What album covers really sticks in your head?that you recognize instantly or just find so odd that you remember it

Mine are
Queen's A Night At The Opera,I just really like it,simple white with a modified Queen logo and album name

Led Zeppelin's ,it's a good album and I really like the front cover,and the inside sleeve,interesting about it is that the album has no name,usually just called IIII,or Zoso

King Crimson's
Court Of The Crimson King,I have never listened to the album,nor do I have an opinion on King Crimson,but the cover is....special for some reason,there's something about it:what:

I could go on for days but I mentioned my top 3(at least for now)
Now,what are "your" albums?

Homesick by A day to remember, I just really like that album cover, I don't know why, but I do, I got a skin for my ipod that's the album cover.

That's all I can think of right now. Breaking Ben is always the first thing I think of when I think of music.

Dark Side Of The Moon - Pink Floyd

It, in my eyes is the most instantly recognisable album cover in history, And will forever be linked to one of the greatest bands of all time.

King Crimson's
Court Of The Crimson King,I have never listened to the album,nor do I have an opinion on King Crimson,

You should give the album a listen, I think you'd like it! Some of my favorite album covers are We Are The Night from the Chemical Brothers, and Depeche Mode's Construction Time Again.

Cool thread.
A couple which heap in my mind:
Zeppelin's IV Album, stunning in it's simplicity and mystery:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/54/Led_Zeppelin_-_.jpg
Black Label Society's Shot to Hell, I find the fact that they genuinely chilled with real Nuns for the album cover, they were actually drunk XD

Pantera Cowboys From Hell, cool stuff. Love Dime's Dean From Hell in it:

Avantasia's Wicked Symphony seems to stick in my head for some reason:

One of my favourite all time albums, love the scarab reference on Journey's album art:
