On Friday, we lamented the disappearance of striking cover art and asked you, the music fan, what your favorite album covers are. The result is a list of our collective twenty-five favorite record covers — but rather than tell you what they are, were showing you what they are. Check out the gallery of winners right here, and because there were so many passionate feelings about this rather personal topic, check after the jump for some RS staffers lists of favorites (they’re all subject to change, too).
