PIC POST--your favorite rock n roll images here

[leftofthedial]

and maybe a word or two about the image and why you like it.

Being one of the resident old fogies, I'll go way back and start with one of my favorites





So come back Woody Guthrie
Come back to us now
Tear your eyes from paradise
And rise again somehow
If you run into Jesus
Maybe he can help you out
Come back Woody Guthrie to us now

[Starbucks Anarchist]

1. London Calling:

[ForrestGump]

2. Inspired by...

[Starbucks Anarchist]

3. I knew you'd bring that up.

:D

Although the pic on the Clash album is better, IMHO.

[leftofthedial]

8. that is truly great, both of you!

:thumbsup:

[maveric]

4. Joni and Graham Nash.

[babylonsister]

5. Here's one of my first albums, along with Hair:

And yes, I'm aging myself! I could hardly understand many of Janis' lyrics, but I thought she rocked!

[dolo amber]

6. Richard Lloyd of Television, in the hospital after a drug overdose:

[leftofthedial]

37. that's drugs and rock and roll alright

but what about the sex . . .

great pic

[mitchum]

45. He was such a pretty young man, but now he looks like Clint and Ron...

Howard's long lost brother. Pity.

[mr blur]

69. But Richard is, nevertheless,

probably one of the top 5 electric rock guitar players in the world.

[Magrittes Pipe]

77. Says the guy with the Television avatar.

I mean, you're right, of course. But still. :P

[mitchum]

85. I'm in complete agreement with you

[no name no slogan]

7. The Stooges

Cover shot from their self-titled 1969 debut album.

No way to explain it. You either got "Funhouse", or you didn't.

[mitchum]

47. The gatefold pic from "Funhouse" possibly edges out even that shot

sorry, but I don't have a scan at hand

[no name no slogan]

58. I've got the Rhino "Funhouse Sessions" CD box

they released a few years back. It has a fold-out of the gatefold and a couple other band photos from the session. Very cool pick.

And the box is pretty cool, too. Probably overkill for most people, but it's still a lot of fun to listen to 30+ takes of "Loose", and hear the song evolve into the take they used on the record.

:thumbsup:

[Magrittes Pipe]

59. I also have the "Fun House" box.

It is probably the single most dorky/obsessive thing I own.

[no name no slogan]

60. You? Dorky/Obsessive?

for some reason I find that hard to believe
:rofl:

[Magrittes Pipe]

61. I thought there were only 28 takes of "Loose."

Did I miss a couple?

I like the Stooges.

[no name no slogan]

63. I think you're right.

I haven't seen mine since I moved into my new place last August. I'll have to dig it out and play it this weekend. It'll be a Stooge fest.

The Stooges are one of my favorites of all time. The first two records are pure gold, IMHO. :thumbsup:

[mitchum]

84. Don't be hating on James Williamson...

:)
I know that mine is a heretical position, but my favorite Stooges guitarplaying is his work on "Raw Power" He just has such a sensual and drug-soaked style.

[mitchum]

86. How about that harpsichord version of "TV Eye" on the ltd ed set?

PSYCH! :)

[fishwax]

9. Dylan--the pic on the cover of the Scorsese biopic

I'm both a fan of dylan and i study road imagery in popular culture, so this photo works on a couple of levels for me.

[Gatchaman]

10. Rock and Roll

[leftofthedial]

39. rawk!!

:headbang:

[GalleryGod]

11. A Free Concert in Golden Gate Park (Summer of '67)

Jefferson Airplane with Lady Grace booming out the vocals.
Seems like yesterday...

[EstimatedProphet]

27. I'm jealous

[leftofthedial]

40. that was the stuff wet dreams were made of

in some people's adolescence . . .

[Magrittes Pipe]

12. Caught with the Meat in Your Mouth:

[Spider Jerusalem]

13. This one:

[leftofthedial]

41. huh?

[Spider Jerusalem]

42. Shows up fine for me...

[leftofthedial]

48. image not available circle slash icon

[leftofthedial]

70. total classic

I almost posted that one instead of Woody

[enigmatic]

75. That one is an all-time classic

Man, I miss Johnny Cash..

[RetroLounge]

14. Altamont

Dead 18 yr old and rolling stones with Hells Angels...

RL

[livetohike]

15. Hendrix at Woodstock

What's not to like :-)?

[Ava]

16. oops

wrong thread

[Tikki]

17. This Minutemen photo is ....

inspirational to me...




...so is this Bobby Fuller picture....




Tikki

[leftofthedial]

31. great pic of Bobby Fuller

[realisticphish]

18. There's already

a pic of Jimi, but c'mon, we have to have THIS one...

[Fenris]

19. The late, great

[Magrittes Pipe]

23. The fuck?

I didn't know until this moment that Link had died. :cry:

[Fenris]

26. How the hell did you miss that?

Yeah, been gone for a bit...:(

[Magrittes Pipe]

29. I found swag's thread from November.

I was working so much then... I just missed it. :(

[Fenris]

34. Sorry man...I thought you caught that...

I had just hipped my dad to his Swan stuff, too. I was surprised to find out that he actually owned the two records Link did with Robert Gordon and really loved them. Go figure.

[RandomKoolzip]

20. Kevin from The Wrens, jumping:

Also:

The Move destroying TVs on stage, 1967

[GOPisEvil]

22. When does Kevin not jump?

[RandomKoolzip]

53. Wow...you're right....

I just realized I've never seen a pic of Kevin where he's not at least semi-airborne.

The other thing I love about that pic is who cheap and decrepit their gear looks; you can tell just from that pic how real The Wrens are.

[FarLeftRage]

21. One word for all: Anarchy! !

[Sugar Smack]

67. I LOVE IT!!!!

:D

[tuvor]

24. Here's a couple.

[ghostsofgiants]

28. Hahaha, that last one...

Wasn't that from a Fark photoshop contest? Brilliant.

[tuvor]

32. I'm not sure, but

I thought it had some Dead Kennedys connection.

[ghostsofgiants]

36. I think it was from a Fark Photoshop contest...

I vaguely remember seeing it on there. In any event, it's awesome.

[Sequoia]

64. I didn't know Lee Harvey Oswald rocked!

I saw that as a kid and sure don't remember any musical stuff going on except for a BANG !

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

25. I wish I could have seen them both on a good night and a bad night.

[Dukkha]

30. my favorite pic

edit: Here it is

[leftofthedial]

33. link took me to a login page

:shrug:

[Dukkha]

35. oh never mind then

:-(

It's a pic of The Beatles on Sullivan taken from behind facing the crowd and photographers during the commercial break just before they went on. When I'm home I'll repost

[leftofthedial]

38. cool!

can't wait to see it again.

[leftofthedial]

49. way cool!

I had not seen that one.

[swag]

43. Always loved Pat Graham's iconic shot of Bikini Kill

[Sugar Smack]

62. .

[swag]

65. Are you trying to start another Love/Hanna fistfight?

[Sugar Smack]

76. Who, me? I'm a pacifist.

But, yeah, I am.

[Botany]

44. Morrison Hotel

[mitchum]

46. That is a great shot because they really don't look like pop stars...

in that photo. They honestly do look like lowlifes who would hang out in the place. Okay, maybe Manzarek looks a little like a slumming schoolteacher, but the other three really have that down and out vibe.

[ghostsofgiants]

50. Joe Strummer by Viliam Hrubovcak

[catbert836]

51. Jim Morrison as Jesus

[borlis]

72. Jim Morrison was soooooo hot!!

I used to have this poster hanging in my room. :loveya::loveya:

[gkdmaths]

52. Bad Livers

Doin the Old Folks Shuffle!



and any backstage show with casey neil at the Capitol in Oly.

[leftofthedial]

54. I love the Bad Livers

[gkdmaths]

55. hey! I thought I was the only one!

nothing like a tuba, banjo and a wildly baying bassethound to make a great album. Well, that and a song about being up shit creek.

rock on!

[leftofthedial]

56. psycho hillbilly klezmer gets me every time.

[electricmonk]

57. A few from my personal collection

Since my favorite hobby is rock and roll photography I'll post some of my own shots.

Henry Rollins at Twisters in Richmond Va. about 1990 or 91.


Local band The Noisehood from 1997 or 98.


The Circle Jerks at the Superbowl of Hardcore in DC 2002.


Fugazi at Twisters in Richmond, probably 1989 or 90. Yes my record keeping sucks. :dunce:


I have some better than these but I'm way behind on scanning stuff.

A couple not by me.

My favorite Joe Strummer shot by Bob Gruen.


And Nirvana by Charles Peterson.

[HughBeaumont]

66. Some -

The Specials



Neurosis and Mastodon

[LynneSin]

68. What an era of great music (and the best musical moment of the millennium)

Oh, and edit note:

Who still doesn't get goosebumps when they watch this performance of Pink Floyd at Live8 - their first time back together in like 20 years when Gilmour & Waters had a falling out. Only something as significant as world poverty could finally bring them together if only for 30 minutes and 4 songs.

[enigmatic]

71. Here's a few

Uncle Tupelo



Husker Du


And a picture of Mark Eitzel which I always thought he looked cool in:

[jpgray]

73. Bah

Any shot of Husker Du that doesn't feature the finest mustache in rock is worthless to me. :)

[enigmatic]

74. haha

Well, it was an early shot; you're right about the moustache, though:

[ghostsofgiants]

79. No, the finest mustache in rock belongs to Eugene Hutz of Gogol Bordello

Edit: They actually seem to be the exact sam mustache. But Hutz legitimate Eastern European claims to the mustache still give him the edge in my books.

[kwassa]

78. Woodstock '69

I am actually in this picture from Life Magazine

[atomic-fly]

80. ...

[Dolomite]

81. RIP Dee Dee

[kwassa]

82. well spent

[Orsino]

83. Pete Townshend

This one, or perhaps any of his "windmill" shots. He is rock 'n' roll.

[Wickerman]

87. late to the game

but, here is what I consider one of the iconic images of rock n roll:
