Not to put any constraints on anything, but I wouldn't pick on the old, cheaply produced album covers like "Piper." How much money was sunk into that album cover, $50? The big offenders are the ones produced by a top-flight art/ad company that still manages to look like a monkey Photoshopped it with his feet.
Hipgnosis blows, absolutely. I believe one of my personal "favorite" bad covers, Renaissance's "Ashes are Burning," is a Hipgnosis production. Same overly grainy print technique that they used on Black Sabbath's "Paranoid" inside cover.
Cheeeeeep.
