As 10 melhores e mais influentes capas do rock, segundo a Ultimate Classic Rock

Quando surgiram os discos de vinil, dava-se tão pouca importância às suas capas que elas eram basicamente embalagens de papelão. A partir dos anos 50, elas passaram a receber mais atenção e geralmente traziam retratos dos artistas.

Melhores e Maiores - Mais Listas

Foram os Beatles - sempre eles - que ajudaram a transformar a capa em parte da obra, algo que merecia atenção por parte dos artistas. "A Hard Day's Night" (1964), "Help!" (1965) e "Revolver" (1966) já indicavam essa preocupação de ir além do clichê.

Depois de "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" (1967), de repente todo grande álbum parecia precisar de uma capa icônica e marcante. Tanto que a Ultimate Classic Rock listou as 65 melhores e mais influentes capas de todos os tempos. Entre elas, apenas quatro são anteriores a "Sgt. Pepper's": "Elvis Presley" (1956), "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan" (1963), "Pet Sounds" (1966) e "Revolver" (1966).
