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.

Radiohead – "OK Computer"

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.

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???
