Lots of Soft Machine covers are pretty embarrassing. Doesn't really invite you in or give you any imagination when listening to them for me Unhappy Here's a few (Volume 2, Third, and Hergest Ridge - Mike Oldfield):

Yeah, that Guru Guru's really atrocious.

As for Hergest Ridge I don't find it bad. Like the dog on the lawn.

I would suggest:

I like this cover a lot. Looks nice.

And King Crimson's THRAK cover fits the music perfectly.

Agreed on Abominog, quite a nasty cover.

This cover reminds me of the 1957 movie "Night of the Demon" (also known as  "Curse of the Demon") starring Dana Andrews. Have a look at the demon from that movie:

Oh Lord, this band will never be the same to me after seeing this...
"The Hall of Floaters in the Sky" and "Time Robber" had pretty good cover artworks though

I still insist

This are the worst Prog covers



Even Fireballet's is at list hilarious

PS: Believe it or not, this is a Prog album with Billy Joel, and the cover sucks.


Really distasteful

this is still the worst.. and most disturbing prog album cover ever... 



who stole the real Fripp?... the only thing more capable of throwing my music world view completely out of orbit would have been the (thankfully never done) Sylvian Waters album with Roger smiling and dancing with a budweiser in one hand and a hot red head in the other.

That might actually be a fun album cover.
