Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted October 7, 2006 Granted, I'm not well-versed in the genre, but finding a legit good prog album cover is tough. King Crimson, for instance, doesn't have any that are better than just okay and a few that are outright awful. The cover for In the Court... is famous, but I think the painting itself is garish.

Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted October 7, 2006 Roger Dean. Those covers had a distinctive look, but I hate that fantasy/sci-fi stuff, so whatever. To be fair to EL&P, there's this: but they brought in a ringer for that one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2006 The Dean stuff is nice, I suppose, but I just can't stand that sort of thing. Speaking of Dean/Yes, Close to the Edge is comparatively tame. If it weren't for the font used in the band's name and album's title, I never would've thought it was him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slayer 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2006 I love a lot of prog rock, yet aside from any Roger Dean work, I can barely think of any covers I'd be "proud" to post in this thread Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Felonies! Report post Posted October 8, 2006 I was downloading some NFL Films music once and accidentally downloaded a Gentle Giant song, because both albums were called The Power and the Glory. It was okay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neil-o-Mac 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2006 I'm surprised no-one's mentioned Dark Side of the Moon yet. Well, now I have. Some of Porcupine Tree's covers are cool too. Lasse Hoile does some great stuff for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
