Well, as a very young boy, I always seemed to really like Roxy Music's Country Life album cover for some strange reason: http://imgur.com/2pt2R (NSFW).
But the first album cover that truly excited my mind was probably Joy Division's Substance: http://i.imgur.com/UaT0G.jpg (SFW). The typeface on Substance's cover was developed by Wim Crouwel: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wim_Crouwel and the font itself is called New Alphabet: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Alphabet_(typeface) Here is it's entry in the MoMA: http://www.moma.org/collection/browse_results.php?object_id=...
