The white album (beatles) had no album art and yet its music was great.

Yep. In the Court of the Crimson King is a great example.
In the days of vinyl, rolling spliffs on an album cover while listening to the music could often make the artwork seem special, just as the spliff could make the music seem special.

Indeed. Then came CDs, which just wasn't the same.
And I have yet to successfully roll a spliff on an MP3...

Can it get better than rolling one on the inside jacket to 'Eat a Peach'?

Smoke pipes, then. Better for you. And even better for the music.
CDs offer their own pleasures. The weight, the size, the booklet, the shiny disc, the digital contents. Different from 12" cardboard album covers. But a fondleable artefact that one can peer at while listening to music all the same, with a charm of their own.
