Which band has the best art work in your opinion?

(WHY DO I HAVE A FEELING THE OVERWHELMING ANSWER IS GONNA BE YES?)

I love Yes album covers, and although Asia is a horrible band, they have amzing album artwork as well.
something pretentious

I agree. However I also like Early Genesis' artwork.

Is there any contest: The Black Crowes - Amorica

http://rateyourmusic.com/view_album_details/album_id_is_4965

 

Seriously though, there are too many great covers to pick a favourite, but a cover that manages to go well together with the music is always great. I miss the days of the LP where covers really made an impact. The size of a CD cover leaves much to be desired!

Album covers like this

As I say on a thread covering (pun there) the same subject several months ago, check out the LP version of Man's Be Good To Yourself at Least Twice A Day, the fold out has not been beaten in 25 years.

Superb inner sleeve. A pop-up/fold-out map of Wales with loads of info pertinent to Welsh culture.....Oh! and Shaking Stevens & the Sunsets.
