Am I missing something?  Where the heck is Close To The Edge?  Dean's made some amazing artwork, but that remains my favorite...
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

My favourite is the front cover for Fragile. Simple and stylish. Some of Roger Dean's paintings are a bit over the top, in my opinion. Especially his later works tend to be too much for my liking.

I like Floating Islands from the list, his terrestrial quasiphysics have always fascinated me.
 
Me favorite of all his work would have to be the cover of The Steve Howe Album:
The color scheme is simultaneously natural and inorganic to add to the terra-mechanical theme. 
 
I am fortunate enough to own a Japanese release of the album that has a body floating in the pool of water.

A nice and very detailed work that was.  Unfortunately, it's not on the list....
 
I can't believe that I'm the only person who voted for Arches (Mist).

More probably due to ignorance that the relationship between visual and musical was part of the definition that the site uses for prog.
 
Which of course does not take away from the fact that the admins are generally well versed in prog.   I consider this an unfortunate lapse only.

I doubt it's due to "ignorance of prog music", our Admins are quite well-versed.. it's probably because the subject is an illustrator's work, not a musician's

I do wish that whoever moved this poll would move it back to prog polls where it belongs.   If that person's ignorance of prog music is such that you are unaware of Roger Dean's  status in prog, here is a quote from this site's on definition of progressive rock:
 
<<
  • An aesthetic linking the music with visual art, a trend started by The Beatles with Sgt. Pepper's and enthusiastically embraced during the prog heyday. Some bands became as well-known for the art direction of their albums as for their sound, with the "look" integrated into the band's overall musical identity. This led to fame for particular artists and design studios, most notably Roger Dean, whose paintings and logo design for Yes are so essential to the band's identity they could be said to serve the same function as corporate branding. Hipgnosis became equally famous for their unusual sleeves for Pink Floyd, often featuring experimental photography quite innovative for the time (two men shaking hands, one of whom is in flames, on the cover of Wish You Were Here). H.R. Giger's painting for Emerson Lake and Palmer's Brain Salad Surgery is one of the most famous album sleeves ever produced. >>

    CTTE inner sleeve is my fav too...
    btw, i never feel this kind of a succesfull connection between the images on the album jackets and some band´s music than in Roger Dean and Yes relation, so Roger Dean is something like a member of Yes to me.Smile
