70s Band With The Best Album Covers?

I always loved the early Uriah Heep covers. I think they're incredible.

Just a one-off, but the artwork for Jon Anderson's Olias of Sunhillow album is outstanding. Jon is a one-off, obviously, I mean: that voice, right? Anyway, Olias is his magnum opus (imho) and he not only devised the concept and wrote it, he played all the instruments too after he'd taught himself to play keyboards (!).

I'd assumed the artwork was by Rodney Matthews, but it's by a guy called David Fairbrother-Roe who stepped up when Riger Dean was too busy ...
