Yes - Relayer   (one of the most beautiful cover I've ever seen!)      

Genesis - Wind And Wuthering (wow what a cover and what a disc!)

I got into prog music when I bought "Yesterdays" of YES, as it had so nice covers!  Lucky bet.

Saga -  Images At Twilight.....probably still the most bizarre cover I've ever seen.

A close second would be Lark's Tongues....just mesmerized the first time I saw it.  For some reason, the cover always seemed to match well with the music within.  A very nice total package.

Dredg (cant remember the name of the album, it was green and had a cool symbol) didnt really like it.

Ozric Tentacles - Strangitude. Great album

Probably Relayer, but it was also the fact that it only had three tracks!

I bought Scenes From A Memory when I was much younger because I liked the artwork Hahaha, and proved to be a great investment

Here's a thread I haven't seen yet, (I'm sure I'll be told otherwise). What album/albums did you buy just because of the cover art, not knowing how the band sounded or sounds like? Mine was Hawkwind's "Space Ritual". I was blown away by the cover that opened up to practically poster-size and the music. Unfortunately, I sold all my vinyl years back....SOB SOB!!!!
