Nice Av, Cinema, it always makes me hungry! Smile

Thanks, it does the same for me. Big smile

Also, as long as I'm still here I might as well be gracious enough to post some Roger Dean work for those unfamiliar:

BTW, you did realize that the cover of King Crimson's Islands shown above is not the original version; it's

If the cover hadn't changed, I doubt it would contend for top honors.

Actually I think most King Crimson albums deserve a mention of sorts. Especially this one

and

Vroooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom!

They have to be awarded worst album cover too unfortunately with

THRAK!

I mean what the heck is that????????????

Animals and Fragile are just beautiful album covers. Atom Heart Mother is not beautiful by any means but it is just a classic album cover for me. The other two I love simply because of the mood they put out.

Quick question, is Meddle a picture of a giant underwater nose?

I always thought it was a profile shot of a Camel

Yeah me too. But it really is some kind of photography from an ear(or was it a nose?)

A nose

Did the Block was joking when he asked what was the cover from the album Meddle?

Wrong: "an ear underwater".^[25] Wink

I had a bit of a battle a while ago with my girlfriend about this cover, I think there's another layer there containing portions of a mouth and a nose under that ear, and she didn't believe me Tongue

It's on PA!

Excellent work SaltyJon (great eye and excellent knowledge of music if I may say so).

Thanks, though I must say I haven't heard the BS, Moody Blues, that Mars Volta, or the Led Zeppelin. Embarrassed

I just recognize the covers.
