Here's some great ones I've noticed lately:
(http://www.headnodstatus.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/grizzly_bear-veckatimest-cover-better1.jpg)
I love the background, and especially love the typography.
(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_HZJReAhBfcA/SmPvcAlJl2I/AAAAAAAAChQ/DAxkYcuJ7C4/s400/engineers_three_fact_fader.jpg)
Perfectly plain and abstract. Goes with the music, too, in an odd painted deer kind of way.
(http://www.theghostlystore.com/mm5/graphics/00000002/tycho_past_400.jpg)
One of my favorite covers for one of my favorite albums. It's just very nice looking.
What CD is the third one?
Anyway,

Oh yeah I meant to have Frances The Mute on there too, I love that one.
The third album is Past is Prologue by Tycho.
I DOWNLOADED VECKATIMEST LAST NIGHT
This isn't my favorite album cover, but I love this style that a lot of grunge bands had.
(http://images.uulyrics.com/cover/g/green-river/album-rehab-dolldry-as-a-bone.jpg)
It's such a simple design but it was really cool on a lot of grunge LPs. If I was to record an album, I'd probably do a cover like that.
This is probably my favorite album cover ever:

A couple others that I've really liked the look of just recently:

Also, two covers I really like by bands I don't even listen to (or in the case of Academy, bands I don't even like at all):

Yeah it is a punk-style of album covers, love them too.
I like MPP's cover lol.
By the way, I actually own this book:

It's pretty damn cool.
And speaking of grunge and punk covers, I always liked the cover of Mudhoney's debut EP.
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/6d/Mudhoney_sfbm.jpg)
Yeah, that cover is awesome. In the 80's, it became a punk and grunge tradition to use black and white pictures that really say "FUCK YEAH ROCK OUT" on album covers.

I'm kinda surprised you didn't post In the Aeroplane Over the Sea or Björk's Debut, Skylark. Both of which are in my favorites, by the way.
I didn't even think that far. That's really funny. Both of those album covers have been my avatar but I didn't think to add them. I love them both dearly and am going to post pictures of them now. Thank you, Kaz!

Yeah, I'd love it on vinyl or as a print. Also a new album from them.
I like this one:

The album itself is pretty not great but I mean holy shit just look at that.
Simple, love it

Cacophony by Rudimentary Peni.
I also like this cover

Yes, but this is my favorite of their albums... The B Sides and Rarities is pretty cool too because it's scratch and sniff with 4 different scents
