What are your favourite pieces of album art, prog or not prog? Whether it be the front cover, inner gatefold, etc.

My top 5 are: 

1. Allman Brothers Band - Eat A Peach
2. Marshall Tucker Band - A New Life
3. King Crimson - In The Wake of Poseidon
4. Judas Priest - Killing Machine
5. Marshall Tucker Band - S/T
