Other than Ten and Backspacer, they are all really good.

I LOVE the angry disconsulate greyish look of the Versus cover. It basically is a precursor to what's the album gonna sound like. Nothing friendly!

I feel like both "Vitalogy" and "No Code" are both more about the overall package design, the conceptual vision of the "project," than about the actual album cover--they become infinitely cooler when you open up the gatefolds and see the meticulous attention to detail that went into them. Strictly based on the cover images alone, I vote "Yield" with "Binaural" a close second--simple, evocative images that strike the eye and reflect the music contained therein.

I keep going back and forth between Yield and No Code, trying to only account for the cover.

"Riot Act" is a weird one for me. I like the concept but I can never get past how much it feels like a kid posing his action figures on top of a bunch of rocks and taking a picture of it.

If anything that should enhance the cover!

Absolutely. And I'll take that over a Nasa image plucked from Google Images and/or a photoshopped Avocado anyday.
