I have #10/300 by James Flournoy Holmes... "Eat A Peach" One Of the best of All Time...

Massively influential on photographers... And an entire population of metal-fans... He did the first Sabbath cover. RESPECT!

Why the hell is he this low I mean he could be lower but ten is his minimum. His solo pieces are great enough to take on Dali

Storm Thorgerson's Pink Floyd covers are the stuff of legends!

So amazing… although people would say Derek's artwork is navy, violent and controversial, DEAL WITH IT! IT'S HEAVY METAL! Plus! The artwork has lots of meaning and hidden messages!

Zappa! The Beatles! Many others.

He did the cover for the Beatles album "Revolver. " This guy knows his stuff. -
