UFO (every cover from Phenomenon thru Wild, Willing..Wings, Yes, Sabbath, Genesis, Scorps (yeah, those two covers) the list is truly endless. If you are truly interested in the art form of Album covers pick up 'Walk Away Irene' by Hipgnosis on Ebay. O yeah...props to Roger Dean, Derek Riggs. nuff said

well when I think of art work several things pop into my head, as I grew up in the 80's when it was vogue to draw the logo's on your notebook...I still see the TS of Twisted Sister, the VH of Van Halen, the Def Leppard logo, Thin Lizzy etc..

My absolute favorite album cover art work, the one that stills tands out in my mind after all this time, and I still marvel at, HYSTERIA!

Runners up: The 1st 2 Hurricane albums, Take What You Want, and Over The Edge<G>
