Yes: Tales from Topographic Oceans - 1974: Perhaps no band and graphic artist are as inextricably linked as Yes and Roger Dean. Dean's surreal landscapes were the perfect visual depiction for prog-rock's most cosmic ambassadors. With its incongruous pairing of rocky topography and sea life, Dean's cover for Yes' four-song magnum opus is probably his most unusual, but also perfectly appropriate for a band then bent on breaking artistic boundaries.
