who made Ozrics covers
These fantastic artworks gracing the Ozrics albums are by a chick who goes by the name of 'Blim'.

I don't know Tom, I just think of those bad graffiti pieces in the school yard growing up.

I voted Yes for those great covers by Roger Dean, but not all of them are like that.  And there are some Ozric covers I like better than some Yes covers.

I think Ozric Tentacles have more good album covers than Yes, and OT never showed a man's behind. Both these bands have bad album covers, though "The Hidden Land" by Ozrics is by far the worst.

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.

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! :(
