Yes had some great album covers, but for some reason King Crimson's first album is special to me. Check it out.

Alan Parson's and Al Stewart's were also great. I think most of them were done by Hipgnosis.

I still have the Captain Beyond 3-D cover. I love that album, top 5 of all time in my book.

I kinda have a soft spot in my heart for the ZZ Top Eliminator cover.

Nice and simple... sweet car, great music.

I used to drool over the ZZ Top Tres Hombres inner cover photo.

WoW!!! That ELP cover sure brings back memories. I like one of the first Kansas covers, the one with the Jim Bowie type guy on the front.
