I like the futuristic sci-fi and almost dystopian look of Caater's cover art, but also clearly made on a budget :]

Pretty much everything Man's Ruin Records (Frank Kozik), Hydrahead Records (Aaron Turner) and John Dyer Baizley (Baroness, Gillian Welch.)

I remember buying the album on a whim a few months ago purely for the cover and name alone, although I can't say I've seen that variation before. S'pose this is the one I'm most familiar with.

I'd like to think maybe those button eyes gave Bowie inspiration for the Lazarus music video. :roll:

It was special edition cover exclusive to Alabama, only a lucky few got it. Who else saw this cover? :wink: :P

Spoiler: show
Full disclosure: I'm showing my internet age here. That's a picture from the famous Alabama Leprechaun newscast. When I first saw the album cover it was all I could (and still do) picture and it cracks me up every time. :lol:

This is kind of an obvious one in a way and I'm not a Yes fan at all, but you can't deny it's good shit.

Have you been reading my mind? Maybe a controversial prog opinion but that is my favourite Roger Dean Yes cover.

I’ll give you a controversial prog opinion- 90125 and Big Generator are the greatest Yes records. Absolute genius pop albums.

Without. A. Doubt. :D
Both albums definitely offer something different from other AOR albums and bands at the time like Asia, and with Trevor Horn as producer you really can't go wrong.
