Just ran into this on their site.

Interesting info regarding the album cover photos including some background info on the band and how/why the album covers where shot. I just learned that the kid who was pictured on U2's Album "War" is actually a photographer himself today..

Click on each image cover for the additional info:

    Interesting site, brings back memories.

    Glad to see Captain Beefheart finally made a top 100 list.

    Even Zappa's Hot Rats cover made the list.

    Where's Pantera's Vulgar Display of Power? In my mind the best metal album cover ever...

    Cool list though.
