Of PF's album covers, I really liked Animals - the CD size pic doesn't so justice to what it looked like as a 12" cover. Overall though Roger Dean's covers for Yes would be my choice.

I'll take both on Vinyl please - I hate the size of CD covers.

(BTW, I have both on vinyl - one good thing about being old I guess)

While I prefer Yes to Pink Floyd from an aural standpoint I will have to bow to Pink Floyd from a visual point of view.

I think Yes have generally better covers and prettier covers, which go for the more "art" look. But Pink Floyd have covers which are somehow really well thought out (DSOTM for instance)

I chose Yes.

No one beats the Pink Floyd covers; such a misterious work... it is impossible not to spend months thinking about the possible meanings to those weird and cautivating photographs... Yes covers are ok, but somehow, they are far more obviuos and illustrative, nothing left for intuitive people there...

Pink Floyd definitely.....
 
There covers are more simple but have a purpose other then to look cool.
 
Yes covers are just cool drawings.
