I always liked The Church's (I'm not partial, am I?) album covers of
Seance, The Blurred Crusade, and Heyday (love those paisley shirts!).

I was completely fascinated by the logos Depeche Mode did for each song on Black Celebration. New Order's type treatment on Low Life was beautious, especially on the outer vellum sleeve. These albums are part of the reason I'm a graphic designer today.

Lazlo - I've always liked that Depeche Mode as well...another in the same vein is Echo and the Bunnymen's 'Heaven up Here' - swell cover.

Landscape - From the Tearooms of Mars..

Nicely done arty cup and saucer and Teletext graphics and text used for the back cover which is different to say the least but works well.

Anything by Visage. Absolutely beautiful, especially their first self-
