Agree about Autoamerican, I have a vinyl wall rack with it at the front. Looks amazing!
Some of my other favourites... Scissor Sisters - Night Work http://www.google.com/imgres?q=NIGHT...w=1280&bih=636 Blondie - Plastic Letters (Purely because this album didn't have a name until the sign accidentally showed up in the picture) http://www.google.com/imgres?q=blond...w=1280&bih=636 No Doubt - Tragic Kingdom http://www.google.com/imgres?q=no+do...w=1280&bih=636 Kid Cudi - Man On The Moon 2 http://www.google.com/imgres?q=kid+c...w=1280&bih=636 Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Fever To Tell http://www.google.com/imgres?q=yeah+...w=1280&bih=636 And finally, as much as I dislike most of her music... The cover art for Rihanna's Loud is stunning. http://www.google.com/imgres?q=rihan...w=1280&bih=636 |

Off the top of my head, I've always liked Santogold's album cover art;

There are a few album covers that I like, it's the first thing I tend to notice when buying music. I'm into a lot of R&B/Soul music and a lot tend to be really out there, one I like is this one:
Joy Jones - Godchild |

A controversial choice perhaps, but I though Hard-Fi's Once Upon A Time In The West artwork was simply genius! http://www.amiright.com/album-cover-...n-the-West.jpg

![]() Actually, it's so bad you have to admire the balls to use it which makes it somewhat good.

I love album cover artwork, I think it really adds to your experience of the music.
Julian House is one of my favourite designers, he's done a lot of very iconic sleeves: http://rateyourmusic.com/list/Karel/...y_julian_house I love all his Primal Scream stuff, especially Echo Dek. |

The original "lego" packaging of Very by Pet Shop Boys. Most of New Order's stuff (pre: Republic).
Depeche Mode's Violator. Sticky Fingers by the Stones. |
