Andy Latimer > your favorite electric guitarist (the general plural "your")

For purely prog material, it's all about the big three: Mirage, The Snow Goose, and Moonmadness. My favorites are much later though: Dust and Dreams, Harbour of Tears, and A Nod and a Wink.

So much prog around here but Camel gets no love.

I had a similar thought. My first task was to look at B&S, Steely Dan, and King Crimson just because those three groups always have great album covers.

I quite like Yes, just not Relayer. CTTE and Fragile are my favorites.

I included one album I don't even like (Yes - Relayer). I distinctly remember buying that album during my prog phase just because the cover was so cool, and then I ended up finding the whole thing incredibly boring.

These are in no particular order. I would need a lot more time to determine a true "top ten", but these are all album covers I really like. I tend to be fond of covers that execute a monochromatic scheme attractively.

Sigur Rós - Takk...



Belle and Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister



Steely Dan - Pretzel Logic



Sibylle Baier - Colour Green



King Crimson - In the Wake of Poseidon



Joanna Newsom - Divers
