John Dyer Baizley (also of Baroness) has had a prolific 12 months:
Baroness - The Red Album 
Pig Destroyer - Phantom Limb 
Cursed - III: Architects Of Troubled Sleep 
Skeletonwitch - Beyond The Permafrost 
Darkest Hour - Deliver Us 
I've cheated a bit and put up the original, un-tampered with art here, but none of them suffer too gravely from the intrusion of logos, and Cursed and Baroness covers are totally unchanged.

The Clash - London Calling.
Every time.
Iron Maiden's A Matter Of Life And Death is a topper as well. 
I'd say Maiden have the best covers. Also the best merch. Hands fucking down.

You can pick pretty much any Black Flag and stick it up here. Pettibon is/was a genius.

This is probably heavily influenced by the quality and impact of the lbum itself but I love this. 
Same idea here. Maybe I just like the blue/purple

^^^ Maiden sure have a lot of great covers.
Obvious choice but I love Sgt Pepper's, partly because it was the first album I ever owned. The included cut-out moustache / sgt stripes etc was a stroke of genius.
More recently... LemonJelly's Lost Horizons is just beautiful, on vinyl it's a big gatefold affair that looks like this:

The Blue Monday vinyl sleeve is a classic. | |

I love the photoshopping skills in this one..
speaking of photoshopping, was this madonna a stand in or did they really take the time to photoshop her? 
if it was photoshopped, I wish to study this person.
I can't find the rest of the album covers that I favor, so I'll post again later. | |
