Priest and Maiden has some great cover art. But the Black Album is certainly the most colourful cover art I've seen.

savatage has the best cover art of any band i can think of right now. they are all just amazing (well fight for the rock doesn't count) and i know that the cover of streets is just the band members, but on the inside is the pic of criss's guitar with the roses...amazing.

Megadeth-Peace Sells...(classic metal record)
Judas Priest-Rocka Rolla(orginal cover with "Coke" logo & artwork-shit record overall, but like the album cover)
KISS-Creatures of the Night(the cover looked a bit evil back in the day, it was a different direction by the band, they actually made an attempt at something original-remember how the eyes looked like they were glowing?!)
Iron Maiden-Somewhere In Time(love that record, loved looking at the LP & trying to see all the details in the background)
Iron Maiden-Live After Death(Another Killer cover!)
Too many more good ones to list, you get an idea.:hotjump:
