BILLBOARD: BEST ALBUM COVERS OF ALL TIME

Cyndi Lauper informed the world that “Girls Just Want To Have Fun” on her classic 1983 debut, and one look at the cover of She’s So Unusual would convert any non-believer. Photographed by Annie Leibovitz in front of a derelict wax museum in Brooklyn’s Coney Island, Lauper strikes a willfully weird pose wearing a second-hand prom dress, fishnets and a mish-mash of clashing jewelry. Tellingly, her heels are kicked off to the side. More so than any album cover from a female pop queen, this remains the ultimate rallying cry to stay strange and love yourself for it.
