what's your favorite album cover?

"In Search of the Lost Chord" by the Moody Blues. The depiction of the "life cycle" is VERY cool! Another favorite cover, again by the Moody Blues, is "A Question of Balance" - Einstein's cigar smoke morphing into clouds - gotta love it!

The original cover to the mono release of Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique (Munch/BSO) on RCA. Reproduced once again on the Classic Records 45rpm reissue.

For some reason I like Supertramp album covers. "Crime of the Century" was cool, "Crisis, What Crisis" was somewhat tongue in cheek, and of course "Even in the Quietest Moments" is a classic. I love the piano sitting on a mountain top, with the sheet music open to Fool's Overture. Liked it so much I got the album cover tatooed on my shoulder!

Yes did some pretty interesting album covers, all followed a common look and feel to them. My all time favourite album cover artist was Cal Shenkel, he did some great work on Zappa's albums. Anyone going to nominate Dark Side?

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Interesting and cluttered. Like much of the music on it.

I've always enjoyed most of Eloy's especially "Metromania" and "Silent Cries and Mighty Echoes". Very 70's prog - lots of great ones in that genre. On the YES theme - "Olias of Sunhillow" by Jon Anderson. Killer gatefold.
