17. Dream Theater: 'Octavarium' (2005) - The prog-rock veterans have consistently released stunning album covers through their 25 year career, but 2005's 'Octavarium' is quite possibly the best even by their own lofty standards. A giant Newton's Cradle emblazoned with their logo sits in a green pastured landscape with birds ominously flying through the air. Hugh Syme's artwork is extremely Storm Thorgerson-esque and all the better for it.

- Um, this is one of the WORST album covers of the 00s. Who made this list, a 12 year old boy who just got into Yes?

- Such an interesting cover! I agree very filmic, great photography from Storm Thorgerson!

- amazinggggggg cover of the greatest album of the decade

- No Opeth covers?! Other than that a good countdown

- I always wonder why there's a gas mask in one, a teddy bear in another etc. It's interesting.
