TOOL - NO QUARTER. they brought led zeppelin's classic and made it into an excellently produced and more clear and epic piece. this is a hard one to track down, in its in a limited edition boxset called salival.

Assuming we are talking covers as in receptacles for albums - I have to admit to being a sucker for the artwork of Roger Dean (which I guess you either love or hate) particularly on 'Close to the Edge' - I have a fondness for the black and white cover of Floyd's 'Relics' (which, sadly, I started colouring in when in my teens.. oh dear). Also like cover of Led Zep III (the one with the rotating disk in it).

I like the UK release of "Octopus" by Gentle Giant (the Roger Dean cover). Another great one by Roger Dean of course is "Tales from Topographic Oceans."

Glass Hammers "Lex Rex" - quite unusual and brilliant. Otherwise all Roger Dean's covers and of course the great King Crimson's ITCOTCK

Who you callin' an aging hippy, man?
I'd find it difficult to choose between Roger Dean's covers, but probably plump for 'Relayer' (almost monochrome, an absolute classic); but then there's ITCOTCK (one I suspect will get many votes), 'Brain Salad Surgery' (sorry 3F, I appear to have agreed with you on something, I'll try not to do it again ), but if I had to choose one cover as a piece of artwork to go on the wall, I'd probably go for the disturbing English pastoral scene that is Genesis's 'Nursery Cryme'.

The original 12" version of Jethro Tull's 'Thick as a Brick is great', but my favorite would have to be 'Saucerful of Secrets' by Pink Floyd (one of three albums where they actually appear on the cover). I also like Tull's 'Broadsword and the Beast' and ELP's self titled album.
