How can you compare the two? One draws scenes for hippie potsmokers
that are full of life and imagination while the other one draws figures
that are akin to the grim reaper. It also depends when you're talking
about. For instance, the cover for Uriah Heep's Demons and Wizards is,
in my opinion, pretty shotty, whereas the cover for Yes' Relayer is
amazing. And aside from BBS, what other prog covers did Giger draw for? ------------- I bleed coffee. When I don't drink coffee, my veins run dry, and I shrivel up and die. "Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso? Is that like the bank of Italian soccer death or something?" -my girlfriend |

They are both completly differnt artists, but as far as cover designers/
illustrators, Dean is better. Giger is not really a cover/album designer. He more well know for his conceptual work. As an artist myself, I love both styles and am highly influenced by both. btw...I voted for Dean...  ------------- http://www.flywithjet.com">

Ummm...you also left out Paul Whitehead. Not only did he design the Mad Hatter logo for the Charisma label (on which so much amazing early prog was released), but he also did the covers of Trespass, Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot, H to He, and Pawn Hearts, among others. Peace. |

Giger rules!! Just look at the difference between a Roger Dean piece and a Giger piece. 9 out of 10 times, Dean's piece will look like a Dungeons and Dragons playing eighth grader drew it when compared to Giger's work.

I like Giger, but everything is soooooo dark. When it comes to art, I prefer to be uplifted, not depressed. Dean.

I'm a rush fan, but pssh... I mean, give me a break. He came up with the concepts but didn't do much illustration... except on 2112, right? ------------- I bleed coffee.

I think they're uncomparable... But I voted for Roger Dean because I'm a Yes fan. ------------- it doesn't matter in which stripe you shot a zebra, it will die anyway |
