The Owl Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 I love both these artists and have each helped the bands they do covers for shine. Storm is mostly known for his cover art with Pink Floyd and Syme as you know is known for his work with Rush . It's http://discoblog.houste.info/images/Pink%20Floyd%20-%20Animals.jpg vs http://www.hall9000.de/rubriken/service/plattentruhe/grafiken/rush_test.jpg Take your pick (Note this is not a comparison of music, just cover art) And mods, if you feel another artist deserves a spot fell free to add them on.
treeduck Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 What about a newer artist like Travis Smith responsible for the following cover art? Age of Silence - Acceleration Bloodbath - Resurrection Through Carnage Death - The Sound of Perseverance Katatonia - Tonight's Decision Katatonia - Last Fair Deal Gone Down Katatonia - Viva Emptiness Lilitu - The Delores Lesion Novembers Doom - To Welcome the Fade Novembre - Novembrine Waltz Opeth - Still Life Opeth - Blackwater Park Opeth - Deliverance Opeth - Damnation Opeth - Lamentations DVD Soilwork - Natural Born Chaos Soul Embraced - This is My Blood Strapping Young Lad - SYL Subterranean Masquerade - Temporary Psychotic State EP Subterranean Masquerade - Suspended Animation Dreams Townsend, Devin - Terria Townsend, Devin - Accelerated Evolution Winds - Reflections of the I Winds - The Imaginary Direction of Time
tangy Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 Syme has also done some good work for Megadeth and DT.
The Owl Posted April 7, 2007 Author Posted April 7, 2007 QUOTE (tangdog @ Apr 7 2007, 11:09 AM) Syme has also done some good work for Megadeth and DT. I know and Storm has also done work for Audio Slave and Alan Parsons. I was merely putting what the're most known for.
Finbar Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 QUOTE (tangdog @ Apr 7 2007, 12:09 PM) Syme has also done some good work for Megadeth and DT. And Iron Maiden! http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/21/Iron_Maiden_-_The_X_Factor.jpg
tangy Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 I went with Hugh. Roger Dean has also done some awesome work.
Groovybass77 Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 Storm is my favorite overall. Syme has done some good stuff, but everything storm comes up with is genius! For all his work go to www.stormthorgerson.com
floydfanatic111 Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 Styx used both Hipgnosis/Storm Thorgerson and Hugh Syme. Hipgnosis was used for Pieces of Eight. Dennis DeYoung hated the cover at first but grew to like it by saying "the women on the cover are now good looking as I am getting older". Hugh did Edge Of The Century, the post-Tommy Shaw album Storm did Cyclorama. Storm did covers for Pink Floyd, Genesis, two Yes covers, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin among others
PuppetKing2112 Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 Where does Roger Dean figure into all of this?
Finbar Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 I really think Roger Dean should've been included in this poll. But of course, that's just IMFO!
KublaKhan Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 It was tough. Hugh has done some wicked work, but I have to say Storm Thorgerson has done some incredible PF covers, especially Atom Heart Mother, Meddle and Obscured By Clouds. All really good stuff.

Yes, Mod's please add Roger Dean. I completly forgot about him (Yes, Asia) when I made this . Ashamed I should be. Please add him and alter the tiltle of the thread please
Stormtron Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 QUOTE (Kudzu @ Apr 7 2007, 04:45 PM)I had to vote Storm, but I love both artists' work. ^
The Rocinante Posted April 8, 2007 Posted April 8, 2007 Storm, both are great though. Roger Dean should have been included tho.

Rushman14 Posted April 8, 2007 Posted April 8, 2007 well now that Roger Dean has been added, he gets my vote. Here is one of my favorite Dean covers. It's the import version of Gentle Giant's "Octopus". Great album. http://www.expose.org/GaryGreen/octopus_eu.jpg
The Owl Posted April 8, 2007 Author Posted April 8, 2007 Now that the change has been made its now.... http://products.priceclash.co.uk/images/nodrop/220/B000026A08/music/anderson-bruford-wakeman-howe.jpg vs. http://home.q04.itscom.net/hiropon/meddle.jpg vs. http://www.thebestlinks.com/images/6/6c/Rush_Hemispheres.jpg i voted storm, but it is very close. These are the 3 best cover art artists in the music business

Rush! Posted April 9, 2007 Posted April 9, 2007 Dean's work is incredible, but I go with Storm. All 3 of them are equally brilliant.
The Owl Posted October 9, 2007 Author Posted October 9, 2007 Sorry for reviving an old thread, but we have had alot of new members in the past 6 months so instead of starting a new thread, I revived this old one.
rushgoober Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 All three great artists, but I went with Roger Dean.
The Owl Posted October 9, 2007 Author Posted October 9, 2007 When this thread was originally in place I went with Thourgerson Just for my faviorate album cover.......Animals http://img46.exs.cx/img46/3349/pinkfloydanimals6zh.jpg
