14. Thom Yorke: 'The Eraser' (2006) - One of the most interesting and articulate albums of the decade also has a brilliant piece of artwork to accompany it. The picture depicts a lone man in a trench coat and a thickly brimmed hat surrounded by a descent of waves and thunderclouds. The man has an outstretched arm as if trying to stop the powerful attack approaching him but you suspect this is a largely pointless move. The artwork here expertly taps into the paranoia and helplessness felt on 'The Eraser' itself and once again shows Thom Yorke to be the genius that he is.

- 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.
