Just to look at album covers, it has to be Dark side and wish you were here.

But for pure album cover genius (vinyl), it has to be Jethro Tull's "Thick as a brick". It takes longer to read the cover than it does to listen to the album. Not only that, you simply can't stop laughing reading the cover..................it's just fantastic.
