I don't even know the album too well, but I think this is an awesome cover.

I usually appreciate cover art for all these reasons separately, but combined here, it blows my mind:
-it's a painting
-it's a beautiful portrait
-it's a self-portrait at that
-the painter is also the musical artist contained within
-she's Canadian

And it has one of the all-time best songs on there, Both Sides Now. nod

Not really my favorite, but I think it's definitely the best image/album title combo I've seen:

Still don't know what the cover is about, with a young Stevie with an afro and a crazy look on his face in the background of some strange looking clouds. Well, whatever it is, it sure is beautiful. I think Stevie is trying to say that "With love, there is always light at the end of the tunnel".

And this would definitely have to be my 2nd fave:

Yma Sumac's Mambo



King Crimson-In the Court of the Crimson King. I LOVE the artwork for it.

for me, its both.

I am a big fan, but I think the London Calling cover is an artistically clever parody...
