Who Album Covers
VH1's is doing a greatest album covers, so it got me thinking about Who album
covers.
What is your favorite Who album cover? Your least favorite?
My first thought, honestly, was I hate Who's next album cover. It's stupid.
But, it is a total guy thing. The big phallic tower, whose turn is it next
to piss on it, etc. It is completely appropriate in a certain way. So, of
course, I end up diggin' it, but it is my least favorite, after Live at Leeds,
that is.
I think my favorite has to be Who Are You. "Not to be taken away" being on
Keith's chair was so spooky, I remember thinking. It is ironic, Keith actually
looks the healthiest in that pic. Roger always has great hair, no matter
what he does with it, no matter what decade it is. Pete and John have very
similar snarls on their face, both kind of English pasty mean and "I feel like I am
going to puke I am so angry" kinds of looks.
Second is Who by Numbers, because John did it, and John is awesome.
A neighbor of mine used to comb garage sales for Who Albums for me. I would
never do the dot to dot on the Who by Numbers album covers, but, is their
anyone that will admit to doing that dot to dot?
Jo <who will be going to see half the Who, no matter what, and will share my
personal triumph with them, even though they won't know it>
