44. Erykah Badu: 'New Amerykah Part One' (2008) - A picture says a thousand words, but Erykah Badu's afro says so much more. Her animated hairdo contains pictures of guns, babies, computers, cars, a toilet, aeroplanes, handcuffs, flowers and a gramophone amongst many many others. The collage surrounding the stars face is an insight into the her mind and the hair stops at the top spelling out her name. A cover you can look at for hours.

- Um, this is one of the WORST album covers of the 00s. Who made this list, a 12 year old boy who just got into Yes?
