Giuseppe Zangara Posted October 7, 2006 Author Report 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.
JangoFett4Hire Posted October 7, 2006 Report Posted October 7, 2006 Who's the guy that did the bulk of the covers for Yes?
Giuseppe Zangara Posted October 7, 2006 Author Report 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.
Slayer Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 Shame on Inc for dogging the Roger Dean covers
Giuseppe Zangara Posted October 8, 2006 Author Report 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.
Guest Felonies! Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 Tago Mago is my favorite Can cover. He's speaking his mind!
Slayer Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 Also, Love Beach was one of those "we're just gonna make a lazy record because we really want to close-out our contract" albums
Giuseppe Zangara Posted October 8, 2006 Author Report Posted October 8, 2006 I'm man enough to admit I really like, without shame, the cover of Tarkus.
Guest prezben Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 Could gary floyd possibly, already, just scream out "Incandenza, I'm over here!!!"
Slayer Posted October 8, 2006 Report 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
Guest Felonies! Posted October 8, 2006 Report 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.
Neil-o-Mac Posted October 8, 2006 Report 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.
snuffbox Posted October 9, 2006 Report Posted October 9, 2006 You don't see Porcupine Tree mentioned nearly enough around here.
