I'm with the majority, an attractive cover is good but only superficial and easily ignored but a bad/ugly cover will make me dismiss the book.

An interesting thing is the electronic versions. I've read a ton of the Baen catalogue and couldn't remember a cover for the life of me but seeing them in RL on the shelf I was taken aback on how bad some of them were. Particularly the Webers. Artist's renditions of either Honor or a treecat was soooo different than I imagined that it was offputting.
