The Floating Islands referred to is not the Yessongs cover.   I can't remember which album it was the cover to at the moment.  There are a lot of good works by Dean that aren't listed in the poll because I limited myself to album covers that you could view on the Up Close section of Dean's site, giving everybody a chance to see them all before they voted.
 
Dean's covers are like albums that Wakeman has done session work on.   Finding a comprehensive list is pretty darn hard.

Floating Jungle is wonderful, with those shades of blue and green I find so relaxing, as well as aesthetically beautiful. For the same reason I love "Close to the Edge"'s inner sleeve, which is probably my favourite Dean cover.

Relayer is so subtle, yet technically detailed, the coluring especially mesmerizing. But all his stuff is superb.

Relayer. I used it for a backdrop on a 20gallon tank the I kept a tarantula in in the late 70's, very cool.
Vinyl just sounds better!!

hard to choose of course, but out of the ones there, I guess "Floating Jungle" is the most beautiful picture. Lots of subtle naunce.

He is such a wonderful artist. If I had to choose one, it would be Tales.

Ok, here's a chance to vote on the works of iconic progressive rock artist, Roger Dean.
 
If you are not familiar with all of these, or if you don't recognize the titles for some of these covers, you can check them all out at
 
 
before you cast your vote.
 
Arches gets my vote.
