Nice to see The Supreme Psychedelic Underground album. I was convinced that it was the legendary "nom-de-plume" album by Deep Purple when I first found it in an Oxfam shop in the early '80's - sadly it isn't. Still a damn good album though

Peter Lloyd's "Song for America" for Kansas has always been a favorite of mine.

Of course, there are a good number of Roger Dean covers that were pretty striking, too, for Yes & Uriah Heep.

Many great covers, but this very psychedelic cover remains one of my favourites:
 
In a more traditional prog vein, I'd nominate:
 
 
A more minimalistic approach:
  
 
 
But really, this must be the greatest
 
Very symbolic!

I actually bought the album cause of the cover! I knew the music was symphonic and all...but thats the real deal with this album. Excellent work! And Tillison is a great composer!
