I just realized what building that cover was shot in front of in Toronto.

Quibble with the Frampton. The yawnsomely literal title for this picture would be something like "Frampton Stares" or "Mouth Agape, With Guitar." It doesn't show him "coming alive," not literally.

Well, maybe if the album was called Crouching manfully next to a Panther maybe.

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

yeah, on same theme I picked up a second hand copy of Big Jim Sullivan's LP "Big Jim's Back" yesterday. Guess what the cover pic is of?

Props to these guys for pulling this off on a self-titled album!

not that I don't love this album, though it would have been more apropos (and more hilarious!) if it had been named Super Gaye.

Quibble with Billy Joel's "Glass Houses" - he is patently OUTSIDE the house. Has there ever been a proverbial - as opposed to legal - prohibition specifying that "people shouldn't throw stones AT glass houses"? I think not.

You can be sure this isn't a photo of the first time Coltrane was going to play live at the village vanguard. Alice and Rashied look like some tourist couple who've stumbled into some sidewalk wax museum.

― Dr. Annabel Lies (Michael Kelly), Sunday, 1 February 2004 19:56 (twenty-one years ago)

(in case you can't read it, the album is named She's Strange)

Hmmmm....the only thing left about the Village Vanguard is that sign. Otherwise, it's a Duane Reade drug store today.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Sunday, 1 February 2004 20:23 (twenty-one years ago)

I was gonna ask whether it finally closed down.

― jody (Jody Beth Rosen), Sunday, 1 February 2004 20:25 (twenty-one years ago)

thanks to Dr Annabel for finally getting that Thomas Leer and Robert Rental LP cover onto an ILM album covers thread, which i'd been trying to do for ages ;)

Reminder from a terrible pedant: it is possible to be trite and unimaginative without being literal.

"Bleach" features no bleach, "Cartoon Heroes" features no cartoon heroes (at least none I recognize),

Also, the "Water Babies" cover is actually an ironic twist on the Victorian concept; "Danse Macabre" is similar, a hipster reinvention of the graphic tradition. "Moving Pictures" is not "yawnsomely literal" because it employs a pun. Ditto "Rocks"--ok, it might not be Shakespeare, but it is sure trying harder than "The Raven."

Looks like AC/DC are the champions here!

― no opinion, Monday, 2 February 2004 18:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Flick of the switch may be the winner because it looks like some high school kid drew it in study hall.

― dave225 (Dave225), Monday, 2 February 2004 18:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Bleach" features no bleach
Well, the photo is reversed, or, in a sense, bleached. Good enough for ya?

"Cartoon Heroes" features no cartoon heroes (at least none I recognize)
If you are saying that Aqua aren't cartoon heroes, you haven't watched music videos for the past eight years.
