Vote only on the album covers, not the music.

1. Asia - Asia



2. Osibisa - Woyaya



3. Gentle Giant - Octopus



4. Greenslade - S/T



5. Paladin - Charge!

Paladin's cover reminds me of the sleeve art for a good sci-fi novel. The easiest for me to access conceptually among the lot. Never heard the album though. Any good?

If it was the US version of octopus I would vote for it.

But as it is...Asia.

Pretty close. I give the edge to Greenslade.

Not hard to understand. That Munch-inspired cover does not fit in this series. I wuold rather think of Grobschnitt's Rockpommel's Land instead:
 
Rockpommels Land - Grobschnitt

Yep - GREENSLADE.
I used to have the Paladin LP (on the 'Bronze' imprint) - had too few moments I liked so I ditched it. I think Pete Solley was the keyboardist.

Just be patient! There are still plenty of polls in the weeks to come, so stay tuned. And like someone_else said, that cover doesn't fit in any of the themes I've posted so far.

I'll give my vote to Octopus. I always felt it was the perfect cover because of the octopus' smug and elitist expression; it's probably how most non-prog fans see Gentle Giant fans. Tongue
