Your nominations here.

Might be nice to include some reasoning on this one. Compilations allowed.

Unhalfbricking because it's such an interesting photograph.

Unhalfbricking, because of the daring way in which they had neither the band name nor album title on the cover

I'd probably go for Full House partly because I just like the design but also because of RT's sleeve notes on the back.

For a more recent release I do like By Popular Request with the 45 years\ 45 single idea. And it's a good photo of Peggy and Chris.

Yes, Unhalfbricking. I love the atmosphere the sleeve portrays with the band half hidden in Sandy's parents' garden. Whilst looking again at the cover, I came across a picture of the same scene taken recently.

Not really my most favorite which has already been mentioned but I'll add Babbacombe Lee. The faded and full sized photo really adds to the music inside.
