Borrowing this topic idea from another board...thought it would make for good discussion here.
What are some of your favorite group poses from their album covers?
For the Beatles, I've always been partial to this one:
In terms of the album cover overall, it's a bit bland and utilitarian (although many artists' album covers were up until the mid '60s, when cover design became more important.) But the photo itself is great, a very nice shot of all four of them. Some sources I've seen date it as having been taken in fall 1964.
The Beach Boys were not known for great cover designs, but I do love this particular shot:
One of very few covers to feature all six main band members, and they all look very cool and hip. The "stacked tracks" concept and the perspective the photo is shot from add to the visual interest. This shot dates from March 1968.
This is a nice shot of the group America:
Probably dates from early 1975. The guys appear very somber on their earlier albums, but look happier and more relaxed here. The Golden Gate Bridge in the background adds a nice touch.
