I have decided that this is the most 70s album cover of the 70s

Not only is the design 70s, but it has the 70s in the image. Plus this album is pretty much synonymous with the 70s, since most of its songs are ingrained in 70s youth culture.

Post the album covers that most describe and/or elucidate a given decade.

I have no idea what Virgin Killer is, but thanks, yes

that does look pretty 80s

however it doesn't really capture the decade, imo

What about decades that aren't in the 20th Century?

If Alexander the Great or Pliny had albums, I'm all about it, but I doubt they had kickass cover images

Now this is something I'm really interested in. I was listening to these guys in the 2000s, but I don't have the perspective to know if they are decade-defining. I will assume they are. Thank you.

I will sodomize you and face-gently caress you,
bottom Aurelius and catamite Furius,
you who think, because my poems
are sensitive, that I have no shame.
For it's proper for a devoted poet to be moral
himself, [but] in no way is it necessary for his poems.
In point of fact, these have wit and charm,
if they are sensitive and a little shameless,
and can arouse an itch,
and I don't mean in boys, but in those hairy old men
who can't get it up.
Because you've read my countless kisses,
you think less of me as a man?
I will sodomize you and face-gently caress you.

thanks for the crap lyrics

I've always loved the look on the middle guy's face. I like to think that it's a sort of meta thing, where they're dressed in demeaning costumes but at least they get to kill the obnoxious woman who made them do it for her album cover. But the middle guy is lost in a sea of happy thoughts about seeing that woman dead. Apparently Anna Russell's main act was to sing Gilbert and Sullivan parodies, so I don't blame him.

As funny as Anna Russell was, I'm sure she was well in on the joke.

yes, and to be really controversial I'm going to present this as the most decade cover of the 1940s

Double points for being such an incredibly terrible song

Instead of "terrible" I think you meant "awesome" or possibly "incredible", as that was one of the best songs of the 80s. Also I have never seen the single cover, so thanks for that.

Here's a very 60s album cover, not the most 60s, but definitely part of it
