In typical Taschen “go big or go home” fashion, the book publisher recently released a massive 552-page hardcover book featuring more than 750 images of album covers. “Album art is indelibly linked to our collective musical memories; when you think of your favorite albums, you picture the covers,” the publisher said in a statement about the book. To music fans, album artwork was as important as the songs on the record, and some of the the people who created that artwork became celebrities in their own right.

Take a walk down memory lane, from Elvis to The Beatles, and Pink Floyd to Iron Maiden, with these history-shaping covers, with Rock Covers.
