Well, Born Again of course Wink

Sabbath have some very very ugly ones indeed, mostly Seventh Star and Technical Ecstacy, and some that really don't really move me in any way.

I really do like Born Again, but the debut is my favourite, along with Heaven and Hell and perhaps even Master of Reality. It's not really a great looking cover, but I like the simplicity, and for some reason seeing that always makes me want to listen to the album.

The best covers: Black Sabbath, Vol. 4, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.

The worst covers: Paranoid, Sabotage (LOL), Born Again.

Notice: only studio albums.
 
My vote, without order:
Nicest, most tasteful covers:
Black Sabbath
Technical Ecstasy
Heaven And Hell
The Eternal Idol
 
Ugliest covers:
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
Born Again
Dehumanizer
A Elbereth Gilthoniel
