Simple enough, post some of your favourite album covers.

Here's some of my favourites:

Fields - Fields
Egg - The Polite Force
Tangerine Dream - Cyclone
Cybotron - Cybotron
Hawkwind - Warrior on the Edge of Time
Akritas - Akritas
Krokodil - An Invisible World Revealed
Horus - Stelle di Battaglia
Nosferatu - Nosferatu
Sand - Golem
Anything done by the great Roger Dean, such as Gentle Giant's Octopus
And any of the early Klaus Schulze albums, such as Timewind, that have that surreal Expressionist style.

to me personally I like the modern prog bands art work like dream theater's dark clouds & silver linings and  transatlantic covers i really think they have a unique style even though they are made by computers. then again are there any bad prog artworks in the majority of prog rock?

A really nice 3D CD artwork:

The lid plastic has grooves and as you twist the case back and forth a little the fog like pattern moves.
The OP mentioned...
I like this better than Deans:

It was cut to jar shape at the top.
