I know everybody out there has to have quite a few covers that they just love.

Let's go ahead and include pictures as well, just so everybody can see them all.

I always really like the Use Your Illusion covers, for some reason I think they just perfectly represent those albums...

I can't put my finger on why, I've just always loved them.

And of course anything with Eddie on an Iron Maiden cover is pretty awesome too :D

    It amazes me how HUGE that band got in the early 90's and I still couldn't stand them.

    These two are at the top for me..

    your –pronoun
    1.
    (a form of the possessive case of you used as an attributive adjective): Your jacket is in that closet. I like your idea. Compare yours.
    2.
    one's (used to indicate that one belonging to oneself or to any person): The consulate is your best source of information. As you go down the hill, the library is on your left.
    3.
    (used informally to indicate all members of a group, occupation, etc., or things of a particular type): Take your factory worker, for instance. Your power brakes don't need that much servicing.

    you're: contraction of you are: You're certain that's right?

    I read something about this. He is actually bleeding. He hit himself in the face with a brick numerous times before that picture was taken. Crazy.
