Well, this is a hard question. Right now I really have a lot of affection for this :
But this is a favourite too
Bobby liked it as well….

She's cute. And I like bubble gum pop. Sue me. (I am old enough that I bought this LP when it was a new release.) I just recently discovered that the "group" is basically Ron Dante who was also the biggest part of the Archies. |

Lot of great contenders:
Sgt. Pepper was the first to come to mind,
with Blind Faith popping in as a Dawg-Houseable second thought.
The lenticular version of the Stones' 'Satanic Majesties Request' is just derivative,
and the die-cut Gentle Giant 'Octopus' is too niche… hmmm
But after due consideration:
Klaatu " Hope "

Phil--Ah yes,remembering listening to that,with the screaming head cover sitting atop a chair and a pair of gloves on the arms. Good old acid. |

Back in the day, Led Zep 3 for the rotating component – play value.
Queen's Kelly Freas based artwork for News of the World.

Led Zeppelin's In Through The Out Door. We found that if you brushed water on it it would magically become a color picture. Cool stuff, especially when you are high as a kite. Other than that, Yes Fragile. |

Anything by Reid Miles on the Blue Note label, especially Midnight Blue by Kenny Burrell. Tom |
| DeRuyter | 05 Dec 2016 10:31 a.m. PST |
Another vote for "Dark Side of the Moon". Although the first one I thought of was King Crimson – already mentioned as well. Any cover with HR Geiger art. I'd add "Yellow Submarine" as well. |
| TNE2300 | 05 Dec 2016 11:28 a.m. PST |
Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon for genius level simplicity. The Beatles
aka the white album

Any of the covers by Roger Dean – particularly the series he did for Yes's albums. |
| willlucv | 05 Dec 2016 11:48 a.m. PST |

The "ORIGINAL" Pink Floyd "Meddle" cover. Later versions had rain drops falling into water or outside pics of ear canals, but the very first version had PIG NOSES! Y'know why? Because Meddle was PF's first "mainstream," album and the cover design company, Hpignosis wished to celebrate what would be long and fruitful career w/PF by having a cover of "pig noses". |
| Shagnasty | 05 Dec 2016 3:03 p.m. PST |
The cover of the "Whipped Cream" album by the Baha Marimba Band back in The Day. |

Jeff Wayne's War of the World. Ooooh, good point Vigilant. But I'm also keen by anything by Roger Dean too. John T |
