10 Greatest Album Covers (Part 2)

5) Never Say Die- Black Sabbath
The title goes with the cover. "Never Say Die" and the bombs are coming. This was their last album with Ozzy, and the original band's last gasp before the end. Creatively they're dried up, and it's easily the worst album the original Sabbath ever did. So the title's ironic, the band's dead creatively and those guys on the cover have seconds to live. The important thing is to keep a sense of humor; and if your music's petered out let your cover end it big.


6) Killer- Alice Cooper
