Nice thread!

I've always loved King Crimson's first, In The Court Of The Crimson King:

Jethro Tull's album Stand Up had quite a creative design too:

Genesis, Selling England By The Pound:

Overall, my favorite covers are usually paintings.

Bad Religion, Suffer. Coolest lyrics ever too:

The most controversial covers are definitely by The Dwarves:

Always thought this one was interesting in that it came out just 3 days before the plane crash. And then they changed it to remove the flames after Ronnie Van Zant and Steve and Cassie Gaines died.

Love this one

This one is really cool, they actually had to light the guy on fire to take the photo.

Haha, I thought about posting that one too; a friend of mine actually had the original cover with the flames.

For those who don't know, the 3 members on this picture with flames over their heads died in a plane crash just a few days after the album came out. Very weird coincidence.

The artwork on just about any Yes album is pretty amazing. One or two plain outside but again the amazing artwork of Roger Dean on the inside

KrissyS said what I was going to say. Roger Dean is one of the "deans" of album cover art.

Nothing really cool about the cover, but I think it is the best album name ever.............You Bought It, You Name It

I agree. Roger Dean and Storm Thorgerson are my 2 favorites by far!! Roger is best known for his work with Yes and Storm for Pink Floyd but both have so many more you would definitely recognize.
