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

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

Fuck voting for a hat

No but I think there are enough people who would vote based on just thinking Neil Young is cooler than Eric Clapton to sway the poll.

oh god, not the integrity of the old sock vs. fork in the road poll

our very democracy is at stake

neil young definitely looks like he gives less of a fuck but it's a stretch to call it swag

you can swag on my nuts if you think you have a point

lol

lol i heard a song on the radio that i thought was kinda jammin and it turned out to be from Old Sock

Old Sock is not a bad album!

The late 80s/early 90s AOR chart polls have convinced to explore Clapton's discography in greater depth!

Something weirdly cryingeagle.jpg about that image.

Had a dream about this very thread just last night! I was visiting my sister and Clapton was in the kitchen for some reason, talking on the phone and looking like he looked in the '70s. Meanwhile I was amusing myself by playing the special 4CD expanded version of Zappa's "Freak Out!" in four different players at once so it just sounded like a lot of garbled noise. My brother-in-law came in and asked "What the hell are you listening to?" just as Clapton ended his call and joined us. I pointed to him and said "He's on this record!" (even tho it's actually a different Zappa album I was thinking of) and he said "That's 'Freak Out'!" and laughed and did the "It's God! I See God!" just like he actually does on "We're Only In It For The Money". Then it occurred to me that as long as Clapton was there, I might as well ask him a question about Neil Young just so I could post his reply on this thread (seemed like a good idea) so I addressed him, but for some reason I started stuttering and mumbling and couldn't get the words out. Finally I managed "What do you think of Neil Young?" and he gave a noncommittal "oh, he's all right, y'know". I realized that with all my stuttering I'd come off as some kind of fawning fanboy and that he was giving me a really patronizing answer just to shut me up. I was pissed off but said no more. The end.

Lol
