The top magazine covers of the last 40 years? The American Society of Magazine Editors gives us some hits, and lots of misses.
National Geographic's March, 1984 eagle hologram cover definitely should have been on the list. That probably would have meant one fewer New Yorker cover, or not so many naked people, however.
For millions of people around the globe, this was their first glimpse of a hologram.

I remember that cover so well. Blew my 9-year old mind, it did. The skull one they did a few years later was also really cool. Not as keen anymore on the "the world is being destroyed and we're all going to die and it's your fault" one.

Hell, half the Nat Geo covers could have been entered into competition.
