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 second Maiden's CD artwork, but unlike the above post, I've been into Maiden for three plus decades. |

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... |
