I've been listening to a lot of Yes lately. It always been one of my favorite bands. I love the color they add to rock and roll. This progressive rock band employes artist Roger Dean to do some of the artwork to some of their album covers. He also does work for Asia, Uriah Heep, Budgie, and others. Very colorful and unique artwork. More links to his artwork. Below a video of his artwork to the tune of Yes And You and I, from the classic Close to the Edge album.
Here's one of my favorite songs from Yes, a reunion show featuring the classic line up. This version be found on their Keys to Ascension album. Ladies and gentlemen, America.
I did see Yes on tour at Alpine Valley on 8/11/1984 during their 90125 Tour. I still want to see the classic line up.
So what are your favorite album covers?

Oh Gawd,this blog took me an hour to do do.
I would have to say my all time favorite has to be the classic Pink Floyd prism on Dark Side of the moon.
Sorry, but I'm not a Yes man. (groan)
When LPs became CDs, I guess I stopped looking at album art. I was an early David Bowie fan, so when I think of album art, I think of his covers.
KK-That is a great album cover. A classic. My son even regonizes it.
Orbs-I like the Ziggy Stardust album cover. Classic record too.
My favorites are a toss-up between Asia and Tales from Topographic Oceans. Used them for screensavers.
