Rolling Stone - Top 100 Album Covers Display

Top 100 displaied at the Bears Den in Helena

In November 1991, Rolling Stone Magazine revealed its top 100 album covers of all time. This list was compiled solely based on the artwork of the albums, and no other metrics were used. To create this list, Bob had to go through a process of collecting, sorting, and building a display for the album covers. He had to consider the style, composition, and overall aesthetic of each album cover. After all of the albums were collected, Bob had to arrange them in a way that was visually pleasing and would draw attention to the collection. This process of collecting the list of the top 100 album covers of all time was a labor of love for Bob, and the results speak for themselves.
