| I think it speaks for itself. Plus, I don't like the others very much except for Foxtrot. |

| I love Roger Dean's cover art, and I find "Relayer" very beautiful. However, my personal favourite is the inner cover of CTTE - with all those gorgeous, soothing shades of green, you can almost feel the water! Utter genius. |

Humor: Kansas-Two For The Show (nice play of words and funny to watch the two
old cleaning ladies)
 Beautiful art: Pallas-The Sentinel (I love the blend of fantasy and colours)
 Picture matches with lyrics/concept: Pink Floyd-Animals (dark and ominous)
 Personal favorite: Marillion-A Script For A Jester's Tear (typcial Fish his world of fantasy
and emotion)

Good list. Voted for Relayer (my second favorite). My favorite cover is:  Its a surreal mystery, and goes very well with the song The Musical Box as well as the whole album. The naive style of the drawing/painting makes it even more disturbing. Not a real explanation, but its an image thats been haunting me, and inspired me since my late teens. Foxtrot is also great. Love all the magma covers.  More favorites:    ------------- Over land and under ashes In the sunlight, see - it flashes Find a fly and eat his eye But don't believe in me Don't believe in me Don't believe in me |

I like the classic simplicity of the Dark Side of the Moon cover - it's one picture that you could never mistake for anything else - once seen, never forgotten. My wife has even recreated the design in stained glass, so we have a DSOTM ....errmm....suncatcher

Relayer is one of my favourite covers ever. Ususally bands put out really uninventive covers, but Yes has done a good job of art.
Although not prog, I've always thought Dave Matthews Band's Under The Table And Dreaming was a beautiful cover. ------------- http://imageshack.us">

My vote goes to OTHER because I believe In The Court deserves the vote, either that one or the cover art of Lateralus. ------------- ...Histoires Sans Paroles... |

I like a love a lot of prog album covers. Including the Ash Ra Tempel. A popular one I really don't like is ITCOTCK.

Fun and evil. Just like Mr. Vander himself. The bravest debut(double)album ever.  I think both albumcovers and prog peaked in the 70's   ------------- Over land and under ashes In the sunlight, see - it flashes Find a fly and eat his eye But don't believe in me Don't believe in me Don't believe in me |

This just fits the whole mystical theme of the album very well.
 It's enigmatic and strangely peaceful, just like the music itself.
 It's just classic Dean.
 Why? Because it's awesome is why.
 Because this looks exactly like my dad.
 I just love it.
 It illustrates the "Curse of White People" perfectly.
