They really dropped the ball when it came to the US release (Europe got a different cover). A fine album, too. |

for some reason I always think the guy on the Hawklords cover is supposed to be a swashbuckler. why he is holding a glowing neon tube is beyond me though. maybe he is the space age equivalent of a swashbuckler, an intergalactic pirate, and that neon tube is a kind of laser sword. I don't know, but he is a swashbuckler for sure

I expect there are worse but it wasn't that fine when I had to carry that record into school back in the day.

I'm with you on this one. Not a fun cover to look at.

Two of my favorite albums, and I don’t think I can disagree with you. |

funny, I wonder if I think the cover of Close to the Edge is great just because the contents are. |

Someone did To me this is a great cover in terms of design and is Pictures At An Exhibition The worst ELP cover has to be Welcome Back My Friends . Totally says 'couldn't be bothered'. Tormato must also a slam dunk in any ones book.

Big Generator. (That hideous yellow...)
Love Beach. (And there are worse outtakes as well. And it's not a well taken photo...) Hemispheres. (I suppose it's in the title...) Going For The One. (I know these two have been mentioned but ... butt...) Talk.
(Even if this was marketed well which it wasn't that would mean even
more people would be annoyed at another Roger Dean -less cover. Pop
group - quite good - with access to the single best artist for album
covers (alone), decide against that and do this one...) Abacab. (And there are 4 versions. C'mon guys it's not exactly the In Through The Out Door art...) Edited by uduwudu - July 12 2019 at 02:07 |

Progheads really need to get over their fears of becoming gay because they'd like album covers featuring male buttocks ... Grow up for prog's sake. Would you think these album artworks as good if it was females' buttocks on the covers??

No, better: I prefer this one, and also Zep's Houses of the Holy, over the ones aforementioned.

Soft Machine's. Truly uninspired. By the way, I like that one by Spring which shows either a dead or sleeping bobby wrapped in what appears to be the Union Jack.

I do like the Spring album cover. It's nice and creepy.

What makes this a bad album cover to me is his petulant stance. |

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.
