Calling all aesthetes and artistes... Note to trigger-happy mods  : this thread in no way discusses music, it's all about visual art.  :
From backstreets.com: Since Bruce Springsteen first appeared on the cover of Cleveland's music magazine Scene on Jan. 24, 1974, commercial magazines from New Jersey to Sydney, Australia have put Bruce out front more than 750 times (and that's not even counting the "fanzines" like Backstreets). Now, the Friends of the Bruce Springsteen Special Collection are looking for the fan-favorites. After their painstaking worknarrowing it down to 50 finalists, an international list of great covers from the Collection is up for election -- and you're invited to help select the 25 all-time faves. The choices are tough, but to ease the pain, you can vote for as many as ten. Voting is now underway:
http://www.friendsofthesp...overs1.htm They have chosen a lot of ugly-ass covers, but I'm curious to see which you think are the nicest. Please list the numbers here and (if you can), post the pics. |

That's fine, but can't you look at it from a purely visual art perspective? |

I like this one (which is not on their list) because it is such an interesting portrait of his face (and I like the minimalism of it):  |

Of their picks, I like these the best (not necessarily my favourite photos from these covers, but overall design):

If you read the interview (one of my favourites), you'd see he has some very profound things on his mind.  |

The magazine crop and layout are nicer. The focus is on his guitar in this shot as, by this point, that Telecaster/Esquire had acquired a very iconic association with the man (it had first appeared on the cover of Born to Run in 1975 and he has almost exclusively played guitars that looked like this since). This album was released in 1992. I believe this is an Annie Leibovitz shot, as are these:
