Good choices. To make it a more personal 10 favourites list, I would easily sacrifice Genesis in order to place ELP's The Barbarian at the top of it.
Invitation or toilet? I've always preferred the invitation cover myself, even if it did invite more silly comparisons with that other great '60s band.
The RSVP cover is my favourite Stones album cover and on the short list of my favourite covers of any artist. The graffiti cover, while the original choice, looks cheap and tacky by comparison.
Mine favourite 5 Stones covers are... Beggars Banquet (RSVP version) Between The Buttons Exile On Main St Out Of Our Heads (UK) Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out
And just to throw my personal favorites into the mix, the five I'd vote for in terms of Stones album covers would probably be: 1. Let It Bleed 2. It's Only Rock n Roll 3. Their Satanic Majesties Request 4. Between The Buttons 5. Exile On Main St. Those five must share some common link that allures my taste, but who knows what that is!

I like it, but he has done a number of songs better than that one. For some reason though it's his only song that seemed to capture the public's imagination.

Fair enough. I admit it's the only one I've heard, and that it was very popular in its day, even if I can't figure out why.
