The Wailers and Grace Jones makes Rolling Stone 100 Best Album Covers of All Time list

The Wailers and Grace Jones have made the Rolling Stone magazine’s 100 Best Album Covers of All Time list.

The list was revealed on July 18 features a wide array of artist and musicians from Biggie to Beyoncé to Bad Bunny, from Nirvana to Nas to Neil Young.

The album is one of the best invention of the past century, hands down — but the music isn’t the whole story. The album cover has been a cultural obsession as long as albums have. Ever since 12-inch vinyl records took off in the 1950s, packaged in cardboard sleeves, musicians have been fascinated by the art that goes on those covers, and so have fans. When the Beatles revolutionized the game with the cover of Sgt. Pepper, in 1967, it became a way to make a visual statement about where the music comes from and why it matters. But the art of the album cover just keeps evolving.
