Neil's photo looks like he press the photo button while he falling down.
Clapton is getting blown while rich guitar playing lawyers pay huge sums to tell him how cool his tones are

Actually the only way I'd ever respect Eric Clapton even a little bit is if he changes the name of this album to I'M AN ASSHOLE
neil - "I wash born here, an I wash raished here, and dad gum it, I am gonna die here, an no sidewindin' bushwackin', hornswagglin' cracker croaker is gonna rouin me bishen cutter."
eric - "this pic was taken on the beach by our summer home in hawaii. not pictured, beach and home obv! :P"

Neil - Yr weird deadbeat uncle trying to figure out how a polaroid camera worksClapton - VP of yr office on a weekend vacation

neil looks like he got too close to the camera after setting the timer and then just said fuck it and used the photo anywayclapton looks like the kind of disgusting old men my former roommate used to sleep with
advantage: neil

Love Neil, don't care for Clapton but gotta vote for the latter cause Neil's artwork here feels far more affectedly shitty. Clapton's is just a lapse in taste.

Interestingly, Old Sock was originally titled Racist Fucking Piece of Shit.

all these arguments against clapton ironically add to the evidence that he gives less of a fuck. young's cover is somewhat calculated while clapton is effortlessly and repulsively lame.

DON'T LISTEN TO THEM m@tt
Clapton's effortlessly says Hi I'm a Right Bloody C--t and whether he did it on purpose or not he's still Eric Clapton therefore he loses

Also we all need to step back and think on one thing:
Eric Clapton has a new album. That album is called OLD SOCK. OLD SOCK! SERIOUSLY

This is new?! I had just figured that it was some forgotten thing from the 90s or the 00s.

OLD SOCK!!!

what is that against neil's door anyway
― goole, Friday, 8 March 2013 20:55 (eleven years ago) link
The reason I think Neil wins this is that I really don't think he took that picture with the intention of it being his album cover, whereas I think the concept behind the OLD SOCK cover was brainstormed in a conference room around a very, very expensive table.

i can't tell if whatever is against neil's door is leaning or affixed to it. like maybe it's some 2x4's he nailed to the door after he kicked it in the previous night and made a hole.
― christmas candy bar (al leong), Friday, 8 March 2013 20:56 (eleven years ago) link
is that a dog against the door?
― u r the best magician ever. my bad levitate me pls (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 8 March 2013 20:57 (eleven years ago) link
a stuffed dog maybe?
see, i get the feeling neil thought this crazy old man photo would be a great cover for his crazy old man music, really set it off, get people looking at it, no mistake
i get the feeling it never occurred to clapton that anyone would object to title old sock in goofball font with vacay pic
careful consideration is not very swag.

Neil wins on handwritten font alone
― Donkamole Marvin (Shakey Mo Collier), 8. maaliskuuta 2013 20:34
neil does have the most iconic handwriting...
― u r the best magician ever. my bad levitate me pls (upper mississippi sh@kedown), 8. maaliskuuta 2013 20:4
someone should turn neil's handwriting into an actual font.
― fact checking cuz, 8. maaliskuuta 2013 20:57
I think the writing on the cover already is a font. They try to hide it by putting a different "n" in the word "Young", but other than that, all the recurring letters are identical.
― Tuomas, Friday, 8 March 2013 22:17 (eleven years ago) link
yeah yr rightactually hiring some designer to make him his own font would be a TOTAL neil move
