Rush - Moving Pictures
I used to sit and stare at this cover, trying to decipher its secrets while half expecting it to suddenly come to life. It's disturbing and creepy, but in an extremely subtle way. It's arguably the greatest album cover from a band who had more than their fair share of great covers.

It is a great cover, but it gets away with being cheesey in the same way most rock lyrics get away with being bad poetry.
Interesting point, Bob, especially being as I think Neil Peart excels at passing off bad poetry (and prose) as rock lyrics. He's had a few moments over the years, but the lyrical stinkers far outweigh the good ones.
I like a lot of Rush covers. Hemispheres may be my favorite.
I like most of Rush's covers, for different reasons. This is one of them. Power Windows is one of the few exceptions.
The best thing about this one is the basic pun. Priceless.

What, you don't think Hold Your Fire is a visual masterpiece? ; )
I too used to sit and stare at this cover for many reasons.
