I guess I have it bad...I admit to actually collecting and using album covers as art on my walls in my listening room. There is a great book, "The Ultimate Album Cover Album", by Roger Dean and David Howells, Prentice Hall, 1987. ISBN# 0-13-935750-5. This work provides an interesting history of album cover art and many photos.

Some favorites:

Blind Faith (1969)
Houses of the Holy-Led Zeppelin
Dark Side of the Moon-Pink Floyd
Yes- Relayer
Playing Possum-Carly Simon
Hotel California-Eagles
Asia-Asia
Joni Mitchell-Dod Eat Dog (Geffen)
Bruce Springsteen-Born in The USA

BTW, I also hang favorite laser disc covers in a home theatre room.

Favorite is a tough one, but a standout among those on permanent exhibition in my mind's eye is the Greatful Dead's "Blues for Allah". The long robed, sunglassed, grey haired skeleton playing a violin seems so at home upon his
perch that his natural ease counters the bizzare image.
For those fans of the great Stanley Mouse, master of many "dead" paintings, check out the limited issue series of plates (yes, plates, 7 in all) from the Bradford Exchange. Very cool and auspicious quality.

Best Zen cover, Poco's "Legend"
