Do you know Syme did the cover of Megadeth's Youthanasia album?
 
And I love his work but the Moving Pictures cover is awesome.

Since Moving Pictures leads this poll, my vote goes to Fates Warning's Perfect Symmetry: Awesome cover-art.
 
Other great ones not on this list:
Sanctuary - Into The Mirror Black; Fates Warning - Parallels; Rush - Hemispheres

The one with the babys right? Yup, that one is both funny and stunning!

Yes...the one with babies being hung on clothesline.
 
And I agree...it was funny but also shocking at the same time.

Grace Under Pressure is actually my favourite, but from the list I'd go for 'A Farewell to Kings'
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

I believe Syme has done every Rush cover since Caress Of Steel and/or 2112.

I toyed with putting P/G on there and probably should have. I couldn't include them all, which is why I added the Others category.

spinning: "Big Money" from Retrospective II
I believe Fly By Night was Syme's first Rush cover.

Since I cannot vote I must post.... Grace Under Pressure purely for the use of color and sparse focal point(s) That art is the coolest thing I have ever seen. Not cool as in 'Hey man that's cool' but cool as in temperture. It is peacefull soothing and refreshing like stepping from a rocky desert to a high elevation mountain stream.

<<Voted for MP, but where's Signals?>>

You could have simply clicked 'other' and told us. Very simple. I just didn't want to list all of the Rush. I trust you guys to tell us what you really like.

You are absolutely correct. (I didn't notice the "other" button at first)
