RTF. Hawkwind would be my second choice.

Tough choice between Wishbone Ash, Hawkwind and Roxy Music. I be back.

Return to Forever, just ahead of Wishbone Ash

Then Hawkwind, and trailing behind, Roxy Music.
I use they/them pronouns (feel free to ask me about this!)

Check out my music on my bandcamp!

Great cover, but looks more like a king to me.

I voted for RTF.

Also, Sir John a Lot of....by John Renbourne and Crest of a Knave by Tull, if those count.

Close enough, if its not.

That would be a greek soldier, I guess (or maybe I've seen too many epic movies).
My vote for Avalon.

God no. It's the King of Spades. There's a big difference between a King and a knight. Just ask any Englishman or read any King Arthur story.

What is with the Greek soldier? It's been mentioned before. Martin Turner of Wishbone Ash is the bloke under the helmet. He stated that the figure is a "medieval warrior" and the helmet, cloak and spear were borrowed from a movie set. And that he was naked under the cloak! No, the red cloak has nothing to do with the Spartans.

OK, but, did we really need to know that he was naked?

I assume that Martin wanted you to know as he keeps mentioning it in interviews. Now you know. Job done. Martin would be pleased, I'm sure.

I chose Return to Forever.
Here's another cover with a knight on it

This is one of my favorite albums of all time. The guys hanging on the wall are clearly some kind of knights:

No, those blokes are wearing ancient Greek styled "Corinthian" helmets worn by hoplites. At least it will make Heart of The Matter happy.

If that cover of Hawkwind counts as having a knight, then I guess Relayer should count too.

If Gladys Knight counts then chess knights count too. However, OP doesn't have an "other" option, so pick from what you're given you HEATHENS. Said with love.

I've got more bad news Paul - Argos stopped producing their catalogue a couple of years ago. LOL
I didn't know that, but what I do know is that Argos was founded by the same man who brought us Green Shield Stamps. I only discovered today that Argos was bought out by Sainsburys in 2016, which wasn't a good move as most Argos stores are due to close by 2024. Confused
Going a bit off-topic but our local Argos has shut down but our local Sainsburys is about to open a (very small) in-store Argos.
btw Paul - Prince Philip has died.

But a King could theoretically be a knight as well?
