Your favourite album cover(s)

After the popular What is for you the best album ever ? and the even more popular What are you listening to right now ? ... threads, here's another music related thread. 

I'm just curious to know what you favourite album cover(s) is/are?

//remark
I'm not asking just which Pink Floyd album cover is your favourite, though theirs are surely among the best.

My favourite album cover is the one I chose for my avatar: Rage Against The Machine - Renegades.
Hard work might not kill you, but why take any chances?

Arena - Contagion



The Cover is only a foretaste to what's inside the booklet - amazing artwork by David Wyatt

This Mortal Coil - Blood

I've never been a 4AD addict (I mean concerning their album covers) but I have to admit that one is a really beautiful one. And moreover, it's an excellent album that I am happy to own.

// To all Pink Floyd fans: a Syd Barrett song is covered in that album: "Late Night" sung by Caroline Crawley.

Very guilty pleasure.
But this cover hipnotized me when I it originally came out.



And of course, you just gotta love the sheer promise and hope of this cover. Back when people tought that computers would make us happier (wait, they have!)



I'm the one in the picture, sitting on a giant cabbage in Mexico, circa 1978.

Although I could draw an entirely different set of "art" covers from my collection, some of my favorites (and the covers which sprang to mind first, this evening) are photographic:

Koerner, Ray & Glover's Lots More Blues, Rags and Hollers (1964)


John Coltrane's Blue Train (1957)


the Byrds' Byrdmaniax (1971)

A classic. There's also this one cover that i can't find right now; it looks like a cheap CD-R cover with a handwritten title. Looked quite funny in the store.

Though I don't own the album, when we had a thread about extraordinary/moving/extreme/impressive covers in the local music newsgroup, this came up.



Not a favourite cover, but a moving one.

Ahh, plastic surgery disaters.  Great cover, but bad album, marking the beginning of the downhill slide for DK.

I'm surprised no one mentioned this one yet (regarding guilty pleasures har har)

Devo's Greatest Misses (and similar, 'Greatest Hits') definately gets my vote:



As for worst album cover, it goes to Chick Corea.  He designed it himself!!  (guess he's only an artist in one sense of the word)
