I didn't think Olias was completely Roger Dean - the album says illustrated and design by Dave Roe. 
Anyway, 'Morning Dragon' graces the cover of an (unofficial) live Yes album I have. 
I recall getting a 'Paladin' album with some cool horse mounted with a knight (?) with a lance in his hand.  The music was not exciting at all, I got rid of it.  It was called 'Charge'.

I've always liked this guy although I can't think of any  prog cover by him.

Yes yes yes, I'd completely forgotten about that one!

Beautiful art work:

That's the one !!  I was sort of right......the music didn't grab me at all - even with Pete Solley playing the keyboards.  Gosh, this would've been around the mid-90's, I kept it for a week or two, then ditched it.

^I don't think I've ever heard it actually, but I remember a friend of mine at one point claiming it one of the best prog albums he had heard. I think he'd heard one previous to it though, IQs DarkmatterLOL

I also dig Osibisa's debut, but 'Woyaya' cheezed me off so I ditched that one as well, despite the beautiful artwork.  Same goes for those RD Uriah Heep albums - nice covers, not really exciting music (for me, anyway...).

I feel you on Uriah Heep. Used to be massively into them - heck they were my first ever "prog" concert back in 1996 - had a left over telephone signal in my head for about 10 days after tooLOL But as my tastes have evolved, a lot of those dime a dozen hard rock acts from the 70s have lost their initial appeal to me. Heep, Purple, Atomic Rooster and the likes almost never get playing time anymore. I haven't parted with any albums yet though....

I had up to, at least 10 Heep albums, and all the good stuff could've fit onto a 90 minute cassette.  I haven't bothered with them for years.
Rooster on the other hand, I never get bored with them. Incidentally, RD did the cover for 'In Hearing Of...' !!  Also the artwork of the Ramases album 'Space Hymns'.
Purple, yeah, I have a heap on tape, but I only kept LP's of the first 3 and Made In Japan.
Anyway, I love that 'Lighthouse' cover - I'd like to track an LP of that some day...........

^^^In case you're looking for that Lighthouse album, then just remember that the art work that features on most, is this one:

Not sure if Olias is actually Dean's, sorry for the mistake if it isn't.
The pic of Paladin's Charge is coming soon in my next deliveries Tongue

Re : Olias - Jon does thank Roger Dean for 'Planting The Seed'.  The 'Moorglade Mover' is definately a variation on Dean's fish designs.  It wouldn't have come into being without Dean's inspiration. So, credit where credit's due, I guess.
