Bert making a token effort here but ultimately you'd have to call it a fail

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

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.

Speaking of which

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".

"Every record cover where a 50s/60s artist goes 70s in a big way" is an alternative option too!

Styx went all in on the 80s thing. Like you could have just put a robot on your album cover--you didn't have to do a concept album about a guy posing as a robot or something.

it is amazing how many of these records I have never heard, or heard of

That Grace Slick record has some interesting lyrics:

"It's wrong for an Arab to drink liquor,
But he's a real man if he has two wives
It's wrong for a western man to marry two women,
But he's a real man if he can drink all night

In Greece, take your wine glass and smash it on the floor
They say "Ha ha! How happy you are!"
But here if you break your glass and behave bizzare,
They're gonna kick you right out of that bar"

that Bowie is def that late-80s/early-90s major label college rock aesthetic of like Crowded House and World Party and Jellyfish

dang that Eric Carmen one is GROSS

Piggy Lepton (La Lechera), Wednesday, 31 January 2024 20:49 (two years ago)

xxpost Bowie was doing 80s covers in the 70s. Never Let Me Down is a prophecy of '90s alt-rock covers.

Bowie with that 90's "wow crazy man wild" wide-eyed expression, yes lol

FYI Whiney, Mike Haggerty, who designed the album cover for Never Let Me Down also did Jellyfish's "Bellybutton" and "Spilt Milk" covers.
