I love all the covers:

Piper - the effect is interesting
A Saucerful of Secrets - I love the hidden images on it (Dr. Strange, Living Tribunal, the green bottles), very cool to look at it
More - probably the only one which is not that cool
Ummagumma - the never ending cycle of images is awesome and I love how they have the same position in every picture (only they swap places)
Atom Heart Mother - I love random album covers
Meddle - interesting idea of album cover
Obscured By Clouds - that blurry picture is very relevant to the music on it
The Dark Side Of The Moon - ICONIC
Wish You Were Here - the most emotional of them
Animals - my favorite suits the music very well
The Wall - just a plain white wall
The Final Cut - suits the theme of the album very well
A Momentary Lapse of Reason - I must salute the effort of bringing 700 hospital beds on a beach just for one picture
The Division Bell - my second favorite, suits the theme of the album very well

You got that right, Monolith. Agree on every single one.

I like that cover too - first time I saw it I tried to figure out everything that was on it. It took me a while to find the picture of the band!

My wallpaper/screen saver is a pic of ASOS cover reflected sideways in a mirror!

Defietly Wish You Were Here. In fact, I think of every image I have ever looked upon, it is my favorite thing to look at. It's fills me with awe.

Completely agreed, especially on the AMLoR. except for Atom Heart Mother. I don't think the cover is random, more so, it fits the music.

I agree with this. I love The Division Bell cover, it's yet another one of their albums where the jacket itself could be an art piece. I know people who have multiple copies of DSOTM and one is framed and hung up somewhere. I can understand how some people might think it boring because really....there's not much to it. But the simplicity of the cover belies the simplicity of the music. If that album had some wild and wacky cover....it wouldn't look right.

On the contrary, the music is pretty complex, so I think it balances out with the simplicity of the cover.
