No question about mine. I went to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame a few years back, and by far the coolest thing there (perhaps aside from Bruce Springsteen's note to his band to not eat the food in his fridge) was the actual bass from this picture, with its shattered neck and broken strings. I was in awe. :077: :077: :077:

And a few others I've always dug:

The Cult, Sonic Temple--just 'cause it's badass

Robbie Robertson--Not really sure why I like it so much, but it totally fits the mood of the music.

Mile Davis, Bitches Brew--from the Totally Fucked Out of My Skull on Every Drug Known to Man category (aka the Roger Dean Yes Album Cover category ;))

Sugar Ray, Lemonade and Brownies--just cause I'm a perv and like looking at Nicole Eggert naked :p

I need to find some, but how about the Molly hatchet covers

[bigguy]

I can think of 2 . Symbolically , Keith green's "No Compromise " Made an incredible statement Which I mentally refer to to this day ( He died in a plane crash in 79 I think )

The other was by Mustard Seed Faith , actually made it into a book of the greatest Album covers . The record was titled " Sail on Sailor , a positive bent on the Beach Boys song . Also on the same record was " Sidney the Pirate " Cool band, I got to know their Flute and keyboard player.

The Album cover depicted a Vintage sailing gunship atop a crest of a wave , and continuing it's voyage into the skies of an incredible sunset .

Yeah, it's hard to argue against that cover. Just a classic classic image.

Good music too.
