And of course it's "Dark Side Of The Moon"! I thought if it was one thing everyone agreed upon (even prog fans) it was that. What a silly discussion.

But eliminating "references" to the WTC from films, TV programs, etc.?  I think that's just a tad overboard, and of a piece with airbrushing out cigarettes.

Peace.

^ I agree...I bought "The Sentinel" on the basis of the Woodroffe album cover alone...and Roger Dean has misled me once or twice as well.

Anyone ever actually SCARED by an album cover? If only while still a child?

Digital technology gives us a wealth of possibilities to clean up history. Imagine how wonderful life will be when reality itself can be edited for content!



I seem to remember that Dream Theater decided to (had to?) change the album cover of - I think - 'Scenes From A Memory Live In New York' as the original featured a scene of the twin towers on fire.

Back on thread though - I'd have to say Dark Side Of The Moon has to be the most recogniseable album cover of all time (not only do non prog fans recognise it, many non prog fans own it); there are others which come close, though: both Abbey Road and Sgt Peppers are up there...

As is 'The Sentinel' by Pallas - recogniseable as a one of the worst prog albums ever released!

LOL!!

The album is so generally recognisable that they had to put a name badge on it,that wasnt on the original!!!!!
