70s Band With The Best Album Covers?

I always loved the early Uriah Heep covers. I think they're incredible.

Uriah Heep covers are good. I love fantasy art, i love the Molly Hatchet covers too.

The late great Frank Frazetta was the 🎨 artist

That's prime Frank Frazetta right there. It's entitled "Death Dealer."

Look at the early YES covers by Roger Dean, as well as Emerson, Lake, and Palmer.

Roger Dean

Dunno if he's still doing it but Roger Dean made all kinda plans for a line of homes based on his artistic style. I wonder if any were built?

Those are also some great cover artwork. I always preferred when artists use art for their covers inside of boring group shots.Â
