Hi,

I like the art, but the subject matter is sad ... why do we have to continue doing this "hero" thing all the time? None of the progressive music was really about the "hero" until one guy in one band who thinks he is the book's thumper! Embarrassed

My thinking behind these was not about a hero. It poses a question... why is a knight visiting a woman in a poor village. What for? There could be many potentials stories to the image.

Yep I find these enjoyable too. They look very real. However damesels in distress and noble knights are more of a vintage pulp fiction genre. The twelve year old me would have been intrigued by such covers, I suppose. Still these are typically the Genesis covers someone who's only heard about what Progressive Rock supposedly means (as in all the misconseptions), but never actually listened to it - would make. Which I guess is exactly why these AI generated covers ended up looking like they do. That said all three covers would have been an improvement of actual covers I've seen by bands such as Fruup, Fates Warning, Fantasy, Magnum mm...

Nice work! I'd buy those three Genesis albums just on the strength of the album covers alone. After all, they're a big improvement over any of the album covers that came after Foxtrot. Thumbs Up
Really? You'd rather have full blown Thomas Kinkade-level kitsch covers art over Trick of the Tail?

So true. Great post! Clap

The pictures look nice, but I don't see the connection with Genesis. Confused

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

I've been having a lot of fun playing around with AI recently and I got to making imaginary album covers for legendary bands, imagining that it was from a certain time and line-up of the band.

I'm using the Microsoft app 'Copilot,' which can use Chatgpt-4. I give pretty elaborate commands to it and it has come up with some amazing results. Especially if the command starts with "a vinyl album cover with a logo saying '______' above a scene with ________."

Starting the command with "a vinyl album cover" gets it to provide results that look genuinely like a vinyl product in the hand.

Some of the results are amazing. But I'd love to see what anyone else can come up with.

I'll start us off. Here are some imaginary lost Genesis album covers with the classic Gabriel line-up, for an album I imagine was the album after Foxtrot. What do you think it would sound like? What topics would be covered in the songs?

Fun!
