What are your favourite monsters in prog? How about the thing on the cover of tarkus? Or the squonk, the crying rat from a trick of the tail. or the giant dragon thing on Rush - Rock in Rio? Any other famous prog monsters? ------------- The Worthless Recluse

How about ELP as an entity? The Beatles were a four-headed monster sure... Failing that, the Roger Dean Octopus! Those fishy beings on the cover for Caravan & The New Symphonia are rather daunting, wouldn't you agree? ------------- http://www.myspace.com/chrisblackwell" rel="nofollow - http://www.myspace.com/chrisblackwell |

Whatever plagues Peter Hammill in "A Louse is not a Home". Is it himself?  Or something more sinister?

That was Roger Dean too, doing the Osibisa covers, right? That's certainly a good reason to call them prog |

By the way, Tarkus and Manticore are my favorite monsters. They didn't like each other, though |

How about that creature on the cover of the self-titled "Uriah Heep" album (1970). I'd hate to run into that thing anywhere. -------------  Raymon
