What to you are the coolest basic lands you know?
Mine would be an Island: Odyssey 338/350
Just doing one to start, but feel free to post any.
I love the design of all the RTR lands. In fact, I make it a point now to have only Ravnica lands in my decks. :3 I also like a lot of the art for Zendikar and Mirrodin Besieged.

I'm a fan of the unhinged and zendikar lands; however, I do have a soft spot for the Revised lands. I just really like the tilted T as the tap symbol.

Zendikar lands are awesome! Who doesn't love a full art land?

Yea I have a few timesprial as well and I enjoy them, sadly I don't have any of the full art zen or unhinged, I also like the shadomoor lands.

I have a signed hand drawn picture of Adarkar Wastes by John Avon. It's the pride of my magic collection.

Ice age - Island. They had two that I liked :) one was a snowy island that looked like there were statues of faces on it. :o ?!? The other, had a rock formation in the shape of a giant owl :) idk how to link specific sets to cards, but its worth seeing- cus it's something you don't notice right away, unless you really take a sec to appreciate the art. :)

The old-school Islands have a lot of sentimental value for me, and I LOVE the Zendikar lands, but my favorite basic land is this one, from Shards of Alara.

Thing looks like a photograph. You have to look really closely to see that it is indeed drawn.

The Esper-themed Swamp from Shards of Alara is my favorite today:

I like to tailor my use of basic lands to the theme of each deck I make. Like for my latest Merfolk deck, Merfolk's Garden , I used a mix of lands from Lorwyn. Or for my Mono-Black kill deck I used one specific swamp from Time Spiral that had a great dark feel to it.
In general I would say that I love the following sets for the majority of basics: Ravnica (old and new), Zendikar, anything by John Avon, a random collection of lands that keep getting reprinted in the core sets, Lorwyn, and lastly Innistrad and Avacyn Restored.
