Close call between Unknown Pleasures which is stunning in it's simplicity, and PC&L where Saville came up with an inspired blend of the traditional/classic with the modern/computer age. I'll go for PC&L.

I reckon the simplicity and class in the (best of) and (rest of) albums was stunning: the perfect textures of a removed, dance/pop band. I went for the (rest of) 'cause I like red more than blue.
The “Unknown Pleasures” sleeve's texture is so unique ! This is my favourite. But I don’t remember what the white lines stand for. Could anyone refresh my memory ?
It´s a graph of the radio waves emanating from a imploding star,which barney discovered in a science book.
Technique gets my vote; it's so colourful and mad-looking. It's the kind of sleeve that makes you stop and think "What's this?" I bet loads of NO fans were created that way; they bought the album because the sleeve looked interesting and it all developed from there.
