Topic: Worst YES album cover Posted: October 18 2005 at 12:23 |
Although some people give a lot of credit to the artist that draw most of YES´ album covers, I still find them a little ugly and not really atractive. Am I the only one?

The absolutely worst Yes album cover -- and dare I say one of the all-time
worst covers ever done for any artist -- is Big Generator. |

I always thought of it as a tribute to the debut album cover! |

Had I looked at "Magnification" album cover before, I would definitely have put it on the list. It sure is ugly, and probably the title is even uglier, and pretentious too. "Big generator" cover is not that ugly, it´s only simple. The same could be said about "Three of a perfect pair" by King Crimson. "Time and a word" cover is as simple and unatractive as it gets. However it could not be called ugly and at least it shows the band very young. The one I really think is ugly is "Tormato´s". However, it is so ugly that seems like they had tried to make it ugly, so at the end it is just funny. The really true ugly and unatractive is "Tales´". So simple. Also, it is the presentation to something that was supposed to be great and huge (which is by the way, a flawed uninspired and imagineless waste of time). It was an album cover attempt after 5 not so good attempts, and was yet worse ¡¡¡¡ |

I voted for Tormato but Big Generator is a terrible cover also. Going for the One is horrid too. Edited by TheProgtologist |

Come to think of it....when we saw the band live in August of 04, 3/5
of the personnel was fairly unattractive as well............

Meant to vote for Big Generator, voted for Tormato What the hell is that on the covers of Big Gen and 90125? Total lack of creativity, worthy of the music |

All the covers that are mentioned in the list, are great. Only, what is that naked man doing on my Going For The One cd? Why did someone squash a tomato on my Tormato - album? I don't like the cover for Big Generator. I don't really like the latest Roger Dean covers anymore. It becomes a bit boring. |

Big Generator and 90125 are the least imaginative out of all the Yes album covers. The best imo are TFTO and Relayer - I am a Roger Dean fan

Tormato. The story as I read in an interview at the time was that they
were trying to get the band in a shot with Yes Tor( in Exmoor I think
-Tor being a rocky outcrop - there are several and one is called Yes
Tor) and one of the band thought the pictures were so bad, they threw a
tomato at it (oooh, they were animals) and it stuck so to speak.
One of the worst album covers of all time. Actrually thinking about it Big Generator is probably worse.... |

All the RABIN era's covers are quite ugly like they tried really hard to distance themselves from their symphonic/roger Dean period.
Union has a beautiful cover but every member of the band was involved in this project.
So Big Generator win this dubious prize beating 90125 and Talk!
