I think it speaks for itself. Plus, I don't like the others very much except for Foxtrot.

I love Roger Dean's cover art, and I find "Relayer" very beautiful. However, my personal favourite is the inner cover of CTTE - with all those gorgeous, soothing shades of green, you can almost feel the water! Utter genius.

Humor: Kansas-Two For The Show (nice play of words and funny to watch the two
old cleaning ladies)
Beautiful art: Pallas-The Sentinel (I love the blend of fantasy and colours)
Picture matches with lyrics/concept: Pink Floyd-Animals (dark and ominous)
Personal favorite: Marillion-A Script For A Jester's Tear (typcial Fish his world of fantasy
and emotion)

Good list. Voted for Relayer (my second favorite).
My favorite cover is:
Its a surreal mystery, and goes very well with the song The Musical Box
as well as the whole album. The naive style of the drawing/painting
makes it even more disturbing. Not a real explanation, but its an image
thats been haunting me, and inspired me since my late teens. Foxtrot is
also great.
Love all the magma covers.

I like the classic simplicity of the Dark Side of the Moon cover - it's one picture that you could never mistake for anything else - once seen, never forgotten. My wife has even recreated the design in stained glass, so we have a DSOTM ....errmm....suncatcher

Relayer is one of my favourite covers ever. Ususally bands put out really uninventive covers, but Yes has done a good job of art.
Although not prog, I've always thought Dave Matthews Band's Under The Table And Dreaming was a beautiful cover.

My vote goes to OTHER because I believe In The Court deserves the vote, either that one or the cover art of Lateralus.

Who doesn't like it now?

I like it but you said : Most beautiful cover art ever I don't think it's that one. I have yet to find one though... I'll keep thinking

I like a love a lot of prog album covers. Including the Ash Ra Tempel. A popular one I really don't like is ITCOTCK.
