I'm surprised that a cover that looks like a giant hairy vagina (like my ex mother in law's) didn't make #1!!
And Coldplay at #5?? Gimme a break. You just KNOW they stole that artwork from someone else.

well, I 've seen quite some pussy in the past 10 years, and none looked like DM's cover. Maybe you should be more selective when you pick up girls ... all I see is a hole in the ground in the shape of a coffin.

Testament's The Formation of Damnation and Amon Amarth's Twilight of the Thunder God. Both covers for Soulfly's Conquer were pretty cool as well.

Best cover artwork, are they kidding? Most of the albums on the list have some of the crappiest album covers I've seen in a long while, not only Metallica or Guns...
It shows it's just another list based on band popularity, like who's the best drummer or what's the best album. Shitty lists...

The list looks more like a popularity contest of who's hot right now rather than an actual judgement of album artwork.

It's number one on the world charts. Yes, there is better taste in countries other than America when it comes to music. Kanye was like number 3 in the world, with 90% of his sales coming from the U.S.
That pretty much sums it up.

"After the start of the christmas season, the album sales growing up globally. The current top-40 list is leaded by the long awaited new Guns n' Roses' set 'Chinese Democracy' and sales of 640.000 copies. Behind follows Kanye West's '808s & Heartbreak', which started on first week-sales of 546.000 copies. The Killers' 'Day & Age' bows at No.3 with 486.000 copies. Last chart-topper Beyoncé's 'I Am... Sasha Fierce' throws down at No.4 (359.000 copies). Rounding out the top tier is Nickelback's 'Dark Horse', which slides 2-5 (310.000 copies)."

of a magazine Rolling Stone is!! Everyone on that list should be thankful the Dave Matthews Band doesn't have a new CD out now, cause I'm sure that cover would be #1. Rolling Stone loves them some DMB!!
And both Metallica and the Axl Rose band covers suck!!

And a big hairy pxxxy?
OkiDoki.
Saints of Los Angeles>>>>>Both Death Pathetic & Chinese Hypocrisy
Chinese Hypocrisy has some amazing bits of music but
IT AIN'T Guns 'n Roses,it would've got better respond
& respect if the album was released for what it is,
Axl's solo project.
The legacy of the great GnR is now forever destroyed.
And what in the hell has happened to Axl's voice,does he
eat razorblades for breakfast!?
It actually hurts listening to him nowadays.
Wish I could turn the album instrumental.
In my dreams I also wish they would've taken the best
songs off the UYI albums into one giant masterpiece with the
appetite lineup and call it quitz after that!
Death Pathetic has one kickass song & it sounds like
a very good "'Tallica doing a Slayer cover",guess what song?
S.O.L.A has some weak songs but at least half of it is
thei're best work since "Feelgood" or even since S.A.T.D!
Speaking of Motley Crue,The Heroin Diaries proves that
Nikki Sixx is nothing but a genius songwriter & lyricist!
"The Heroin Diaries">>>>>Both ChiDem & Death Pathetic
