For me, it's U2's Rattle and Hum (1988).

I prefer the cover of The Cramps' Bad Music for Bad People (1984).

Without a doubt, The Cars' Candy-O.

Here's a visual, just to reinforce the point.

Spoiler for Candy-O:

Not so much because of the eye candy aspect (though that doesn't hurt), but because it fits the band and the album like a glove.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers tend to have cool album covers.

I really like Breaking Benjamin's album covers; they're very meaningful if you listen to all their songs, keep up with the bios and 'stories' behind the band members, and watch their music videos. And it doesn't hurt that they look pretty bad*** too.
