Since we have so many "Best Prog Covers" threads, how about the opposite? I'll start with and This may not be as bad, but i've never figured out exactly what the hell it is. |

Well, there's a rather extensive thread on the subject, it's a very
funny read (you can search for it). I quite like the Moving Gelatine
Plates album cover by the way, want the album.

The cover of meddle is probibly one of my favorites. It is part of an ear by the way. The worst is LOVE BEACH you cant get any cheesier then that. |

The meddle cover is an ear, look at it turning you head to your left.

I love Storm's work, but Going for the One and Tormato are awful album covers!

Now I see it! Meddle is forgiven. I always thought it was some weird coral thing. |

I always though the thing on the cover of "Meddle" was a lizard or a salamander . |

I've always thought that Genesis had bad album covers.

How? Nursery Cryme is a great cover. Foxtrot's cover is very extensive (including the fact that Nursery Cryme is far in the backgroung.) Selling England is a dipiction of the lawnmower in "I know what I like" and a depiction of the theme of "Selling England" in general. The Lamb's cover is about Rael obviously and very interesting. I don't know, just my opinion. |

I used to think Meddle was a crop field, that aliens "meddled" with and put crop circles into. I still can't figure out Saucerful but I love it. Worst would have to be Going For the One, what in the hell is a naked man doing on a Yes album cover? |
