What's your favourite album cover? There are a lot of great covers, but nothing compares to Grace's "Nightclubbing" cover from 1981.

Apparently, Beck's next album is going to have a sticker set that allows you to create your own cover. If that's as awesome as it sounds, I think we'll have a new winner right there.
I'm also quite fond of the Abbey Road cover:

A regular photo of the artist is the greatest cover you know?

It's not a photo, but it's actually a painting. And the meaning behind it was to illustrate the fine line between reality and fiction. Grace is there, but she's not there.

The Beck one is sooo funny cause it was a book from the library that was used at the last minute cause they hadnt thought of one yet. But it is great. I love these:

What do you mean by "she's not there"?
As for favourite album covers, I really like some of Laibach's covers.

This looks pretty much like a regular cover, but I adore it because of the colors, and just the feeling it gives off.
<img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/92/James_Taylor_-_October_Road.jpg">
The first song of this album is titled "September Grass", which in many ways is the only good song on the album, but that song just fits perfectly with the mood set by the cover (James's head down, one foot up, in the middle of a forest). It's pretty cool. At least to me.
I also like Abbey Road, and Toby Keith's Unleashed. If you've been around EoFF you'll know why.

If I know Cannibal Corpse it will probably be a disgusting, vile cover that no one in their right mind would like. They are a disgusting band and don't deserve to be labelled as "music". :)
Anyways...the best cover is!

Silent Hill 4's OST has a wierd cover too. But that soundtrack was so good, as was the art.
As much as I don't like Led Zepplin, the cover Resh posted is so pretty.

I've been into death metal alot lately, but have known this band for a while. I have the leak of it, and it is my favorite album of 2006 at the current moment.

I live remarkably close to this road. Before I move I must remember to take three other friends down there and recreate the shot.

It looks a bit differently today, so that shot can't be recreated that accurately.
That's still really cool though, Maxx. :)

I would have to say Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" album would be a great one imo.

Here's another great cover by Grace Jones.
Warning: the cover is a little racy, so look away if you have a week stomach.

There's a ton of awesome album art out there, but Back To Bedlam's the best I've seen recently.
I decided to go art happy and attach some of my favorites. :p

It has obviously got to your head - the album covers & song names.
I'm not having a go, but I'll get my say across. I like CC for their technicality in music, which is better than the average same riff twenty times, next riff twenty times & so fourth. Not their album covers or their song names. Perhaps because I'm a guitarist...
The Cure are brill by the way.
Anyway, good album covers..
Well have a look at a couple of bands like Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones etc.

The Atom Heart Mother cover is the best one.
