It's funny, I never really liked the cover of the Live album. I thought it was a bit arty and an opportunity missed to show the band in full flight. In fact, I can say with hand on heart that I was very disappointed with it in 1977. It's why I bought very little merch at the reunion gigs. The content made up for it though

It's either Piledriver, Dog or Quo. I think I'll plump for Piledriver. It's truly iconic (as are Quo and Hello! admittedly) but this was the image that set me - and the band - on their way. I think it's actually my favourite album cover of any artist. It captures a moment in time like no other. Agreed, the whole thing is wonderful, you know they're not playing a ballad. And yet, on the actual album, along with everything else, there are two stonking ballads! The genius of Quo.

Respectfully, I disagree. I have a horse picture drawn by my younger sister when she was three, and it as least has the quality of weirdness.
QPQ cover looked like it was drawn by a design graduate trying to be both arty and cheap.
I hated it so much that I made my own cover for it and stuck it over the top. I've never done that before in more than 60 years of album buying!

If we are talking about the entire cover, front, backside and gatefold, I would go for OTL, Live and Piledriver (those three are the ones I’ve been looking at most times, especially all the photos in OTL). Quo and Hello are also brilliant, but they could have been even better with a gatefold and with more stuff on the backside

I think the band were trying different things to appear fresh. That said In the army now cover was far better, so too infact was the Perfect Remedy cover, ironically one of the best I would say.

The Rock til you drop cover was misleading I felt as it makes it look more like a cover for a live album with a shot of Rick and Francis during a concert, which I believe was a pic taken at the Minehead gig from 1990 when Anniversary Waltz seemed destined to be number 1. images.app.goo.gl/Je9W1Mz1aAAMSJDY6
