What's your favorite album cover art ?


While re-organizing my album collection, I found myself admiring the quality and beauty of the album cover jacket. One artist that really caught my attention was Roger Dean who did all (most) of the YES cover jackets. You just don't get this quality of art on CD jewel case inserts. What are your favorite album cover jacket art?

I guess I have it bad...I admit to actually collecting and using album covers as art on my walls in my listening room. There is a great book, "The Ultimate Album Cover Album", by Roger Dean and David Howells, Prentice Hall, 1987. ISBN# 0-13-935750-5. This work provides an interesting history of album cover art and many photos.

Some favorites:

Blind Faith (1969)
Houses of the Holy-Led Zeppelin
Dark Side of the Moon-Pink Floyd
Yes- Relayer
Playing Possum-Carly Simon
Hotel California-Eagles
Asia-Asia
Joni Mitchell-Dod Eat Dog (Geffen)
Bruce Springsteen-Born in The USA

BTW, I also hang favorite laser disc covers in a home theatre room.
