I don't think your arbitrary selections of what different genres "look like" counts as "basic knowledge."
I think it's strange that you feel cover art is tightly constrained by the genre. What you called "indie pop" art (the Unicorns album) could definitely be called surreal, which you seem to feel is reserved for progressive rock. The
Pink Moon cover art seems very reasonable for the soft, evocative music Nick Drake plays.
Rules never make sense for art. Cover art should reflect the musicians' visual image of their music, not be based on some sort of "genre template."
