this old quote from woebot's blog seems sort of pertinent (on 70s rock):
What is it with hairies that causes them, at the drop of a shilling, to don a tailcoat and top hat, like it was the funniest fucking joke in the world? Who cracked it first? Cream on the cover of "Goodbye Cream" probably, in those ridiculous white suits. I swear I've come across so many whiskered stoned grinning idiots dressed up like this on record covers in the last week. You goons!

Man I had to check Acme Thunder out on Youtube... that is a singularly terrible band right there. Like they took all of the wrong cues from southern, prog and hard rock and whipped them into a shitty frappe.

I wonder if there was a shop that bands that wanted to get an Earth, Wind and Fire look could go, like some big B. Coat Factory for the the hip star child in you.
― earlnash, Sunday, 15 May 2016 02:06 (ten years ago)
was tipped off to their existence via a heathcote williams interview i read the other day. amazon review has me kind of curious: ...though the front cover displayed them as futuristic glam-rockers, Wilderness Road actually played a mutant hybrid of mountain music, psychedelia, rock, country and avant political satire

I've come to the conclusion that as an album title, "Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols" sits comfortably in the tradition of this thread. And I'd love to see the cover re-imagined in the style of some of those featured here.
