Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...but you'd need to put a double barrelled shotgun to my head to agree to most of these on here, regarded as beautiful.

Tangerine Dream had more than a few excellent album covers, BSS was superb, Roger Deans stuff was great, Pink Floyd had a few beauties. Some Klaus Schulze stuff was impressive, but one of my favourites was Dave Greensalde's The Pentatecuh of the Cosmogony.

Rush, Traffic and similar et al were minging.

Not a proper list, but I decided to post these here.  Aren't they excellent?

3. Seventh Wonder - Mercy Falls



4. Riverside - Schizophrenic Prayer



5. Therion - Lemuria



That's it for now, there are a lot of other covers I love - Pendragon's starting from The Masquerade Overture for example, and many others. I will post them when they come to mind.
