It may seem like sacrilege, but I always preferred the white RSVP cover to Beggars Banquet (perfect, especially w/ the great layout inside as contrast) to the rather dated toilet cover...Anyway:
Exile
England's Newest Hitmakers
Let It Bleed
Ya-Ya's
Through The Past Darkly (the orig. LP, naturally)
bonus: Some Girls, Sticky, Bridges 2 Babylon, Out Of Our Heads (US)

worst:
Flashpoint
No Security
IORR
Live Licks
Sucking In The Seventies

This is a hard one to answer fully, but I can say without hesitation that Sill Life and Dirty Work are the WORST album covers

I really like the Still Life cover. It should have been some good pictures on this inside, instead of something that looks like a teen-pop-poster. But the front and back is really good. I've always liked that stage-artwork. It remainds me of summer, and of Denmark. I've been to Denmark when I was 2 and when In was 6. I kind of remember it as on the Still Life cover.

This topic gets raised once every two months.

Best (all based on vinyl album jackets) -

Sticky Fingers - great concept, nasty title, and 10 nasty tracks to match
December's Children - best early Stones cover, Keef front and center
Through the Past Darkly - Original octagon, very, very cool.
Some Girls - Original cut-out cover with celebrity photos
Satanic Majesties - original 3-D cover. just beautiful.

Honorable mention (jackets that should have been): the "soup" photo from GHS, and the S&M ad for Black and Blue.

Worst -

Dirty Work - Stones meet the 80's and the 80's win.
then, the horrible 4 live album covers:
Still Life
Flashpoint
No Security
Live Licks

I agree. It would have become dated right away, too. Look at the reference to LBJ--Johnson left office in Jan '69 not long after BB came out.

Now it's ancient history.


One of the great covers/images of the Stones is Between the Buttons. I love the expressions. (even Brian, his poor wasted face says it all) A great moment frozen in time.
