I especially like On the Threshold of a Dream by Moody Blues as well for very trippy sleeve notes which I used to love reading them.

Agree with Velvet Underground and Nico. You can't argue with Andy Warhol.

Sgt. Pepper is a fun sleeve as well.

As well:
In Utero - Nirvana
Roxy Music - Country Life
Atom Heart Mother - Pink Floyd
One Step Beyond - Madness

Sufjan Stevens - Illinois
mostly because it was like a splash-panel of Illinois (rightly so)

The Beatles - Revolver
and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
(especially if you have the thing that tells you every person on the cover)

Elvis Presley-Elvis Presley: In terms of iconic photographs this wins, one of the best shot ever of elvis... The layout is copied in the clashs London Calling
The 13th Floor Elevators-The Psychedelic sounds of the 13th floor elevators: Great album cover, colourful, eye catching, and continues their trend of promoting the benifits of hallucingenics
The Who-The Who sell out: Gross but at the same time extremely amusing.
The Jimi Hendrix Experience-Axis:Bold as Love/ or any other Jimi Hendrix album cover they are always great.
