This week, The Guardian asked its readers to nominate their worst album sleeves and you can see the ones that made the final list here. Surprisingly, the one above didn’t make the final cut, but some truly awful covers did. I agreed with most of the choices, though I was surprised to see The White Album by The Beatles on the list. It’s certainly as simple a cover as you can get, but I think it’s become one of the most iconic sleeves in rock music. In fact, it made it to number three on a list of BEST album covers published by Rolling Stone magazine in 1991. The top five of that list also contains my two favourite albums by The Rolling Stones and my third favourite album by that band begins a list of six of my own least favourite album covers
