Assuming we're not sticking to just one, THIS has been copied a lot:

Abbey Road has certainly been duped a number of times, but Sgt. Pepper might be the cake-taker.

I wonder which album has been copied the most without the idea of a homage in mind. I mean, all of those Abbey Road and Sgt. Pepper's covers surely were done with the original in mind. Which album design has been used more often without any obvious singular influence?

Maybe something like this?

Pretty boring, but you get the drift.
