Ioannis for third image, now Ioannis for dangerous age has done some amazing work for fates warning covers. "awaken the gaurdian" and  the newer "fwx" being a couple.  Go to WWW.DANGEROUSAGE.COM  to check out some of his other work.  This guy is really great.

Hugh Syme also did some nice work on Fates Warning's " perfect symmetry",  and "parallels".

I love Roger Dean's work.

I've just borrowed a book from the library called '100 Best Album Covers' by Storm Thorgerson and Aubrey Powell. Not sure if I agree with a lot of them but I like the way it gives written detail about each of the cover designs.

I really like the covers to Foxtrot and Nursery Cryme (especially how Nursery
Cryme is on the front of Foxtrot.) But overall, Roger Dean is my favorite prog
cover artist.
One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity

The   In the Court of the Crimson King   cover was done by Barry Godber who died shortly thereafter. Try as I might I've never been able to find any other artwork by him. Does anyone know if there is any out there?

You should have shown the back of the Finisterra cover, chamberry... the swimming penis is quite amusing!
