Hypgnosis kicks Dean's colorful boring landscapes all over the place..... I think Dean's covers are incredible overrated..

Roger Dean. of course!!!
He made some of the best cover artworks in the whole progressive world: "Fragile", "Relayer", "Tales...", "One Live Badger" (BADGER), "Greenslade" and "Bedside Manners Are Extra" (GREENSLADE), etc...

Roger Deans artwork is first class. Beautiful and hypnotic.
As far as albums are concerned, I think Hypgnosis had more range. Different subject matter and themes. My vote goes to Hypgnosis.
Sorry Rog.

Anyone who knows anything about prog rock, and dares to vote anyway other than Roger Dean is a bounder, a fool and a charlatan!
I do like Storm's work with Floyd, though...

Why Gatefold? Are we only discussing this type of cover here? If so Dean, no contesrt.
