Never been huge on their album covers but Wind And Wuthering does it for me despite the album not doing it for me.

Foxtrot’s cover makes great wall art.

Here's a little bit of trivia. Genesis had the artist, Betty Swanwick, who painted the cover add a lawnmower in the painting because of the song "I know what I like." Also, the shapes from the self titled shapes album are from a children's toy called shape o toy by tupperware and not perfection which most people seem to think(probably because perfection was more popular at the time).

They have about 4 I like very much and can't realy choose one over the others. These are: 
1. Nursery Cryme  -including inside gatefold ilustrations. It was among couple of very first vinyl I ever bought and seeing something inside was very rewarding. Of course the main cover is amazing too - very British and creepy. Also the logo is the best here. 
2. Selling Engalnd - love this gentle and poetic/fairytale mood - it fits the music perfectly
3. Trick of the tail - It's like classic Dickens' book ilustrations, gotta love it!
4. Wind and wuthering - so beautifuly melancholic. Seeing the cover I was hoping to like the music. Thankfuly it's still a great album, so I could adorn my vinyl collection with this amazing artwork. 
I'm not a big fan of The Lamb cover (although the music is fabulous) nor And Then there were three (still liking the music), but I do like Duke artwork, sadly music on it is below the bar in my opinion. 
Helped Wind and Wuthering with my voice as it has the lowest rate of my favourites.

I think the cover and the music is both a bit underrated.

I always felt that the music of SEBTP, ATOTT and W&W fit the album covers very well so those are my picks. They are also my favorite albums by the band. The Paul Whitehead album covers are good too but not quite as good as those. The Lamb is just a weird album cover but I suppose it fits the album pretty well too considering the music on it. I think when their music started to change, starting with ATTWT, so did the quality of the album covers although Duke and shapes aren't bad.
