queen cover on the list tbh. I feel like pretty much everyone would recognise their imagery.
