>>72082612

His fingers just came through his hair. I couldn't work out the pose for ages either.

I always thought it went well with The Idiot

>>72082823
That's wrong though. It's a pose he took from a painting

>>72082714
dude it's just an opinion and i wanted to see what other people are annoyed by. Calm your shilling

>Bowie fans being this transparent
sorry i said a single album cover was annoying

>>72082755
This one has always baffled me, in particular because New Order tend to have great AESTHETIC covers

>>72082606
So fucking irritating. Great choice.

Bulletproof Tiger - You Wanna Kiss About It?

Won't post it because I don't want to look at it.

>>72082676
He was in the middle of adjusting his hair my dude

>>72082606
Almost any album with a picture of the artist. Björk does it right, though.

>>72084392
okay well fair. I'd never seen the full shoot or heard the context.

THanks for alleviating my annoyance

Fun fact: this pose is actually taken from the painting Roquairol by German artist Erich Heckel. It's is indeed the same pose that Iggy imitates on the idiot.

Hiring Roger Dean the following year was a VERY wise move on their part

>>72082733
It's a pun. It's called Low and it's a profile pic of him. Low profile.

>>72082844
Oh fuck... OH FUCK.

>>72085247
There's also an Egon Schiele painting with a very similar pose. I forget the name of it though.

Posting ELP in these threads is cheating, Anon. Literally all but one of their album covers are infamously bad. They only had one good album cover, and that was because it was done by an actual artist (based H.R. Giger) rather than the hack "artists" at Hipgnosis. Brain Salad Surgery's cover is phenomenal enough to excuse literally all of their other album covers, though.

>>72088440
All her album covers are kinda empty and boring, just her face
Except Strange Mercy

It's LITERALLY a tank with an armadillo head and shell.
...That said, it is still the least-bad ELP cover (excluding Brain Salad Surgery, obviously).


Here's an actually good album cover to balance out all the bad ones ITT.

>>72085503

Even Ozzy hates this cover.

>>72092054
That one is so fucking bad, thought I think there was a more finished version and they went with that one and the artist disowned the whole thing.
