Favorite Album Cover (picture or art on the cover)

As a follow up to my discussion about your favorite cover album since some posters asked or posted about the artwork or picture on the cover of the album.

Mine is the cover art on the Court of the Crimson King by King Crimson.  The stuff of nightmares.  

What is your favorite album cover?

There are so many that are so cool.  I used to really like the album cover of my Nazareth/Hair Of The Dog LP.  I always thought Who's Next had a classic album cover.

No love for The White Album? Or am I just being contrarian?

I am not sure if you are being contrarian or not, @sweiss1590 , but it appears as if The White Album was already mentioned.

One thing we lost in going from Albums to CDs and then streaming was the artistic, interesting, and sometimes shocking cover art. It just doesn’t have the same impact for me on a CD disc.

I agree with that 100%. I completely sold out to digital and the makers of CDs try to emulate LP covers, but it is not the same. And besides that, you can not use a CD jewel case to clean the stems and seeds so you can roll a joint..
