I also think Grrrr is pretty good, at least it is bold and interesting, which is a lot more than can be said for the extremely dull Blue n Lonesome.
A gorilla? It's pathetic! Just as bad as the album title!

it was quite disappointing when that was what they came up with to honour 50 years as a band.

It boggles the mind. You know that at that level there would have been business meetings with suits. Either they all agreed on this insane notion; or someone came in, very excited about this idea, and made a play, and actually convinced them all. What on earth was the motivation? What was it that someone said that proved to all involved the Greatest Rock band in the world's career would be well represented in such a display?

Ok, I follow GasLightStreet's example, but with some improvements.
1960s
The best album covers: pre-Between the Buttons
Between the Buttons: not so good anymore as the previous (which is even more true for the pointless musical content)
TSMR - cringeworthy & embarrassing like 50% of the album
BB - Toilet seat version is cool, the white version: too similar to another white album cover of another band
LIB - Rather ugly really. I don't get it. Why doing this?
1970s
GYYYO! - good
SF - I see how this was "cool" but I am not very fond of it
EOMS - great, one of their best
GHS - oh well, okay, I guess
IORR - terrible bad taste.
BAB - one of their best
SG - comparable to SF, nice for drawing attention, but a bit childish
1980s
ER - OK... but a bit lame
TY - awesome, iconic as hell
U - ugly but it sort of works
DW - so ugly that it almost gets interesting. Which one could say for the musical content too
SW - horrible, just awful bad
1990s
VL - rubbish
S - whereas I normally like their "simple" covers, this is an exception
BTB - awful
2002-2016
ABB - absolutely ridiculous, who came up with this, a 4-year old?

About the gorilla: Tongue and cheek. Jagger has a sense of humor. Distance. The band have never been dead serious about themselves. Important album? It was "Best of #50". Plus two new songs.
