Sorry, I've just always hated that cover Brick wall, like the rest of your picks though.

I hear ya, I find it charming in how it seems like someone with absolutely no artistic ability painted it.

My two favorites. Beggars Banquet through Exile all had great covers.

Nothing I've seen in my lifetime can come close to topping the original cover of This Will Destroy You's self-titled album.

Unknown Pleasures absolutely kills the competition at the minimalist end of the spectrum, though.

The best cover ever: REVOLVER, hands down! Especially because it fits perfectly with "Tomorrow Never Knows" Laughing

On the subject of awesome album covers, here are some more:

    Trout Mask Replica
    Rubber Soul (that stretched out sorta cover is awesome)
    Who's Next (something about it makes it look so beautiful and modern, sort of)
    Freak Out!
    Paranoid
    The Velvet Underground and Nico
    My Generation
    Exile on Main St.
    London Calling (I love that photo on the cover so freaking much, absolutely killer)
    Elvis Presley (I can't decide which is funnier, this or London Calling)
    A Rush of Blood to the Head
    The Who Sell Out (amusing indeed)
    OK Computer
    The College Dropout
    The Great Twenty-Eight
    Pet Sounds
    The SMiLE Sessions
    Nevermind
    Never Mind The Bollocks
    The Wall
    Black Sabbath
    Black Sabbath Vol. 4
    Something Else By The Kinks
    Blood on the Tracks
    Bringing It All Back Home
    Imagine


Will add more later. Or sooner.
