^yeah I know of the Afghan refugee cover....but I've got a probelm with where it's placed though-that should definitely be up there more as it's perhaps one of the most poignant and politically prevalent cover's ever. Yet they got that Demi Moore bare-naked on the cover of Vanity Fair sitting at #2?

Does anyone have pics of all the covers, honestly, I am not familiar with half of them....

I agree

 

[Label Basher]

I can't believe the highest Vogue cover is 37 and it's that cover. It's a good cover but I've seen better and I'm sure others would agree.

What does ASME's stand for?
