The cover of the first lp of the "Yellow Magic Orchestra" has always been one of my favourites, along with King Crimson's "Larks Tongues in Aspic" (used by senior member Arsillus as avatar).

As I said in Tuxon's Album Covers Thread:
I think this cover is absolutely amazing :
Rush also has had some amazing covers, too.

Pagan's Mind. Really great art on all 3 of their albums. Pink Floyd of course deserves a mention.

They didn't have so many, but I love all of Samla Mammas Manna's album covers.

Pink Floyd as a band has the best covers,i like the covers of earlier Italian bands too,and Opeth covers are also excellent.But for the best album cover it will be Porcupine Tree's Deadwing.

OK, tough subject really...
Rush...YES I agree they have some wonderful covers BUT they also have some truly awful ones too! Think of 'Rush', '2112', 'Feedback' and 'power windows'! I do love 'Exit stage left' and 'Different stages' alot though.
Dream theater's covers are not all bad, I like 'scenes from a memory' and 'Tran of thought' (shame it was such a crap CD inside the cover of TOT though!)
Yes - well they have some greats too: 'Relayer' and 'Yesshows' are my faves.
Pink Floyd - ooooh, 'Animals' and 'Wish you were here'.
Led Zeppelin - in through the out door
ELP - brain salad surgery
Tool - Lateralus (unbelievable use of the CD medium for a cover)
OK, thats enough

I love the self-titled one, I have a thing for cheap retro looking stuff I guess.

DEVIN TOWNSEND has remarkable artworks! Especially his album "Infinity" would enjoy our BELVA! Here an example ...

I've always enjoyed it because of the 70's businessman's cheesiness.

Pink Floyd: no question.
But my personal favourite cover is ELP's Brain Salad Surgery.

Which band do you think has had the best album covers (concering ALL of thier albums) for thier entire career?
I think Pink Floyd is a front runner here. Look at: Animals, Wish You Were Here, The Divison Bell (i esp. love TDB cover). IMO, they only had two bad covers: Meddle, and Obscered by Clouds. They also had some average covers, but for the most part their covers were always exiting and original.
