In an effort to find a cool cover search more inclusive than the Sports Illustrated (http://hawaiithreads.com/showthread.php?p=36323) search, I stumbled upon this cool covers search (http://www.rollingstone.com/photos/covers?pageid=rs.Photos&pageregion=nav) at the Rolling Stone. Unfortunately, you can't just type in a date and get the cover; you have to browse by year and then find the cover that comes closest to the date you're looking for. Sadly, the first issue of the Stone wasn't published until 1967, so this is even less inclusive than the SI search. Sorry.
Here's mine (http://www.rollingstone.com/photos/gallery/image/_/image/8/imageSize/medium/id/5392210/start/12/range/12/frankzappa?pageid=rs.PhotosGallery&pageregion=mainRegion). The first issue of 1969 (one of the all-time great years for rock and roll, by the way) came out a week after I was born, so I had to go with the last issue of 1968, which featured the Beatles and a big furry dog.
There's supposedly a covers search at Life (http://www.life.com/Life/search/covers) magazine, going back to 1936 (that's far enough back even for Albert!) but I can't get the search to work. Can anyone else figure it out?
