| For simplicity, the album named after Hugh Hopper's most covered tune - competition: name that album and the artist who recorded it. |

I'm partial to that artwork on Tales, and obviously, the Classic Yes album. Relayer is great too, but not as colorful. Too hard to pick the absolute best; all of Dean's stuff is cool! -------------  Raymon

I like the simplicity of CTTE, however I think Fragile was a great introduction to the Yes aesthetic.

Maybe the starkness of this image for Glass Hammer's about to be released new album 'The Inconsolable Secret':
Actually I like any of Roger Dean's work -------------

Another one for Relayer! Followed by Tales. I also like 'Alpha' by Asia. Shame about the actual album though. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

Agree with you on that, Blacksword, Alpha cover is great but could never get into the album. My personal favourite album is Aqua and the cover is great too
The gatefold is pretty spectacular as well!

To add to my last posting - the artwork was not by Roger Dean this time (for Aqua). It was done by one Rodney Mathews. The Roger Dean logo is retained and incorporated into the cover art.  -------------

Okay, maybe not the greatest album, but the cover sure is awesome. I also like the Asia debut cover

Here is another great RD cover - It is Gravy Train's "Staircase To The Day" (1974)
If any one is interested here is a site that has a good list and images of Roger Deans covers: http://rateyourmusic.com/lists/list_view/list_id_is_8881 - http://rateyourmusic.com/lists/list_view/list_id_is_8881
