Cancer Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Taking this to some extremes... In the Year 2525 by Zager & Evans It Was a Very Good Year, (perhaps better known by its opening line, "When I was seventeen") performed by many artists, perhaps most famously by Frank Sinatra Where Have All the Flowers Gone, initially written by Pete Seeger.

Bazza Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 So it is likely Monday in America, Tuesday here, particularly Melbourne Cup day, "the race that stops a nation". So 3 songs about horses and horse races. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Posted November 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 Yesterday on the Book of Face, I saw a patently absurd article on the most iconic album covers of all time. I think we could do better than that. So this week's topic: Top Three Iconic Album Covers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Posted November 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 One thing I found objectionable about the original list: They limited it to one album per artist, and their selection for the Beatles was Revolver. Really? I think all of the following are better options for the Beatles: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 Hmm. I think Yes's Fragile belongs among them, if only for Roger Dean. Have to think about others. Album covers are kind of a dead art now, really. EDIT: [img=https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/48/Fragile.jpg] Pariah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rails Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 I'm not sure if I'd call "iconic" cover art, but how about this one from Dream Theater? The album was originally released 11-Sep-2001, was recalled immediately and reissued with modified artwork. Pariah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazza Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 No. They are an Australian band like AC/DC however unlike Acca Dacca could play multiple styles, reggae, rockibility, pop rock, country rock, blues, R&B, and soul (if Georgia on My Mind counts as soul).
