And In the Court of the Crimson King's is superb too.

well none of my links wanna work.

This one is my all-time favorite...

I never heard the CD, but I love the cover of this album.

Another vote for the cover on Tool's Lateralus.

That one by Opeth is a pretty amazing and haunting painting. Roadtonowhere08, do you know who the artist is?

I've always thought the cover of Pink Floyd's "Pulse" is pretty amazing:

Lords of Acid-VooDoo U

Some of the best artwork I have ever seen on a CD cover.

Here is a link, but warning it has animated nudity and some my call a little too erotic.

My personal favorite, which I also have hanging on my wall:

Also, before someone else does, I'll mention the Beatles' White album and its counterpart, Metallica's black album. They're mandatory for any album cover thread.

...Anybody?

Ozzy Randy Rhoads tribute, Live concert photo... what could be better than that?

Any Iron Maiden..

I like "Unknown Pleasures" a lot too.. My favorite even though I cant find it anywhere was for the 12" vinyl version of "Blue Monday" by New Order. It was a floppy disk replica and was very cool looking.

BTW: dont care for the band, but Opeth's Blackwater Park cover is very beautiful in a dark and sinister way

Here are my best covers

Best? I don't know. But I really like this one. (It looks better larger. If it came in vinyl I'd buy it just to frame it.)
