Blondie, Parallel lines, 1978 Report Abuse
A nice combination of the 70s naive attitude with an introspective twist from the 80s.

Michael Jackson, Thriller, 1982 Report Abuse
Even if this record cover is not by far the first cover to feature an idealized image of the artist, it’s still exquisitely clean and well done.
