I bet the NHOTW is the only forum on the internet that has a Prog-Rock LP cover monster punch-up subforum

Wait, are we having both the Crimson King and 21st Century Schizoid Man?

I don't like that idea, at all.

Oh, bum!

I'll change it.

I've made enough suggestions, someone's turn.



*cough* *cough* Pink Floyd's Pig? Maybe the Roger Waters racist boy pig?

Yes, the final match should be one from The Countess and one from Wendi-Pops.

We def. need the Budgie mumble mumble army.

Asia have got some good cover suggestions. Just don't listen to any of the content,

Since you insist, I nominate the Wishbone Ash Argus figure



He may have thrown down the sword, but he can still give you a nasty poke with that prong.

She.

Well I never!

And I shall go for the man with the scythe on Barclay James Harvest's Time Honoured Ghosts, as it is the only Prog cover I can think of that isn't by Supertramp.

But he's a peaceful harvester, it wouldn't be right to fight him.

Just out of shot is the pile of corpses he's butchered.

Wot about this chap?

I do get the feeling that Barclay James Harvest were the softest group in history.

Don't forget Caravan.

Perhaps there should be a battle between the most harmless prog-rockers?

Most meek and whimsical band wins.

That little boy from the Fruupp LP cover might stand a chance.

Does Wendi sanction the BJH Reaper or not?
