My Top Ten, in no particular order: (Mouse-over the art for the artist/album title if you don't know it or can't read it.)

Yes - Relayer

Coheed And Cambria - Good Apollo Im Burning Star IV, Volume 2: No World For Tomorrow

And now, a couple of "honorable mentions:"

Casualties Of Applied Metaphysics - In Anima

(Honorable Mentions NOT to be taken seriously as nominations for Greatest Album Art Ever.)

So should we take your BREEing out of the credits for Ex Anima? Angry

Of course not. Unless you want me to BREE your face off. I can do it, you know.

Great album, great cover! Subtlety in capturing a moment.

...that moment you realize you like "Mob Rules" better than "Heaven and Hell"

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...but you'd need to put a double barrelled shotgun to my head to agree to most of these on here, regarded as beautiful.

Tangerine Dream had more than a few excellent album covers, BSS was superb, Roger Deans stuff was great, Pink Floyd had a few beauties. Some Klaus Schulze stuff was impressive, but one of my favourites was Dave Greensalde's The Pentatecuh of the Cosmogony.

Rush, Traffic and similar et al were minging.
