Here's a few that I like a lot

Hawkwind's - Space Ritual

Boss Hogg - Drinkin' Lyin' & Letchin - as a teen, for obvious reasons...

Einsturzende Neubauten - Halber Mensche - those teeth around the edge still creep me out.

Anything by Foetus, though esp 'Nail'. He had a real eye for a catching design. all that situationist stuff was lovely.

Bunnymen - Heaven Up Here, Porcupine, Ocean Rain.
There was something epic about the covers of the 2nd,3rd and 4th' albums for me, esp 'Heaven'. I could stare at that for hours, and accompanied by the music, it really took me places.

Joy Div - Unknown Pleasures
Faust - Faust Tapes (original vinyl)
Both of the above have a similar visual vibe for me. I like geometry and the geometric.

The Warlocks - US version of Phoenix (and all the early releases TBH)

Anything by Broadcast/ Ghostbox. I love pretty much everything I've seen by Julian House

The Heads - Any of those early - mid period albums and singles had great graphics, esp 'Everybody Knows we Got Nowhere' Mmmm, nice lady.

Oneida - The Wedding and most of the covers since. Again, it's that geometric/illustration/pattern vibe I love.

And lastly for now,
The Incredible String Band - The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter.
I like the way their dressed, I like that it's winter, dunno, I just like it.
