What are your favourite pieces of album art, prog or not prog? Whether it be the front cover, inner gatefold, etc.
My top 5 are: 1. Allman Brothers Band - Eat A Peach 2. Marshall Tucker Band - A New Life 3. King Crimson - In The Wake of Poseidon 4. Judas Priest - Killing Machine 5. Marshall Tucker Band - S/T |

so many choices...some many great choices .. I'll have to think that over.
or just shoot from the hip.. as I am fast on the draw.. and a marksman to boot.. I'll shoot off the top of my head.  1)  2)  3)  4)  great yeah but it is the back cover.. scariest looking band around... to say nothing of the crew.. including the picture of Twiggs.. in jail awaiting murder charges  5) and what is art... without the Italians   |

Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

Great choices. That last one is new to me, though. I'm not even sure what to think about it, actually

I love the cover of KCs "Discipline". Not really the kind of thing that is popular here, it seems...
