"Daltry in the beans is kind of disgusting. Reminds me of this ridiculous British fetish magazine my old tour manager found on the road years ago, called Splosh!, which featured pictorials of office secretaries at their desks, dousing themselves with high volumes of food, all mishmashed into a culinary miasma."

"This was the first thing I thought of when I was asked to make this list. It’s a perfect album cover. It’s so blank. It says anything and nothing."

"This one is a given. The zipper is brilliant. The presence of kit and tackle is definitely felt. Sticky Fingers is my all-time favorite rock-album title as well."

"A few of their covers are almost interchangeable, almost the same photo. I love that. They’re so uniformly punk. I wonder if bands are afraid to look so uniform now. Today there’d be a chain-wallet punk, a baggy skater, a tatted-up goth, and a clean-cut gas-station-attendant indie rocker."

"Many bands attempt this retro graphic look, but Suede actually pulls it off. The heroin chic is a little obvious, but the solarized phantom figure with the disembodied grin rescues it, undermining the tragic fashion with a spontaneous dementia."

"This looks like a play on something cute the Monkees would have done. There was an L.A. band at the same time, called the Quick, who did a variation on this with bananas. Someone should complete the triptych."

"I remember being really disturbed by the eyeballs when I was a kid. Their faces looked like Kabuki masks: haunting and ugly. I love this sort of phantasmagoria, all the minutiae of detail and references. I’m a fan of Hieronymus Bosch, and this has a similar visual density."
