Again with the pictures; I can never properly contribute visuals.

The Residents' "Eskimo".

That suit on the Rentals guy is hardly formal attire -- plus he's probably not wearing any pants.

Well, he's wearing a tie. That's formal enough for these purposes.

How could I guess the first image would be 'Dressed to Kill'?;-)

Here's another:

They're missing ties, but this is as close as it's going to get for them

I don't know if Rumours really counts as formal wear.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 19 December 2003 03:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah I know. Those two covers just look too good together though!

Maybe this one's a bit of a stretch too.

Neither Cary Grant nor Charlie Watts would approve of this loosey-goosey definition of formality. A related thread might be jazz and pop singers not wearing a coat or tie on the covers of albums released before 1967. Frank Sinatra's "Nice and Easy" comes to mind, on which he boldy sports a cardigan sweater and polo shirt.

C'mon.
