Who is the best album artist?

I can only think of two right now, Roger Dean and Hipgnosis.  Which one (or other artist) is better?

Storm Thurguson, (however you spell his last name), he did some preety imaginative stuff.

Roger Dean as you mentioned is great too.

Thurguson still does stuff, I think.  Didn't he do the cover to Frances the Mute?

Whose that guy who did the cover for Lateralus, he has some cool stuff.  All his artworks makes like a story when you look at it all together.  Cool.  All the people are like weird skeleton people too.

Tom Thial who did the cover art for Symphony X's The Odyssey is damn impressive, who did the cover for Sym X's V though?

Giger was pretty impressive with his artwork on Brain Salad Surgery, even if someone else had to airbrush the offending willy near his wife's mouth, into a shaft of light.

I thought he died, a few months ago. If he did do that cover, it had to be his last.
