Take out your iPod. Hit shuffle a few times. Chances are, if you’re a fan of rock, pop, electronica or heavy metal music released over the last thirty or forty years, it won’t be long before an album cover designed by Storm Thorgerson comes up. Thorgerson has lent his art to everyone from rock giants Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath to modern acts like Biffy Clyro, the Mars Volta and Pendulum.
Thorgerson’s visually striking and surreal artwork ensured that some of the defining musical acts of the 60s and 70s had equally memorable album covers. He continued working right into the twenty-first century too, ensuring that generations of music fans were attracted by his imagery.
In tribute to Thorgerson, who died on Wednesday 18 April aged 69, we present a list of 20 of our favourite album covers.

Th1rt3en is a landmark for many reasons, but most notably for being the first studio album recorded by the band after last year's reunion with original bassist and co-founder David Ellefson (he left Megadeth in 2002 after the release of Rude Awakening).
