Perhaps not quite as iconic as Pink Floyd or Yes album covers, Rush has had a nice variety of distinctive covers over the years. Which is a standout for you? Please vote irregardless of your feelings (good or bad) about the music contained within.

For space purposes I could not include all live and compilation releases, so I've kept the list strictly studio.

My fave I think is Roll the Bones for having such a richly detailed painting, although Test for Echo, Moving Pictures, and Presto (bunnies!) are also high on my list.

I actually do like that look of devastation that's on "A Farewell to Kings" along with the disheveled fella on the right. LOL

I like the Magritte vibe of Hemispheres. I think the Moving Pictures cover is incredibly stupid, yet it still makes me laugh.

None stand out for me.  I actually like Fly By Night but it doesn't beat Permanent Waves.
Help me I'm falling!

Another one for "Test for Echo"

Not a band I really associate with great album covers.  Great albums yes, but not covers.
 
I've always liked Grace Under Pressure so voted for that.  Test For Echo is pretty good too.
