What album cover do you think best portrays the themes, moods and images produced by the songs within the album?
Ex: King Crimson’s In the Court of the Crimson King

Radiohead – "OK Computer"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Radiohead.okcomputer.albumart.jpg
The cover and the artwork capture the mood and themes of the album perfectly. I can’t think of a better example of this in any other album artwork.

Daydream Nation comes to mind. I don’t really know why, but the cover really fits.
Same with Wish You Were Here.

The White Album ~ The Beatles
…because seriously… how can a 12"x12" album cover hope to convey the variety that lies within…. from Rocky Raccoon to Revolution #9 to Glass Onion to Ob-la-di-ob-la-da to Back in the USSR to Sexy Sadie to Blackbird to Helter Skelter???

Here are a few at random and only one from each artist in no order:
The Beatles – Sgt Pepper
Grateful Dead – Blues For Allah
Pink Floyd – Meddle
King Crimson – Lizard
Traffic – Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys
Utopia – Oops! Wrong Planet
Moody Blues – This Is The Moody Blues
ELO – Time
Yes – Fragle
Camel -Moon Madness
Genesis – Foxtrot
Gong – The Flying Teapot
The Marshall Tucker Band – A New Life
Bob Dylan – Bringing It All Back Home
This isn’t everything by a long shot and they aren’t even all my favorites by the artists but the covers do fit the music.
