another thread prompted me to do this.
i would hate this band if it weren't for the penguins on the cover (i've never heard their music)

and when you post a cover, please explain why it's so great unless it's 'hitting-you-over-the-head-with-a-sledgehammer-fantastic' great.
I think these are both self-explanatory...

BECK'S SEA CHANGE: ROCKS!
That's not what my strokes cover looks like!
I don't think that version was released in the US and Canada. I think that is the Australian album cover.
QuoteThat's not what my strokes cover looks like!
It's the english cover and got a lot of heat over there. So their mangement had them change the cover for the u.s. You can buy it from such sources as cdnow.com.
Why should a cover like that get any heat? It's showing no more than a woman in short shorts would.
Oh, did anybody know that CDnow got bought out by amazon? I used to go there to listen to audio clips from cd's because amazon only lets you hear samples from the first 5 tracks, so that sucks.
I refused to buy Is This It in the American version; that cover was so lame. Luckily, Best Buy is pretty good about carrying imports these days, so I just picked it up there for a few dollars more.
I have both versions...
the UK version has New York City Cops on it.

I like the Depeche Mode covers... the albums are of varying quality, though (esp.
Ultra and ESPECIALLY
Exciter, which was a major disappointment to me). I probably like the
Violator sleeve the best, and it's probably my favorite album... though
Music for the Masses has probably my favorite Depeche song ever, "Never Let Me Down Again."

Oops, sorry (though I wouldn't post a sleeve unless I thought it was obvious why it was great).
I like the Smiths cover for its color, cinematic essence, and because it's Shelagh Delaney.
I like the Bowie cover for its starkness and androgyny.
The Black Box Recorder cover for its bitter socioeconomic sarcasm.
The PJ Harvey cover for its gritty, oversaturated photographic quality and that phallic camera.
The Suede cover for its genderless tenderness.
The Pulp cover for its reptilian decadence and detachment from its own pornographic qualities.
The Go-Go's cover for its innocuous charm and humor.
The Roxy Music cover for its Warholian plasticity, contrasting with the album's title and theme.
figured out the image dealio......here are mine with pics

I like the polluting-factory cover (none of the rest are my cuppa at all- I particularly dislike Floyd and Zep covers).
What is it?

Ah... so much better than that awful triangle-prism cover... I'll just enjoy the cover art here without putting myself through the music, thanks. :)

Chemical Brothers - Dig Your Own Hole
My favorite album cover EVER:
(https://xixax.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.amazon.com%2Fimages%2FP%2FB00005NGW9.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg&hash=e9e133f47ceb3ed431c7a4ead82bf792321a8e95)
Jucifer, Calling All Cars On The Vegas Strip
A decent album by a (semi-)local band, but really, it doesn't do justice to that wonderful cover image.
There have been a lot of good ones in this (old) thread... I'll submit a couple of other faves shortly.

I've grown quite attached to the cover to Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers. It's just a really nice image.
(https://xixax.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.amazon.com%2Fimages%2FP%2FB000003RXC.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg&hash=2b90062fbce1d0bf2f59a9de6e0a2a692955af39)
I also really like this Starflyer 59 cover (Leave Here a Stranger). Beatuiful photograph that really encapsulates a lot of the emotions on the album.

Word.
They kind of followed on the tradition of the Smiths, except that The Smiths took their shots (http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000002L9J.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg) from real films (http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000002L5P.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg), while Belle (http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00005OM55.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg) & (http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00005OM56.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg) Sebastian (http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00000I2SI.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg) created (http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0000CBHQ1.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg) their (http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00004T8ZB.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg) own (http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00000I9MK.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg).
I've often said that Belle & Sebastian are my favorite band, though the ranking shuffles a lot, and without warning. Still, they're always near the top.

One of my favorites from my younger days:

This next one is also one of my favorite albums... apparently it scared the crap out of some reviewers back in the day, though it isn't considered shocking in this day and age:
(https://xixax.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.amazon.com%2Fimages%2FP%2FB00006LLOG.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg&hash=fef5756de1ca1792c6d8b9471d438305d782c8af)
This cover pre-dates Peter Greenaway by a decade or so- I wish this image was bigger, but I have to include it because it fascinated me as a teenager...
(https://xixax.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.amazon.com%2Fimages%2FP%2FB00005CDNK.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg&hash=867c3752981960c7722ac76ea65cac2ddabf67fe)
I still think this one captures the feeling of the music perfectly:

...as does this one, which freaked me out when I saw it as a kid- although maybe I just always had that image in my mind whenever I heard this album. Regardless, it's a brilliant cover:
