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.

 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.

Actually I think most King Crimson albums deserve a mention of sorts. Especially this one
and
Vroooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom!
They have to be awarded worst album cover too unfortunately with
THRAK!
I mean what the heck is that????????????

This is both lazy and unfair, but I'm just going to say anything by Roger Dean.

(You might as well consider Trespass and Foxtrot also tied for first spot.)

 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.
