^ LOL, I thought about posting that one but I so often do. It's one of the weirder ones, but she's got quite a rack. Also, while it looks like it would be hot there, it's obviously quite cold.

I take it you all realise that the Beast "is" Ian, whilst the other 4 band members can be found in the corners of the picture frame. Even the back cover is very good on this one.
As an illustrator, I generally (but not always), prefer painted covers instead of photocopied or photography, but I love Gryphon's Midnight Mushrumps image.
Does anyone know what the band was - I think it was a well-known 90s britpop band like Blur, Oasis, Suede, etc. - that featured a mostly red background, with a hot girl on all fours, and you could sort of put two copies down oriented the right way and see the whole girl (she was scantily clad). I just can't seem to find this, and can't remember for sure what the band was.
A few recent ones that I absolutely love:
Music isn't about chops, or even about talent - it's about sound and the way that sound communicates to people. Mike Keneally
I appreciate iconic simplicity.
For fans of Viking Maiden breasts (and who isn't?):
Nemo - Le Ver Dans le Fruit

Hey, that's not a VCO in Emerson's pocket, he's just happy to see you!
To answer the question though, I'd say "In the Court of the Crimson King".
The best Spinal Tap-esque covers that pop into my mind would be "Don't Break the Oath" (Mercyful Fate) and Attila S/T (Billy Joel's first band-he plays like Jon Lord).
There’s a fine line between angry and grumpy. Angry isn’t nice but grumpy is funny.

LOL - I thought of that one when I posted the TYR cover above. Yes, and excellent nipple cover, that one. Actually, the cover isn't so great, but the nipples are...spectacular.
This one always appealed to me somehow:
