I noticed # 30 on the list that Thor provided looks very much like the cover to Roxy Music's Manifesto...strange coincidence or more of Ferry's avant-gard attitude... check it out and see if you agree...

Re: WORST Album Cover Artwork

I'm gonna have to put some thought into worst album cover, but you can stop the presses as far as BEST album cover of 2007. That is the new Flower Kings cd 'The Sum of No Evil' A bugvan fish

Re: WORST Album Cover Artwork

Thanks for the links to the reeeeeally bad covers. I'm gonna go throw up now.
But i was really looking for bad prog album covers. Maybe we could do it by band... "Yes's worst is (insert your opinion here)", or "ELP's worst is ....".

Oh well, maybe this thread got played out quickly. Back to the music!!!

I think we have hit the end of the line for this one. It was fun.

Re: WORST Album Cover Artwork

Some of Mike Oldfield's covers are lame. Just bad photos of him, like the wanna-be mystical crap-shoot (get it?) that was the cover of Voyager. Ommadawn's cover is pretty non-good too. Incantations....

As for Yes, I'd have to go with Big Generator and Open Your Eyes.
Pink Floyd: Piper at the Gates of Dawn.
Rush: I'm pretty non-impressed with the debut's cover.

And most of Roxy's are just trashy.
