think Hamburger Concerto is genius---sort of says it all.
CTTE is great because its so simple---Didnt like Hand cannot erase album cover--- But was never crazy about Trespass Nursery Crime or Foxtrot not great art---from my Fav band.

Agreed. I actually like the cover of Abacab, though, so.... |

Guru Guru - Hinten. A naked hairy man's butt is just not a great sight. Yes, it is meant humorously, but still - no thanks.

How dare you? Male naked butts are a staple of progressive rock covers!

The Tarkus artwork always looked a bit naff to me (ditto VDGG's H to He Who Am the Only One)

I'm going slightly non-prog to nominate the debut Montrose album, although at least there are no butts involved.

I'm going to expand the tendency of the latest posts to the outer circle of the realm of PA:  Not a great album, only the closing track is excellent; the rest is decent. Edited by someone_else - July 11 2019 at 06:11 |

Surprised no one said Tarkus, although that's one that might be so bad , it's good.

That cover's fine. One can do much, much worse when it comes to "shirtless band pix." Like that Orleans album (not gonna post it!). RIP Ronnie Montrose. That first record is outstanding, and Paper Money is a worthy follow-up. No sophomore jinx with those guys.
