The first edition of iconic music weekly Rolling Stone, founded in San Franciso, was issued in November 1967. It became one of the most respected music magazines ever and still is.

Over the years RS published several ‘best of lists’, best song ever, best album ever,
best guitarist ever etc. Now they published their 100 best album covers ever. Below
