I quite like Origin of Symmetry by Muse, and a lot of their artwork is quite interesting. Radiohead artwork is pretty mindblowing also. Weather Report covers are quite cool (why the hell is there a hat on Heavy Weather???).

My favourite of all time is Yes - Relayer. Psychotic Waltz's A Social Grace is incredible, too, as is Into the Everflow. Just off the top of my head, excluding Roger Dean's covers, ITCOCK and SFAM also stand out.

Any Roger Dean or Patrick Woodroffe cover. They all impact at first look and definitely sell albums.
