Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

H To He Who Am The Only One... Van Der Graff Generator.
A great album... never particularly cared for the art on the cover, for a while I couldn't even figure out what it was. On the topic of just bad artwork, Tool's Opiate always hurts my eyes, but I'm not too fond of that Ep anyways.

 just one example of cheesy power metal covers, complete with dragons, fairies, magical wizards, epic battles/swords and/or vikings. this one just scares me.

My first thought was ELP's "Love Beach".
Then there's Supertramp's "Indelibly Stamped". Probably the world's ugliest boobs. Plus, try to explain to your girlfriend that you like the album but hate the cover.
Pink Floyd's "The Final Cut" was dull but not exactly bad.
Back when I lived at home, my sister insisted that I keep "In The Court Of The Crimson King" out of sight. It creeped her out. I once was woken up by her scream. She got up in the night to go to the toilet. The album was in my room but my door was open.

It's kind of interesting hearing people's opinions on the cover to Tarkus--it's either of love it or hate it type of situation it seems. Personally, with that armadillo-tank, it actually ranks as my favorite cover of all time. There's a certain odd humor behind it that I rather like. Apparently, the armadillo tank was just from some doodlings William Neal had done, which Keith Emerson happened to like.

Oh, I dunno, I like it as a back cover. It's great too; you can even see Cecil the Sealion!
As for the front...meh. I agree. It works better in the "inverted" form, which is showcased on the Tuller website (somewhere).

Almost makes me wish I hadn't sworn off emotionites...
As for myself, I dunno. The Yes Album I suppose. What a nice album. What an ugly cover.
Also, just about any Doors cover. They're all fairly rudimentary (except for Strange Days, which is strangely AWESOME).
Oh, and, a little album, don't know if you've heard of it before...Thick as a Brick. The cover works as a joke, of course, but not really as a cover. It's not like I hate it or anything, but after Aqualung, you could really only go down...

What I like about that cover is that it pushes the envelope...right over everyone's head, and it says something about the music industry as well... clever 70s British humor.

Probably?!!!!
My mind was indeed well and truly in the gutter when i was 16 years old (in 1972) but i'd seen enough of Oz magazine to know when someone was having a dig at the censor.
