What is your favorite album cover? Mine is In the Court of the Crimson King, followed by all the covers Rodger Dean did for Yes.

I've always liked Gentle Giant's Octopus
Highway 61 Revisited has always been a favorite album cover of mine. Probably because the young, akward looking Dylan always gives me a chuckle

Stand Up. The woodcut carving thing? Awesome. Wish I had a shirt with that...

My favorite tull cover has always been "A Passion Play" although i took me some hours to figure out what it was picturing...
The coolest, however, is without a doubt Funkadelic's Maggot Brain

I am a bit biased but I love Daevid Allen's coverart for Gong! I also had Daevid do the coverart for my CD, UFOsmosis:

The Roger Dean's Yes covers are my favorite. I also like Camel's, Genesis', Rush's and Pink Floyd's cover art. Good cover art is important to me

That's part of the whole prog experience, ain't it?
Almost forgot: We're Only In It For the Money by Zappa and his lads. Good cover, even if I've never heard the album.
