Washing Machine is pretty funky. Watch that puppy do hoolahoops in your cd player while the disk is spinning. That alone makes it cooler than almost any other cd design ever created.

In terms of cover, my vote would go to Goo, perhaps the greatest COVER design ever created. Not only does it comment so neatly on the darkness and violence behind america's hip, poppy iconic images and the society that has manufactured and reproduced them, but its stylistic design appeals to this very culture, begging to be consumed, assimulated and (most importantly) reproduced. Hence one of the reasons it makes such a popular t-shirt design, especially amongst people who have never even heard Sonic Youth's music. A sort of cultural sabotage from within. Very nice.
