HERE ARE THE FUCKING TOWELS
I'm so old I remember when this album came out, and I never before realized the LED-style display on the front represented the three band members. Fuckin' hell.:doh:

It would have been a great fit for the '60s, too bad it came out in '71. :v:

What?

Look at those bold earth tones. Look at the desolation. Look at the chrome, war machine armadillo.

That album cover screams the 70s.

Man that is one of the most late 50s album covers I've ever seen. The female equality struggle practically radiates off it. loving classic.

Released in '61 but it's more of a '50s cover

He was really popular in Central America in the 1980's. That's where he had all his greatest hits.

THis is an old thread and I don't remember if these were posted yet but whatever:

60';s: socially conscious psychedelic funk band led by SLY STONE getting the music going with this album right here, with photo lab tricks and a typeface that went to college to get out of the draft





70s:
Jefferson Airplane's swan song before they regressed to the decadent depths that would later produce the already mentioned we built this city. The story goes that an aging hippie turned computer programmer made an early screen saver based on the design





80"s im skipping because every other post is about the 80s


90s: As someone mentioned, this belongs to that late 90s to early 00's area with indifferent white people before a 'shopped patterned background. Made a mint protesting consumer culture with this one. Note the barcode on the right shoe




2000 s: this image represents what it means to be a teenage in the first half of the 200s growing up in the shadow of george bush II

It's the new Apple/Yoko collaboration. You bring it to work with you and piss off all your colleagues with it until everybody quits.
