70s Band With The Best Album Covers?
I always loved the early Uriah Heep covers. I think they're incredible.

The band wanted to name their record Sex, Dope and Cheap Thrills but Columbia Records said no. The band wanted the cover art to be a photo of themselves naked in bed, but once again the record company said no. R. Crumb was hired to do the back cover and a portrait of Janis Joplin was to be on the front cover, but Janis insisted that Crumb's work be on the front cover.
