I've always liked that Manfred Mann cover.

Steve Cropper looks like he's joined Reef or Terrorvision

Hall and Oates also made the shift, by doing the awkward transitional records in the late 70s. George Harrison's arc would be closer to Heart.

Paul Simon, too.

Seeing Doctor Casino's name immediately made think of the Dog!

Maybe they're trying for a Bow Wow Wow-type thing there.

... Bow Wow Wow meets the Residents.

Kenny should've done a Miami Vice cameo. (Produced by Robin Gibb.)

the little river band has a pretty good run from 76-90 that doesn't include anything that screams 80's to me

Ha!

to be fair, renaissance had a great 80s record cover in 1978!

Remembering some long ago bygone time when I bought some fancy CD storage system from a guy whose prior claim was playing with Annie Haslam.

Al Green Explores Your Mind Gardens (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 31 January 2024 05:32 (two years ago)

this guy only put out one album in the sixties (backed by mighty baby iirc) before his synth-pop rebirth, but:

Roger Waters very much stuck in the 70s there imo

xp I dunno it's tacky af which screams 80's to me, but his handwriting is pretty iconic I suppose

I was thinking more of the tits-and-bums sexism.

That's Gerald Scarfe's handwriting on the Pros and Cons cover.

(Jefferson) (Airplane) (Starship) have an awe-inspiring instinct for the worst conceivable taste in any domain. They never miss.

haha as with the Waters cover above there's a definite air of "what's wrong with being sexy?" about this one

matttkkkk otm... I find it v endearing, tho I guess it helps if you have a soft spot for the whole enterprise!

they're so uncool that it enters the realm of "dgaf"-flex

I had that Roger Waters album on cassette and it had a black bar over the girl's ass, which I still think improves the layout.

best 21st century indie rock cover art by a 60s artist in the 80s goes to the back cover of john fogerty's eye of the zombie album from 1986.

not to be too off-topic...

scott seward, Wednesday, 31 January 2024 17:24 (two years ago)

if i were a chillwaver i would just steal it outright for my cassette release.

scott seward, Wednesday, 31 January 2024 17:24 (two years ago)

just don't ask me about the front cover of that album...

I think he's allowed. Quite a makeover

I guess Neil Young's Trans is too obvious (or too self-aware).

clemenza, Wednesday, 31 January 2024 18:26 (two years ago)

Already posted as nothing is too blatant for this thread

fourth world problems (Matt #2), Wednesday, 31 January 2024 18:28 (two years ago)

Ah, missed it. It does seem a different--not a desperate attempt to keep up, not silly in a way the artist seems oblivious to.

clemenza, Wednesday, 31 January 2024 18:32 (two years ago)

Once this runs out of steam we def have to do "every record cover where a 70s or 80s artist goes 90s in a big way".
