Heroes is a horrible album cover.

Horrible. Horrible.

I think Penguin has a great cover, Bare Trees's very tasteful, and Future Games's intriguing (the green cover--hate the yellow one).

The Then Play On cover excellent.

Kiln House is cute, kinda' homespun.

Just a quick thought, but how did English Rose make the list anyway with it being a compilation album? If you didn't discriminate with the poll, why isn't Pious Bird Of Good Omen in the poll too?

Depends on your point of view which is the "compilation album". To us Yanks, English Rose was Fleetwood Mac's 2nd album...Pious Bird never was released here. Even as a UK album, Pious Bird was a compilation album. Compiling the UK singles and the two songs that FMac backed Eddie Boyd...a rush-job to include songs that Danny Kirwan was involved with since he'd joined after Mr Wonderful was released. There was even duplication of a couple of songs from the first two UK albums ("Stop Messin' Round", "Looking For Somebody")

The Kiln House cover is nice and all, but looks like something that would be better on a children's album.

John McVie did the Bare Trees cover. He dabbles in photography. Personally I prefer album covers to be a little more darker in color. FM had a lot of white colored albums.

Obviously the Dog and Dustbin cover, since this album (with cover) made it possible for all the "to come" fans to enjoy what was to come since then.
Without this one there wouldn't have been a poll for the Favorite album cover anyway.
Show your gratefulness

The reason why I have the albums up here is what I found on the Penguin's discog section, and by the sound of it, it was a US mixture
