OLD SOCK VS. FORK IN THE ROAD: Which Album Cover Has The Most IDGAF Old Dude Swag

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xogiUUMy_RU

i apologize if it's already been acknowledged but neil's cover is a screencap from the title track's video, in which he plugs headphones into an apple and shakes it at us while lip syncing.

Neil by a mile.

I feel like this cover is just more of Clapton wishing he was as cool as JJ Cale

Clapton's cover just looks like an old rich dude that wants to make a point to the folks that have picked up the album that he is rich, and you aren't.

I GOT A HAT FOR MY BIRTHDAY = Clapton

I feel like the older generation is taking a "well the kids obviously aren't even trying anymore so why should we" stand with these moronic album covers

Old Sock is a great title. Looks like he's on a vast expanse of private property.

Still the ultimate Old Man Swag album cover

the clapton cover is easily the more "I straight do not give a fuck how this looks" in every way - Neil's goin' for something, knows what it is, gets it. Clapton has reached a point of not caring. Neil's is old dude IDGAF swagger. Clapton's is an old dude who does not give a fuck.

that said, yes, "old sock" is a truly incredible album title choice and taken together with that cover should be respected

Old Sock more like Old Cock, aren't I right?

more like bold rock, this album slays

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

I mean, he could've gone for Old Times, Old Blues, Old Way, Old Man, Old Guitar, Old Blvd., etc., and everyone from Starbucks on up would've been satisfied. But no. He's rattling that gold cage.

He took the picture with his iphone... on holiday... in Antigua.

What a yoyo this guy is.

My gf just said he looks like a sex tourist in Thailand.

It was going to be called '50 Years Adrift in an Old Pontoon."

50 Years Adrift in an Old Pontoon VS Old Sock?

Whoa. Bowie named the Clapton album!

ok. i'm done now!

Oh man, if only the Bowie people had put a box with Old Sock on top of 461 Ocean Boulevard.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

The thing is, Clapton entered his lazy old man phase a long time ago, see also:

1. album's presentation as "live" is so dubious that the designer had inverted commas brought in
2. dude has just fucked off and stopped playing to check his watch and/or smoke a cigarette
3. what an asshole

The Clapton album's cover may suck, but it doesn't even compare to the lyric video for the first single in terms of fuck-you hideousness:

2. dude has just fucked off and stopped playing to check his watch and/or smoke a cigarette

I assumed he was timing the awesome sustain he can get

"Boy, I've been doing this racist anti-immigrant rant for seven minutes!"

Love Neil, but Leonard wins for effortless/cool IDGAF + hat

Pfft, he's reading, he gives a fuck OLD SOCK REGINS

however, Clapton would beat Neil if these were answers to the family feud clue "things you masturbate into"

it would take less time to actually hand-write that than to find a clunky "handwriting" font and type it out

To be fair, the same applies to the CGI John Fogerty.

fogerty should inspire "wow, that guy looks great for his age" talk but the haircut and the bandana around the neck are pretty nagl

sony rejected it (those assholes) but leonard cohen originally wanted this to be the cover for ten new songs:

wooooow

i love them

van morrison needs to step up his old man game. only "pay the devil" comes close.

if chicago ever throws out a "hot streets" for the 21st century we may be in for radioactively gaudy old man swag

O Slothfingers, when will ye repent thy douchebaggery

Bill Wyman shows the latest wife his custom-built swag, and finds some nice jewelry for her.

this poll is bullshit, it's just "who do you like better, Neil Young or Eric Clapton"

there are 15 people on ilm who like eric clapton better than neil young?

I was going to say highly unlikely but that is woefully insufficient
