You'd think so, but:

Though that's sort of on topic cos I really like that album (well, single) cover:

by far their worst album, by far their greatest album cover

I love this one for some reason, it really suits the music.

Perfect album, great cover to match.

Apparently the band was half-insane when they wrote the album.
You can see the insanity in their faces, as they float in the water tauntingly.

Half-insane? I've never heard that one before, though it wouldn't surprise me.
Spiderland is so haunting and bleak, you'd have to be in a dark place to make such an album.

a dark and brilliant place.

Something I've been listening to fairly recently that strikes me as an awesome cover...

Dunno what it is about it, other than it being awesome of course.

I'm sure some of these have been mentioned ...

Queen, News of the World (Love the artwork)

Jay Reatard, Blood Visions (Visual sums up the music perfectly)

Bob Dylan, The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan (Young love in photo form)

U2, War (Just a gripping portrait of said boy)

The Rascals, Greatest Hits (Great comic book-type illustration)

I would say U2-War-Boy is a lot more angry-looking than sad-looking
