Magicians Birthday, Demons and Wizards, Fragile, Close To the Edge, and Leftoverture(my favorite). There are many others as well but those always come to mind for me.

I quite like Origin of Symmetry by Muse, and a lot of their artwork is
quite interesting. Radiohead artwork is pretty mindblowing also.
Weather Report covers are quite cool (why the hell is there a hat on
Heavy Weather???).

| My favourite of all time is Yes - Relayer. Psychotic Waltz's A Social Grace is incredible, too, as is Into the Everflow. Just off the top of my head, excluding Roger Dean's covers, ITCOCK and SFAM also stand out. |

I love most of Storm Thorgerson's work. He's a very good photograph and
he have good ideas. All the albums isn't great, but the covers is
wonderful! http://www.stormthorgerson.com/ Roger Dean is another favourite of mine. I also like the cover Andy Warhol made for "Velvet Underground & Nico" (non-prog). -------------
