Pepper. First listen wasted me, nothing like it before or since.

Tasty by Good Rats. It features an animated big fat rat sitting in a pile of garbage.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan LP, and, just behind it, Bringing It All back Home and Highway 61 Revisited.

This should have been on the list instead of Led Zeppli,: Molly Hatchet: Flirtin with Disaster.

Allman Brothers: Eat a Peach

Joe Jackson: Look Sharp

Album cover? What does it sound like? I think it is what the Beatles White Album cover was intended to be. Before the censors got control.

Malo: Malo, with its picture of an Aztec warrior holding a princess from an original painting on display at art museum in Mexico City.

Velvet Underground & Nico

The Beatles: The Beatles—what audacity!

Hipgnosis did a lot of cover art in the '70s and '80. They were often weird juxtapostions of ideas put into images, such as an inflated pig suspended between the smokestacks of a power station for Pink Floyd's Animals. They did Led Zepplin's Houses of the Holy and Peter Gabriel 3 (melting face). I like most of the work was done by Hipgnosis and you can see a sample at: http://www.sound.jp/hipgnosis/yapwall/yhip.html But my top vote would have to be the Scorpions' Lovedrive. It features a couple seated in the back seat of a sedan. The "clean cut" man, dressed in a suit, is looking down at what appears to be chewing/bubble gum strung from his hand to the woman's breast while she looks impassively straight ahead.

BO DIDDLEY

I'd pick Lonesome Echo by Jackie Gleason with the Salvadore Dali cover

YES Relayer.

Sargeant Pepper, of course.

Tons of great album covers out there. John Zorn's Torture Garden is the best I have in my collection.

The first album by Led Zeppelin.

I think the greatest album cover is The Beatles' Revolver.

The Moody Blues: A Question of Balance

Does anyone remember Mom's Apple Pie, an LP from the early 70's? Wow!

Tales From Topographic Oceans - Yes www.rogerdean.com/upclose/topographic.htm

1) Pixies: Surfer Rosa 2) Jimi Hendrix Experience: Electric lady land 3) Rolling Stones: Sicky fingers (with zipper)

THE BEATLES SGT PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND

Jimi Hendrix: Axis, Bold As Love. Not only was the album a testament that Jimi could sing, the cover could keep one busy for hours finding all the fine detail it contained!

Look no further than the Black Crow's Amorica. The reason is self-explanatory.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band set the standard for modern album art. It will always be my favorite cover.

Although I don't have a "favorite" cover, I would like to point out that my Hamster Dance CD cover has one of those pictures that change depending on the angle at you hold it.

OHIO PLAYERS FIRE

Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon

Midnight Oil's Red Sails In The Sunset. No band members or a title on the front, just a colorful shot of Sydney after an asteroid hit.
