The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. 
Only the king's sword on the artwork (but a lot of stuff inside).

I would've voted for The Six Wives of Henry VIII, but seeing as it's not in the poll, I'll vote for The Turn of a Friendly Card instead. Smile

Gentle Giant, easily.

And strictly speaking, the Tull album doesn't show a king: that's a knave (a Jack, in the playing card deck) on the cover, as the album title suggests...

Oh, such experts on royal dress. Only the King wears a crown with spires on it. That is why the top of the Jack's (knave's) crown in a deck of cards is always cut off at the top showing only the base of the crown. That was not done on all four cards by accident. The fellow over the album crest does indeed have a crown with spires and is therefore a King. Just look at any deck of playing cards ever made. The oldest ones have the Jack's wearing only a hat.

I stand corrected sir, with apologies. But can I at least save face by pinning the error on Ian Anderson? He should have chosen a different album title, or another illustration...

And my apologies to you as well, but these asides do get tiresome. And worse yet with Anderson is that no King and Queen are on the cover of Minstrel In The Gallary. The cover illustration shows the minstrel in a raucous banquet hall.

Musically, definitely GG; In terms of how much I like the cover art/painting, definitely Parsons. As for the others, I am not a big Rush fan (or not a Rush fan at all, to be more precise) but this album is really good, cover's kind of boring; Tull's 'Crest' is fine too, far from their best and cover's ok.
I haven't heard this Elvis album and Roine Stolt is spot-on modern symphonic rock.

Rush as it's my favourite album by them over GG where that album isn't.
