Amarok has a great cover, but I would have to say that my favourite covers are tubular bells III, and Five Miles Out.
TB3 is just consciously a far more 'perfect' design than the other bell covers, even the actual bell itself is less bent, formed into a slightly more artistic shape than the others, and the plain background makes it stand out much more. Don't get me wrong, the other bells are great too, but I personally like 3 the best (but just barely).
FMO was the first album I bought on vinyl simply for the cover art. Too many people my age have forgotten that whatever the advantages of cd's and downloads, the artwork is far more impressive on vinyl, and the cover of Five Miles Out is an excellent example. I bought it (and later TB1), just to frame and hang on the wall.
