Bottom/ After many successive album covers with Roger Dean, English progressive rock band Yes instead commissioned Hipgnosis (known for designing album covers for Pink Floyd) to create the artwork for Going For The One (Atlantic, 1977). Yes's return at the height of the punk movement was an unexpectedly successful one. Top/ Billed "The English guys with the big fiddles" in the U.S., Electric Light Orchestra, a.k.a ELO, released their first No. 1 album in the UK, Discovery (Jet Records), in 1979. Typically consisting of pop songs with heavily classical overtones, the LP contained five hit songs including "Shine a Little Love" and "The Diary of Horace Wimp", many of which were heavily influenced by disco.
