It's the guys in the mirror who make it a great picture.

and the bit between the stocking top and the hemline too, I suppose.

i think the iggy/debbie harry grope pic is a better option than the live shot...

― chris andrews (fraew), Sunday, 4 September 2005 21:49 (twenty years ago)

also - the richard lloyd / no smoking pic... 'please kill me' has amazing photography

― chris andrews (fraew), Sunday, 4 September 2005 21:53 (twenty years ago)

I've always felt this was hugely awesome.....

If Daltrey had his back to the camera, this would be the best photo ever. Unfortunately, it has his face in it.

I always thought the cover of Who's Next was kinda dumb.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Sunday, 4 September 2005 22:12 (twenty years ago)

I do think the Johnny Cash photo is probably the winner. That said:
