Animals and Fragile are just beautiful album covers. Atom Heart Mother is not beautiful by any means but it is just a classic album cover for me. The other two I love simply because of the mood they put out. Smile

I'm only going to post the actual cover of my favorite.
 
Others: Abacab/Genesis; The Tubes/eponymous; Newborn/James Gang; and TFTO/Yes (actually for the inside gatefold--I'd love to have that as a print!)
BTW, you did realize that the cover of King Crimson's Islands shown above is not the original version; it's
If the cover hadn't changed, I doubt it would contend for top honors.

Felona E Sorona is comfortably my favourite ever album cover. Asia, Les Porches, The Quiet Zone/The Pleasure Dome and Lady Lake might be the rest.
