Transend...there is no way that 2112 is a bad cover. Surely your joking?

I agree with Tuxon in that Pendragon has had some amazing covers. I especially like the Masquerade Overture cover.

My favourite cover ever are:
- ELP's Brain Salad Surgery;
- KC - In the court of the CK;
- Yes - Relayer.
Besides, I agree with Tuxon and Cygnus: Pendragon's covers are great.

I always love the Musea Record labels always found them fantastic to look at. How do you all get those wonderful pictures? I don't have my own website you know.

I like the covers that had a bit of a gimmick. Anyone remember The Faces 'Ooh La La' with the sliding mouth or Alice Cooper's 'Killer' with calender & 'School's Out' that folded out into a desk. As for best cover's as a whole it is YES because of Roger Dean!

My favorite covers used to be by Genesis, but looking at the Rush covers, I must say I'm not so sure anymore...
I liked Roger Dean's early covers for Yes, but I think they should have stopped using his covers (they did for a short time, but not for good...)

Thanks for "Nantucket Sleighride"!
There's a wonderful album cover I remember but have forgotten the name of the band or lp.
It shows a rice peasant plowing a field with a water buffalo. But if you look a second time you realize that the rice field is a vinyl record and the plow is the needle of a record player.

That would be the 1974 s/t album from the band SNAFU. It was an oil painting by Roger Dean. Oil was not Dean' usual medium, by the way.

Thanks, great!
Dean is no doubt one of the top cover artists.
