18 ridiculous prog album covers

   I dont know, there are some clunkers there.
The ELP, Gentle Giant,Yes Dream Theater, Fates Warning and *gulp* the Rush one are rather lame.

I cant agree with the selection of either the Marillion "Script" cover or the Genesis "Cryme" cover either.

Many of them were of there time and do seem a tad naff now. They are mostly all eye-catching though and therefore suit their purpose.

	How did I not realize that those were disembodied heads on the Nursery Cryme cover until now?

	It has been discussed a few more times, but here's an article that might interest you: Decorate thine façade with resplendent self-seriousness: 18 particularly ridiculous prog-rock album covers (http://www.avclub.com/content/feature/decorate_thine_facade_with/1). I think they could have done a better job, there are far more ridiculous prog album covers to be found (altough Tormato is a good choice), for instance Hinten from Guru Guru. What do you think?
