41. Sonic Youth: 'Murray Street' (2002) - Putting kids on the cover of your album is always a good move, just ask Nirvana. American Noise rockers Sonic Youth got in on the game in 2002 with 'Murray Street' an album named after the street where they recorded it. The cover of the album features two young girls one of which is Sonic Youth's singer Thurston Moore and bassist Kim Gordon's child Coco under a luminous blue mesh. Strange, yet very effective.

- Um, this is one of the WORST album covers of the 00s. Who made this list, a 12 year old boy who just got into Yes?
- Such an interesting cover! I agree very filmic, great photography from Storm Thorgerson!
- amazinggggggg cover of the greatest album of the decade
- No Opeth covers?! Other than that a good countdown
- I always wonder why there's a gas mask in one, a teddy bear in another etc. It's interesting.
