I think that the first 8 covers (or whatever) should have to be in your frames/on your wall, with a pic posted here.“There’s no normal life, Wyatt, it’s just life. Get on with it.” – Doc Holliday

It will of course skew heavily towards rock genre so it could be cool to require other genres, but not if it's going to ruin the fun.
I will play by whatever rules you all decide.

GreggIf DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

Iconic
Great Album/Terrible Cover
Synergistic (Perfect Visual Representation of the Music Inside)
Cringeworthy (Cover That Has Aged Very Badly)
LOL
WTF?!
... plus an equal number of utility slots to fill with whatever we like.

Proposed categories:
Best
Worst
NSFW
Album you've never heard but found only because of this draft.
Great album with meh/overrated cover.
Bad album, great cover.
ETA: removed genres because I think we have enough categories between this and sheep's suggestions. Other ideas?If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

There is a treasure trove of "WTF?!" covers in the Old Time Gospel genre...If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

and I like the synergistic idea
Other categories we could do:
Best Artist Cover - Cover featuring a defining shot of the actual band or artist.
Rowwrrr! - The hair metal guys will probably demand hot chicks."When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."
