I'm too young to have been around when they were still actually releasing vinyl, but luckily my parents have a huge collection. I've listened to my dad rant many, many times about the superior quality of vinyl versus CD. And now after years of comparing, I definitely have to agree. The depth in sound on vinyl is just gorgeous... you can't seem to get the same kind of power from a CD.
As for the album art... I wouldn't say it's necessarily worse on CDs, it's just less versatile. Has anyone mentioned Led Zeppelin III? With the spinning layer? I just love that. They couldn't reproduce that on the CD.
