Mick Rock. Glen E.Friedman. Bob Gruen. Anton Corbijn. There are thousands of amazing photographers who have captured images that have gone onto become completely iconic. Who are you favorites? What images capture your imagination the most? (Pics would be most effective, but not entirely necessary).

MT who are the artists featued in the pictures you posted? I don't know what most bands look like, even if I have their CDs. Forgive me!

The top pic would be an early promo pic of Pere Ubu(I do not know who shot the pic), and the bottom pic is a very famous Anton Corbijin photo of Ian Curtis in the Joy Division rehearsal space.

four years pass...

I'm in a discussion over on flickr about "Most iconic music photo".

and it's oiccurred to me that there may not be any bands around that could be in such a picture.
All the shots above are of older bands, but are there newer ones too?

Maybe we're too close to the times to see who will be an icon?

sorry for the large photo. worth it though.
