What album cover is better? 
Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band

Genre: pop, Psychedelic rock
Album art designed by Peter Blake and Jann Haworth, his wife and artistic partner, and photographed by Michael Cooper
or

Album art by Barry Godber (1946–1970), a computer programmer, who painted the album cover. Godber died in February 1970 of a heart attack, shortly after the album's release. It would be his only painting, and is now owned by Robert Fripp.

Well, that's what I call a match! Sgt. Pepper's is funny, but King Crimson's awesome. Seeing it on a full 12'' cover is really something.

Yeah both are great covers... And both have become somewhat iconic, especially Sgt Pepper
I went with my nomination, Sgt. Pepper.
P.S. Hayden, your question says "what album is better", you might want to change that

Thanks, just did
This is probably the hardest match-up of the current polls...I have no clue who'll win.

Voted!
Had to go with Sgt. Pepper. Both are great, but my edge to The Beatle's album.

The Beatles had the nerve 2 put The Great Beast on Peppers. That breaks the tie for me.

Sgt Peppers is leading big time. Interesting...
Well, they're both brilliant obviously.

I went for Sgt Pepper - because I have always enjoyed the 'guess who' game inherent in playing with the album cover.
