#1 Rolling Stone (January 22, 1981)
Rolling Stones cover of John Lennon and Yoko Ono was named the top magazine cover to appear since 1965. The image was photographed by renowned celebrity portraitist Annie Leibovitz mere hours before Lennon was shot on December 8, 1980. The photo was eventually used on the cover of Rolling Stones tribute issue to Lennon on January 22, 1981.

I chose this cover because it looks interesting and it caught my attention. The picture is kinda blurry but it's still an amazing picture. John Lennon and Yoko Ono look perfect together in this picture. They match each other.
