What is the greatest Q cover ever?
Well, with your help, we hope to answer that question. To celebrate our 21st anniversary we've compiled a special Q covers gallery - and you can rate and comment on each one.
Looking back over 21 years of Q it's obvious that much has changed. It's unlikely, for example, that "jazz giant" Pat Metheny would today be worthy of a breathless cover line, as he was in 1987.
Then again, some artists have grown up with us - U2, Elton John, REM - and certain values have stayed the same: striking photography, cheeky cover lines, and (of course) lists.
We hope you enjoy scrolling through the gallery as much as we've enjoyed putting it together. Marvel! As Q struggles to get its head round this new thing called "MTV". Wince! At the startling frequency of Mick Hucknall interviews. Wonder! If getting Terence Trent D'Arby to strip naked was such a good idea, really.
Anyway, Happy Birthday to us. You'll find the gallery here.

is there any chance that "Q" would publish all their covers in one publication like "rolling stone"did last year, for me a music fan this was a great insight in what went into each edition, and the loyal and ever growing following that "Q" has would find this invaluable...Mark in Plymouth

Although I'm not a massive Depeche Mode fan, I've always wondered why one of the most successful and revered British bands of all time has never appeared on the UK cover of Q ? Are they camera shy or has Q got something against 'the Mode' ? Apparently they'v ea new album coming out in the spring, so an opportunity perhaps.... ?
