Best Yes album cover Roger didn't do.

[Strawbs]

What's your choice? I choose Going For The One.

[DREAMER]

Yep, Going For The One. I often wonder what Roger Dean would have come up with for that album...

I don't really like any of the non-Dean covers. I'd probably go for GFTO as it's my favourite album and at least the cover doesn't annoy me...

I really like the covers of GFTO, 90125 and Talk. Big Generator is probably the only cover that i think is truly bad. And the maybe the US cover of Time and a Word.

GFTO

The whole "David vs. the Goliath" theme is a viewpoint......More than just a shallow 'naked dude' rendering.

The first Yes album, English version. I love the punchiness of the logo, it still looks good today! Don't get me wrong I love Roger's logo but the one Banks designed isn't as psychedelic, and thus seems ageless.

[pianozach]

Talk.

[Punj Lizard]

GFTO - I like the triptych sleeve, the photo on the inside, the funny lines that run across the cover, even the skyscrapers and the butt-crack.
90125 - simple, minimalist, clean.

[bicko]

90125

TAAW - UK version

Honourable Mention: The inside spread of GFTO.

[Ceasar's Palace]

The Yes Album. Check my avatar. (I've always wanted to say that)
The "centrespread" is really nice, you can almost imagine the pictures moving like in a Harry Potter newspaper...

The worst is Big Generator

[RelayerI]

Do you think they could get Roger to do 'Special Edition' covers for the ones he didn't do originally ?

All Yes albums should have Roger Dean covers...

[TwinArchers]

I like The Yes Album and you have to consider the inside cover for that as well. My choice may have something to do with the fact that it is part of the holy trinity of Yes albums.

[Sharp on Attack]

Yes, probably The YES Album. I love that photo, including that broken foot !

[PeterCologne]

Probably Tormato - I like the irony in it... ist is really quite cool...

All in all I wish, Yes had less Dean covers in the recent decades. The last one, that made sense to me is Drama... all the other Dean-covers that came later were just more or less cheap clichee-covers... Rocks, trees, that stuff, I am quite tired of it. And this images, I find, do Yes no favour, because they let the band appear like an dusted Oldie-Band. Cause Roger Deans younger art does not have really artistic power and reminds you too much of past eras.

Nevertheless, the CTTE-cover is great, Relayer and Tales are as well.

My Cover-Top-Ten would be:
1: Close To The Edge
2: Tormato (though I like te music muss less)
3: Talk
4: Relayer
5: Tales
6: Going For The One (also not one of my favourite Yes-music)
7: Drama
8: Big Generator
9: The Yes-Album
10: Fragile

Magnification. By miles. It's the only Non-Dean cover I can really stand.

[nexy]

i kinda like the cover for Extended Versions. It's like they all getting ready to go out for dinner.
