Who is the best album artist?

I can only think of two right now, Roger Dean and Hipgnosis.  Which one (or other artist) is better?

Storm Thurguson, (however you spell his last name), he did some preety imaginative stuff.

Roger Dean as you mentioned is great too.

Thurguson still does stuff, I think.  Didn't he do the cover to Frances the Mute?

I really like Hugh Syme.

He did a lot of Rush's covers.

Whose that guy who did the cover for Lateralus, he has some cool stuff.  All his artworks makes like a story when you look at it all together.  Cool.  All the people are like weird skeleton people too.

Tom Thial who did the cover art for Symphony X's The Odyssey is damn impressive, who did the cover for Sym X's V though?

Giger was pretty impressive with his artwork on Brain Salad Surgery, even if someone else had to airbrush the offending willy near his wife's mouth, into a shaft of light.
..and i knew that she seen me, because she dropped her bikini, the one that i got her, in Rome.

Does anyone have a link to the original painting?
