Hypgnosis kicks Dean's colorful boring landscapes all over the place..... I think Dean's covers are incredible overrated.. -------------

Roger Dean. of course!!!
He made some of the best cover artworks in the whole progressive world: "Fragile", "Relayer", "Tales...", "One Live Badger" (BADGER), "Greenslade" and "Bedside Manners Are Extra" (GREENSLADE), etc...

Roger Deans artwork is first class. Beautiful and hypnotic. As far as albums are concerned, I think Hypgnosis had more range. Different subject matter and themes. My vote goes to Hypgnosis. Sorry Rog.------------- Here I'm shadowed by a dragon fig tree's fan ringed by ants and musing over man. |

Storm Thergerson. But Dean is good. Very good. ------------- The Official Unofficial Krautrock Team: Earning Zappa88's ire since he posted that blasphemous review. |

Anyone who knows anything about prog rock, and dares to vote anyway other than Roger Dean is a bounder, a fool and a charlatan!
I do like Storm's work with Floyd, though...  -------------
