 Yes, Paco. I especially like Cross' artwork on Phillips' THE GEESE AND THE GHOST and WISE AFTER THE EVENT. Beautifully detailed!

Some of you may not consider this Prog but check out this racy cover!

Froms LPs i like the newspaper edition of Thick As A Brick

The covers of cds are very carefully designed but i like the cover of Dt's Live at Marquee that blazing, iron-crowned heart.... Sometimes i wonder if its mine...

Klaatu's "Hope."  In addition to the great painting, the LP cover was "textured" in a particularly unique way, making it look like an "old master" with cracked paint.  Amazing.

I love the lightbulb Sun cover by Porcupine Tree...
 
But other favorites are:
- In a glass House by Gentle Giant
- Foxtrot by Genesis (it's very funny to see the hunter cry on the shore because the very sick(with his red dress) fox is unreachable)
- Tarkus by ELP (I made some own Tarkus with Photoshop) and of course Brain Salad Surgery

I love the Songs from the wood-cover by JT. Simple, maybe not very
progged and-or spaced, but elegant, simple and very lonely in its
peculiar in its Tull-way, just like Aqualung, - both of them classics,
both music and covers in my opinion
Strange avenues where you lose all sense of direction -And everywhere is Main Street in the winter sun.

There are so many great Prog covers, it overloads the mind.  This one of the reasons why I buy old Prog on vinyl when I can.  But if I had to choose one, and it indeed changed my life:

TALES FROM TOPOGRAPHIC OCEANS!

Peace,

Ulf

I think Paco's suggestion is the best. Anthony Phillips' music and his covers are like "hand in a glove". Using the same argument I think Peter Gabriel 1, 2 and 3 are good alternatives. There is something dark, silent, cold and brutal in both the covers and the music.

My favourite cover arts are Still Life (VDGG) - beatiful colours, Hot Rats (Frank Zappa) - HAHAHA and In the Land of Grey and Pink (Caravan) - Lovely landscape, as the music.
