There's a website where you can buy a "Stand Up" throw.
It's 4' x 4' and looks great. I think there's a link to it from the Jethro Tull website.

Here's the link anyway: http://www.kkllc.com/tull.htm

I love Charlie White's GG Octopus cover. That's one time when someone else outdid Mr Dean. Dean's Octopus cover (see it in the book Views) doesn't touch it!

my favourite cover
and album
yes I have to agree...the centrefold to CTTE is a great piece of art, resurected nicely on the Rhino remasters couple of years back.  I find "In the Court of the Crimson King" a startling cover, still has huge impact - even at CD size! "Larks Tongues in Apsic" is a favourite of mine, also Pink Floyd's "Animals" - I remember all the fuss with the flying pig at the time. Of recent copvers, I'm impressed by The Mars Volta's "Ampechtecture" (sorry if I've mis-spelt that!) - a sort of Andy Warhol meets Grant Wood.

Great posts so far. I'm especially fond of Rush, Camel, Yes, Ayreon, Magellan, Spock's beard, Shadow Gallery's covers (you know which ones.) Nothing beats this though:

This one's pretty great. And missing in the archives too.
Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

If you own this in the original gatefold sleeve, check out Ronnie Dio's perfectly formed right breast!!

There are many album covers I like, for example, the covers of Jethro Tull's for The Broadsword and the Beast (I like these pseudo-runic writings too) or Stormwatch, Gentle Giant's self-titled album and The Power and the Glory, King Crimson's albums... There are, indeed, too many to name them all. But (and here I am not an original at all) above all -- the fabulous works by Roger Dean -- not all of them, but most of them. The most favourite cover, however, is not in PA -- it's Keith Tippett's Dedicated To You But You Weren't Listening.

This has been done many times before.

Anyways, a current favourite of mine is And the Glass Handed Kites by Mew:
