I love the Songs from the wood-cover by JT. Simple, maybe not very
progged and-or spaced, but elegant, simple and very lonely in its
peculiar in its Tull-way, just like Aqualung, - both of them classics,
both music and covers in my opinion
Strange avenues where you lose all sense of direction -And everywhere is Main Street in the winter sun.

I love the lightbulb Sun cover by Porcupine Tree...
 
But other favorites are:
- In a glass House by Gentle Giant
- Foxtrot by Genesis (it's very funny to see the hunter cry on the shore because the very sick(with his red dress) fox is unreachable)
- Tarkus by ELP (I made some own Tarkus with Photoshop) and of course Brain Salad Surgery

Klaatu's "Hope."  In addition to the great painting, the LP cover was "textured" in a particularly unique way, making it look like an "old master" with cracked paint.  Amazing.

Froms LPs i like the newspaper edition of Thick As A Brick

The covers of cds are very carefully designed but i like the cover of Dt's Live at Marquee that blazing, iron-crowned heart.... Sometimes i wonder if its mine...

 Yes, Paco. I especially like Cross' artwork on Phillips' THE GEESE AND THE GHOST and WISE AFTER THE EVENT. Beautifully detailed!

I think the cover for Relayer is pretty cool too. And I thought Dean made that one too...

ROGER DEAN. Great artist.

Is anybody else a fan of Peter Cross' covers for Anthony Phillips? I realy like them, and I also think the go very well with the music.

I agree indeed. I love Woodroffe. He also made Mike Batt's 'The Hunting of the Snark' (I bought that album without knowing who was Batt only for the cover. I was only less than 6 euros though) and The Strawbs 'Burning for You', but I really fing the latter a bit ugly .

Roger Dean's cover artwork on ABWH is incredible. I have a frame, signed poster of that one hanging in my office at work. RD pulled out all the stops on that one.  

I also agree with Starship Trooper on the Tangent Cover. Beautiful. If you go to the artists web site, you can check out some really cool art.

Pallas' The Sentinel & Greenslade's The Pentateauch of the Cosmogony have excellent Patrick Woodroffe covers.  He's the only guy who out-Dean's Roger Dean, IMHO.

For a pure visual pun, however, Rush's Moving Pictures has to be the best; how many different refrences to the title can you find in that cover?

Other nice covers are from Relayer, In The Court Of The Crimson King and many Pink Floyd covers. I love the covers for Atom Heart Mother, Meddle and Ummagumma
