Rubber Soul/Revolver/Sgt Pepper; the ones that started it all, including Storm Thorgerson and his Hignosis group. |
Whipped Cream and Other Delights In the Land of Grey and Pink (Caravan) In The Court of the Crimson King Terrapin Station (Grateful Dead) Something for Everybody (Devo) |

Brain Salad Surgery (ELP) Almost any of the YES album covers AJA & The Royal Scam (Steely Dan) Hotel California (The Eagles)
I have all of the "Album Cover Album" books and there are a lot of excellent covers. If you ever get a chance to look through these volumes, it's really pretty cool. |
+1 for Whipped Cream and Other Delights. And how about
Blue Cheer--InsideOutside
Steely Dan--Countdown to Ecstasy |
All of Iron Maden covers and posters all all all. I keep records in collection simply because of covers, but not big fan of their music. |
Terrapin Station and Blues for Allah, what else! |
|
Pink Floyd- Meddle
Bob Marley- Catch A Fire |
American Beauty, Exile on Main Street, All Things Must Pass, Axis:Bold as Love, Who's Next, Zep III and the best of the best Sgt.Pep. |

The Band: The Band (the brown album). The pics on the inside of the gatefold cover are great too. The best album cover, of the all-time best album, by the best rock n' roll band of them all. Three for three! Actually, it's a tie between this album and their first, Music From Big Pink. Just ask the best musician you know, he'll tell ya (he'll agree with Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Bob Dylan, and thousands of others). |
Cheech and Chong-giant rolling paper... |
|
|
King Crimson, In the Court of the Crimson King |

I like generic covers for dance singles. No worries about wear and anytime you can replace'em by nu. |

I second Maiden's CD artwork, but unlike the above post, I've been into Maiden for three plus decades. |
Bill Evans and Jim Hall, "Undercurrent" (artist's photo of woman swimming, taken from below - I mention this because I've seen reissues which are different). |

The Beatles Butcher Cover. Mammas and Pappas with Mamma sitting on a toilet. Lynyrd Skynyrd Flame cover. All banned of course. |
mamas and papas.. (sorry for sic) |
|
Led Zeppelin's creepy Houses of the Holy! Creepy Black Sabbath's self titled!
But the best has to be The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. |
I like Mark Ryden's work in general very much, in particular the cover art for Bigger Better Faster More by Three Non Blondes. He also did MJ's Dangerous and RHCP's One Hot Minute album covers. More please, Mr. Ryden. |
Mothers of Invention had some good ones, not the least of which were We're Only in it for the Money and Lumpy Gravy, the Sgt. Peppers take off and the band in drag, respectively. |
Most of the time in my memory Delicate Sound of Thunder, but I can't really tell if it's my favorite album cover of all times. Sid's covers are great as well. |
Captain Beyond/ Sufficiently Breathless and Hawkwind/ Hall of the Mountain Grill. Favorite music also... |
