I must confess being easily attracted to the work of Pushead, former singer of cult hardcore band Septic Death and creator of visuals for Prong, Metallica, etc. and also his own band.
I also dig Giger's work on ELP's "Brain Salad Surgery", Celtic Frost's "To Mega Therion" or Carcass' "Heartwork".
French drawer Philippe Druillet had created covers for interesting metal bands (Agressor, Sortilege, Proton Burst), William Sheller and Richard Pinhas (leader of Heldon).

Got to throw Mati Klarwein into the mix, perhaps most famous for Miles Davis' Bitches Brew cover.  Here's a site dedicated to his work.

Paul Whitehead followed by Hypgnosis

Tough choice for me between Roger Dean and Hipgnosis.  The latter I think was more prolific.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Paul Whitehead for me.  My mind asploded when I saw the gatefold covers for "Trespass," "Nursery Cryme," and "Foxtrot."
