Both have some beautiful, but also some really bad ones. Going with OT, as their lows aren't as low as Yes'. The Yes ones from '78 to '87 are absolutely dreadful, IMO.
What ?!  Tormato is bad ?? LOL - even Wakeman had enough taste to throw rotten tomatoes at it to enhance its beauty.......
LOL

Yes, for sure. Relayer and Fragile are two of the most iconic prog rock album covers!
I consider drone metal to be progressive...

Can only vote for both....I really didn't expect the Ozrics to be quite so far behind!

Even their more average albums (which are still decent!) still have wonderful artwork!

When I first saw the cover of `Waterfall Cities' on my friend Tom Ozric's vinyl copy, it blew my mind! So that was the first Ozrics albums I bought....yet on lowly CD format! :(
I recall your excitement when your saw that one.  I was fortunate enough to be part of the too short-lived Ozric Fanclub - still got all the 'Ozracles' and freebies that came with it all.  The opportunity to have W.C. and Hidden Step on vinyl was only possible by pre-ordering and pre-paying months before they materialised.  Anyway, getting back to the artwork topic - check out that multi-clolour swirly sky on Pungent Effulgent, or dig those Erpmen smoking spliffs on a bus (Live Underslunky).  I did take the 'both' option.

Though I love some of Yes's album covers vastly, I think that the Ozrics had more consistency.
I am currently digging:

Hawkwind, Rare Bird, Gong, Tangerine Dream, Khan, Iron Butterfly, and all things canterbury and hard-psych. I also love jazz!

Please drop me a message with album suggestions.

just a question, did the art creator for Ozric create the art for Voivod as well?

I think Blim and Away are different people, different genders too.
What?
