Guess I can't pick a favorite. Sorry.

Hi,

Easy ... anything by Hipgnosis!!!!!

At one time, I bought just about any album that had a Hipgnosis cover. The funny thing in the old days was that the cover was a bit of a hint about how good the music was ... and in the early days, it had some far out and some really neat stuff.

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

I don't have one ultimate favourite cover art. Too many to mention.

Yet, I can put the most cheesy cover art here. Can you see the pizza slices? They're cheesy!

Joke aside, this is Hemlock's - Exordium album cover (A really standout album BTW. An underappreciated gem from Canada.)

There is no more entertaining cover than the original release album of Thick as a Brick.
...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

That's probably a top 10 album cover for sure. The cover art is perfectly woven into the music as well
