 Topic: Best Yes album cover
Posted: July 17 2010 at 01:44 |
|
Okay, I know Yesterdays and Keystudio and a couple others are missing, but *phew* what a lengthy list.
This one might be harder to decide than the Floyd covers!
My top faves are...
Relayer, Tormato, Tales from Topographic Oceans, and Fragile

All of their 70's are perfect; gotta go with Relayer. Fragile in a close second.

Went with Tormato because I know the Roger Dean stuff will get high marks (as they should) and because it is my favorite non-Dean cover

Although I dislike TFTO, it's got the best artwork, but followed closely by GFTO's triple gatefold and Yessongs' multiple fold artwork.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

If we're talking about the whole package it would have to be Yessongs. If it's outside cover only then it's Relayer.
GFTO is great for the whole package, but not for the front with some guy's butt on it.

Fragile. It has that design, and that color, that just make me want to own it on vinyl so bad!

Topographic Oceans, closely followed by Relayer.

No votes for close to the edge?  That cover is amazing and by far my favorite Yes album cover.

At least it's not as twee as the Hemispheres cover . . . I vote for an omitted album--Classic Yes

I gotta go with Union. Not such a good album, but what a cover.
Edit: Am I the only one who thinks Fragile's cover is ugly as hell?

My guess is because it got moved to Prog Bands, Artists and Genres Appreciation instead of saying in Prog Polls. There's no option to make a poll in the Appreciation section of the forum.
