As suggested by I think soonerorlater during the running of the last polls the next idea is to vote on album covers. To make this more interesting we should have say two or three ELO covers and the rest classic covers of other artists albums. With this in mind please give me some ideas of other album covers you would like to see in the poll and I will try to include them. I can of course look for ideas online as well such as here, but this might not include your favourite. www.billboard.com/photos/best-album-covers-of-all-time-6715351/I plan to start running the poll towards the end of next week, thanks in advance.

We know that Secret Messages for instance has quite a few 'early' versions, so will they all be included?

How about a poll on single covers at some point? I'm guessing that there could be 1000s from all over the world (ahem..) so maybe restrict it to say the UK and USA?

Depends how many covers will be in the poll overall - I'd like to see Time in there, and Face the Music. This is an ELO forum so they ought to have a good lot of representation. My nominations, off the top of my head, would be The Music's eponymous first album, Bomber by Motorhead, Roadhawks by Hawkwind and of course all of Muse's. But if I have to choose only one Muse cover it'll be Absolution

I will probably go for 50 covers, then we can have ten rounds of five in the first round.

If not too late, throw in a Santana album.

Besides the obvious attractive or striking looking sleves, what about 'clever' ones? One example is this one... On the face of it, it looks quite plan. Opening it, we have a 'crate' of apples - very English It's an elpee from the English folk group Magna Carta. I was inroduced to English folk many years ago, and this became a firm favourite.
