No, I wasn't joking at all about the Mono cover.
 
I think it's one of the most striking covers I've ever seen.

Reading my fave net news site CBC.ca, I came across this article re : the graphic arts, specifically Digital art. Interesting approach when one considers that the most modern of arts goes back to the basics of the old masters. http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/tech/hightech/digital-art.html

Prince_Rupert, you're right about Belew painting his cover artwork.
And Yanqui U.X.O. does have an amazing cover (all GY!BE does though, now that I think of it)
And I've never heard Marillion before (heard of them though), but that artwork is amazing...

Oh my! Nothing for my tastes here. The Opeth's cover is quite nice,  but the rest  ranges from truly awful (like Tool, Kamelot...) to boring, clean or just safe.  Even the newer bands I like, most often has pretty lousy coverart:

Here's two bands that are quite good with the visuals, I think:


Acid Mothers Temple


Faun Fables









 
 
Groooooovy.  I like that Faun Fables cover!

Well, I love the work of Lasse Hoile and the music of PT, so I am obviously biased, but I really enjoy the colors and texture of the Deadwing cover, and FoaBP just took time to get used to.

Tool's albums all have great artwork, as does TMV and Radiohead!

Am I the only one who thinks the last two Porcupine Tree album covers are horrible and seem a little childish?  Good music:bad covers!

Darq Dean, good response. I do find a lot of covers are good, even great graphic art. It's just that going back & forth between this thread and the 18 ridiculous prog covers posts kinda motivated me to put my two cents in there about the artistic validity of most of what's out there (past & present).
I would upload some of my faves, but I'm technically adept only at things I get to or need to do on a regular basis.
I do think, IMHO, that RPI has a lot of interesting ones. But prog, like all genres, does have certain set of stereotypical imagery. But then, even the masters (Van Gogh, Rembrandt et al) shared a commonality of styles, as seen by the many schools or styles that developed over the centuries. So while the only cubist painter that most of us Hoi Polloiers know might be Picasso, that doesn't mean that we might not find something to admire in other painters who participated in that "movement", without necessarily worrying about it being derivative. And O.K., I'm surprised that at an intellectually superior site like PA, no one has quoted Monty Python's famous line about art - " I may not know about Art, but I know what I like".
