Paul Whitehead (e.g. some Genesis and VDGG albums), and on Alex Carpani both albums among others, also like a lot Tage Ĺsen responsable for some Coste Apetrea albums, Sammla Mannas, and almost all releated bands to these two.

That's really difficult. My favourites would be Hipgnosis, Roger Dean and Paul Whitehead.

Okay, If I must choose: Paul Whitehead, and then especially because of his classic trilogy of Genesis covers and Peter Hammill's Fools Mate cover.

Cover art of  "In The Court..." is really iconic and invincible for me! It's interesting that's only one Godber's painting and he died shortly after the album's release...

I vote for Dean, but if you like this kind of things pay a visit to www.senmuth.com. Valery Av is a designer and all the cover arts of his more than 100 albums are designed by him.

Roger Dean, Hipgnosis or Whitehead - I'll vote Dean because I love his imagery.

As an individual artist, I have to go with Dean, but the Hipgnosis group (I'm assuming it wasn't a single artist) did some fantastic work.  H.R. didn't do that many album covers that I know of but the BSS was awesome.  He was a rather prolific artist though perhaps best known for his work for the movie Alien. 
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Nothing tops Barry Godber's  In The Court Of The Crimson King.  Its disturbing and intriguing.

Some of these inclusions of are horrific in my opinion. But i guess that's the point of an opinion.

Voted Rodger dean, because very few of the others really blow me away.
