So I checked the mail this morning and by the thickness of the stack, immediately knew the latest issue of Rolling Stone had arrived. Although I've come to find the magazine a tad overrated in recent years, it's usually a pretty good read. As I pulled the stack from slot, it was as if I were the fisherman who had hooked a big one only to discover upon reeling it in that it was the decapitated head of his high school sweetheart. I had to cover my mouth with my issue of Vogue to keep from losing this morning's recently digested ramen when my eyes were raped by this...

Now, I understand that not everyone detests U2 as much as I do. In fact, they're one of the most successful groups ever. However, I personally would rather see the rotting corpses of
the Nelson Brothers (they might as well be dead) on the cover of RS than these two douche bags. My immediate response was "Worst Rolling Stone cover ever?" I then took a while to reflect on the three years that I've been subscribed to RS. I tried to remember if there were any other covers that evoked such horror and disgust, and it wasn't long before I realized that I may have given the title of "Worst Ever" out a little carelessly. I went to RS's website where you can look at every cover ever and realized just how many godawful covers they've had. I was going to post my least favorites ever but that would have taken years. Thus, I present to you a gallery, if you will, of "The Worst Rolling Stones Covers of the Last 5 Years" (in my opinion and no particular order)
