Yes, of course. Like I said, I have yet to see a good AI-made album cover. LOL

I'd be tempted to buy the first album but definitely not the second. Tongue

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?

Those covers have some thing in common: One refers to the most significant song on such an album: Dancing with the Sunlit Knight. But I don't even think that Gabriel-era Genesis was altogether capable of such copycat behaviour.

Those covers are reminiscent of a 21st century Neo or Crossover band rather than a lost Genesis album from early 1973. Nevertheless they look fine.

I don't use AI, but I imagine a somewhat darker cover art for such an album, with a pub and that knight pouring some beer from a mug through the opening of his combat helmet, but I cannot tell why...

Ok, give me some ideas for it and I'll give it a try.

Remember, it doesn't have to resemble any of their past covers. Some people here have been like "well that doesn't look like it's an album from _____" and I'm thinking why does it have to be a copy of a past album? My Greenslade ones are different, because their covers had a theme of the multi armed green dude.

I actually already did an ELP one, here below.

The AI is not good enough to reproduce so much text, which is why I'm not adding album titles. It's better to have a short word as a logo, and even then it gets it wrong. Sometimes it produces an amazing picture but the logo is all wonky.



Again, I'm not trying to make it look like past albums, so don't tell me it doesn't look like an ELP album. Just try to play along and imagine what it might possibly sound like!

I type in something along the lines of the following when trying to generate an album cover:

a vinyl album cover with a logo saying '_____' above a scene with __________ in _________ , in a 70s art style/60s art style/Roger Dean art style (etc.)

Thanks Adam. I have no expectations or criticisms. Was just curious how much the 'directorial' text would influence the image. I do see a strong similarity in style to all the covers it generates.
Thank you for supporting independently produced music

That's probably down to me and my tastes. I'm sure you could generate all manor of styles. I'll show some Yes ones later that are totally different from these and from any actual Yes albums.

Here are a few random individual ones I did.

The Love album cover is quite possibly the most beautiful I've generated. It doesn't fit with any of their previous album covers but I just think it's sublime.





I imagine this Rush album came out in the 90s where Rush decided to totally go back to their prog roots.

I gave it a try

I imagine this album being called "Dropping By for Lunch." It screwed up the text, though Cry

I like your AI generated covers espcially the Greenslade series.
Any ideas for King Crimson covers....?

Playing with the madman theme of their first.

I did some ABWH covers and decided to keep a Roger Dean style but go for something completely unique.

The first one here is the best one, imo. Sadly, AI screwed up the logo, but the image is top knotch.

A couple of ASIA albums (even though I don't think they were that good, but they had great covers... I own a mint Japanese first pressing of ASTRA purely for the cover)
