Lets lighten the mood on CS and move away from spats about whether an ex boxing champ is a great mate or a bad ass.
There are quite a few members on here that like their rock music. So what is the best studio rock album and rock album cover? I shall start the ball rolling with one that possibly is a contestant for top spot on both.

Always be yourself, unless you can be Aaron Rodgers....Then always be Aaron Rodgers.

One of my favorite albums. Can't just pick one.
Best art would be Cut Copy's Zonoscope. They are hardly hardly a rock band but what a beauty this is.

Tankard -- Hair Of The Dog

All the Iron Maiden 'Eddie' covers are great. Think my favourite is probably The Trooper. The Aces High singles cover is fantastic too, drew it on the cover of one of my school books.
The downside of digital downloads and even CDs is the demise of the album cover.0 -

Agreed. A staggeringly good album and an iconic album cover
Blackmore a genius guitar player, Powell a powerhouse drummer and Dio probably the best heavy rock vocalist
Great stuff.
How sad that only Blackmore is still alive
They were on the brink of reforming in 1998 when Cozy Powell was killed0 -
Bat out of hell- meat loaf
Brilliant cover art. Adorned millions of jackets if I remember well. Album a bit overblown but title track a classic
Queen- news of the world. A hard edged album in the middle of the punk era. How we are the champions never got to no 1 is beyond me.
Some hidden gems on here . All dead all dead a beautiful song......0 -

personally think the cover for Killers was the best out of the Maiden covers,really liked the covers for Magnum, done by Rodney Mathews
bit of a change Beastie Boys Ill Comunication,plane crashing into a wall,supposed to be a spliff being stubbed out0 -

For one of the best rock bands ever, Black Sabbath have some remarkably bad album covers. Maybe they think the music should do the talking, which obviously it does. But really.......

Whitesnake, though I've never been a fan of them do employ some good artists to produce quite provocative album covers...

Cervelo S5 Ultegra Di2.0

Good rock albums are directly proportional to the amount of hair on the cover...
Cinderella - Night Songs
Poison - look what the cat dragged in
Motley Crue - Shout at the devil
