Err...but Mark, that album's called Sucking in the 70's. I don't see in sucking go on.

billy joel looks so cool in that! I wonder if he went to see The Dictators back in the day, or something... maybe The Hassle even opened for them!

Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Friday, 30 January 2004 15:37 (twenty years ago) link

on his foot there, do you think that's wear-and-tear on the album cover or is it salt-stains on his zippered ankle boots? salt stains on rock boots are awesome.

Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Friday, 30 January 2004 15:39 (twenty years ago) link

billy definitely could have hung out with these dudes:

Billy is looking so WILLIAMSBURG HIPSTER in that PIC...those jeans alone would probably go for $125 now days.


OTM re: Salt Stained Rock Boots, AWESOME!


very punk.

Do my eyes deceive me...or is that a LITTLE bit of SIDEPIPE there too?

ddb, Friday, 30 January 2004 16:14 (twenty years ago) link

Billy looks cool, but his reflection is the campest way to have a chest-burster kill you ever.

Good lord! That Foghat cover is absolutely brilliant.

Yeah but I bet the genius execs who came up with/approved the cover were not.

no opinion, Friday, 30 January 2004 18:14 (twenty years ago) link

There's probably 100 better examples of this one, but this was all I could find...

"Believe it or not, the name of this album is "The Earth, a Small Man, His Dog and a Chicken"

But the cover has a cock, not a chicken.
Ahhhhhh...

Oh my god....I haven't seen that cover in about fifteen years. Getting misty!

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 31 January 2004 03:56 (twenty years ago) link

I don't think I ever made it through the whole thing.

may pang (maypang), Saturday, 31 January 2004 04:03 (twenty years ago) link

The title track and "General Strike" are okay, if I remember correctly.

Mike Ouderkirk (Mike Ouderkirk), Saturday, 31 January 2004 07:38 (twenty years ago) link

You have to use the greater-than/less-than brackets. Like this:

She’s not out of them, looks to me like she’s got plenty of bags. I suppose she could be out of some… different bags. Different different bags.

Peter Bardens - Write My Name In The Dust

Although he doesn't have his name written in the dust, so maybe it doesn't belong here.

Wonder if there was a conversation about whether the artist and title should be switched, and it got nixed bc someone thought that would be too yawnsomely literal

one month passes...

I finally got a copy of Fire Of Unknown Origin, and I never before noticed how literal the cover art is (though, it's the opposite of yawnsome, to be fair).
