Close to the Edge could have been more creative, considering the imagination and creativity of the music, Roger Dean seemed preety uninspired.

Juicy Lucy's cover with Zelda Plum on it... ewww.
Not prog I know, but worthy of a mention nevertheless!
I'm trying to think of a bad prog cover... can't think of any.
I guess Aerosol Grey Machine maybe considered a bit uninspired, but the album was put out quickly, so it's understandable.

To Me The WORST cover is this one
I can-t understand why these boys decided for such a terrible cover.

Trick of the Tail has a great cover too... trespass is cool, as for wind and wuthering... Im not sure... the bird/leaves tree thing is kinda... neat.. probably the weakest of the lot, but still nowhere near 'bad'

Its one of the best album covers ever made, in my opinion.

I think they wanted something very simple, like the cover for The White Album.

You'll be hard-pressed to find a bigger fan than myself but I agree when it comes to Nursery Cryme and Foxtrot. Back in the day when an album cover was sometimes a huge factor in the decison of whether or not to give and unfamiliar band a try, these two covers appeared to be drawn and colored by a 12 year-old and may have deterred a lot of record buyers from discovering the incredible music inside. Even the ghastly "Yes Album" looked more inviting to me IMHO.
