Have you ever noticed the three blobs on the right-hand side horizon of the WindozeXP default wallpaper (highlighted here in Red):
These have intrigued me for sometime now, so using the same image enhancing techniques as used by NASA to fake enhance photo's from the Mars lander, I have discovered this...

Don't like Roger Dean? Just listen to Eloy Colours while looking at Roger Dean artwork and it transports you to another world. Don't like Roger Dean, good heavens, what will you guys come up with next.  Prog and Roger Dean go hand in hand. |
That's kind of how I feel about Paul Whitehead. But some people here don't seem to care much for him.

I know.... it's a great cover... ELP haters just can't stop with
music.. or the personalities... but they even have to stoop to the
level of f**king with the Armadillo "Tarkus'... some people are
never satisfied and have to go after our sacred cows of prog.

Hey,I love ELP.Just because I don't like cover doesn't mean that I don't like music. Sorry if I offended someone.

The early 80s reissue of Crucis' debut is ever so lame:  Lame! Compare it to the original 76 release's cover:

Guru Guru - Hinten
Wish I could post a picture. A picture of a man's behind and some zooming effects.
Haven't heard the album., but I quite like the 2 other Guru Guru albums I have.

Well, if you open up the album cover....  It was probably meant to be ambiguous, though.

Hmmm...I'm not sure what album cover you guys have for Acquiring the Taste, but it sure looks like an apple to me.
Grow up and get your minds out of the gutter. 
It is an open mouth, tongue hanging out and drool coming down over an apple. |
I'm far too old to grow up i'm afraid. 
The cover has looked that way to me for 35 years and looking at it again now it still looks like that.

What exactly is on the cover of Acquiring the Taste? The only thing I can think of is a tongue licking someone's bottom, but that seems too gross to be possible! (for an album cover) |
Nonetheless that's what i've always assumed it to be.
The Beatles Yesterday and Today "Butcher Album" cover in the US would take some beating for grossness. Mind you there have been a few pretty gross covers over tghe years.

Somewhat agree with this...I do think the artwork was pretty "amateurish"...I tend to love the album cover if the album is great, anyway.
This topic is tough for me, because of that reason. A few people said "Aquiring the Taste" is a gross cover, but the music is so brilliant I just can't help but find the cover brilliant as well. Bias becomes me when I hear the music...I love every album cover for every great album.
A bad album on the other hand...well, ofcourse thats not 90124 by YES I would be referring, that album has a brilliant cover and amazing musicianship.

Wow, Living Colour. Vivid is very good. I kind of like the artwork. It's a punk, graffiti New York styled cover, if that's a term. Cult of Personality is great.
And for my album, I'll go with The Enid's In The Region of the Summer Stars. I don't know, I just don't like that cover. Great album though.

I almost had a seizure after viewing that. 
What happened? Did a can of paint explode on the album cover?
