OLD SOCK VS. FORK IN THE ROAD: Which Album Cover Has The Most IDGAF Old Dude Swag

Neil wins on handwritten font alone

neil why because clapton looks like and is a gigantic prat

neil does have the most iconic handwriting...i wonder how many of his albums use that? a lot of them for sure

neil obv kills clapton on every level, and his cover's "oh hey i shot this with a shitty old nokia phone" is pretty IDGAF....that said...literally calling your album OLD SOCK is kind of incredible

the Clapton font is really really unforgiveable

also Clapton in general is really unforgiveable...

I always die a little inside whenever I have to bite my tongue about him around various relatives

also that Clapton is somehow managing to slightly peer DOWN in that photo is just FUCK OFF

the clapton looks like it was swiftly made with CorelDRAW v. 1.4

the neil looks like the hand-sharpied product of an unhinged mind you'd find in a salvation army five-for-a-buck pile

advantage: neil

I guess what Eric is trying to tell us is that he is an ass:

He is the worst.

someone should turn neil's handwriting into an actual font.

otm

old sock would be a good ilx user name

yeah clapton does look smug as fuck the more i look at it....neil's like all creepin' on u o_O

anyway i voted for neil cuz i would never not vote for neil in anything and certainly not in favor of clapton

otm x 1000

background presence of tropical vegetation ought to be infuriating to any right-minded person

that summer camp font, good god

if i'm being honest i may have made this thread just as an excuse to bitch about eric clapton yet again

it's a living

Trolled by Clapton!

Clapton's cover is way more swag. WAY MORE.

OLD SOCK.

woah chr1s i don't even know u anymore

though i guess the poll is about SWAG, and clapton's looking all pleased with himself, clearly on vacation on his estate on some island, so...

I'm only talking swag, Clapton's has swag, Neil's...not so much

he should have called it COCK SOCKET

Neil's photo looks like he press the photo button while he falling down.

Clapton is getting blown while rich guitar playing lawyers pay huge sums to tell him how cool his tones are

well, no he shouldn't, i just felt like writing that out

xp

He should have called it EASTER ISLAND

Actually the only way I'd ever respect Eric Clapton even a little bit is if he changes the name of this album to I'M AN ASSHOLE

neil - "I wash born here, an I wash raished here, and dad gum it, I am gonna die here, an no sidewindin' bushwackin', hornswagglin' cracker croaker is gonna rouin me bishen cutter."

eric - "this pic was taken on the beach by our summer home in hawaii. not pictured, beach and home obv! :P"

Neil - Yr weird deadbeat uncle trying to figure out how a polaroid camera works
Clapton - VP of yr office on a weekend vacation

do the math

or what al said

neil looks like he got too close to the camera after setting the timer and then just said fuck it and used the photo anyway
clapton looks like the kind of disgusting old men my former roommate used to sleep with

advantage: neil

Love Neil, don't care for Clapton but gotta vote for the latter cause Neil's artwork here feels far more affectedly shitty. Clapton's is just a lapse in taste.

Which is to say, lazy enough to be TRULY IDGAF

Clapton one reminds me of
http://www.manrecordings.com/manrecorder/wp-content/uploads2/2010/11/caetano-veloso_araca-azul1.jpg

Interestingly, Old Sock was originally titled Racist Fucking Piece of Shit.

all these arguments against clapton ironically add to the evidence that he gives less of a fuck. young's cover is somewhat calculated while clapton is effortlessly and repulsively lame.

chilli & chr1s are winning me over i think

To be fair I am peppering yr work email with supporting claims.

We've already put in twice the work the Shakey or Slow-Hand put into their respective album covers

DON'T LISTEN TO THEM m@tt

Clapton's effortlessly says Hi I'm a Right Bloody C--t and whether he did it on purpose or not he's still Eric Clapton therefore he loses

aka the Don Henley equation

it's really the 'swag' part of the equation, being a cunt is often an important part of swag

OTM OTM OTM OTM

Also we all need to step back and think on one thing:

Eric Clapton has a new album. That album is called OLD SOCK. OLD SOCK! SERIOUSLY

This is new?! I had just figured that it was some forgotten thing from the 90s or the 00s.

It comes out next week!

OLD SOCK!!!

Clapton GIVES A FUCK that's why he's a cunt his whole persona is this fake laid back slowhand bullshit and it's a LIE

point:

IT'S THE NAME OF HIS YACHT

hahahahaha for real?

the hell?

Holding Cramps vinyl = trying too hard

more like peter suck

Buck's going for this 70 year old lifer thing and im like, yeah, you could be doing something better than this. Even down to the forgettable garage rock stuff.

Lolll

haha

this is a great poll

I can't tell if that is an actual album cover or a meme, which is probably the point, good work Elton.

Still

OLD SOCK!

Engineer:"Well, Eric I just love the mix, think everything is sounding great...say what are you going call this one?"
Clapton: "Old Sock"
Engineer: "...huh."

Has there been a "pointless" round for "Neil Young Albums" ?

(I know there's been a "songs on Leonard Cohen's Greatest Hits" round)

For a sec I thought that Clapton painting was signed by Peter Buck

old sockeye

was reading that expecting "lands-the-biggest-salmon-of-his-career," or perhaps "biggest-salmon-since-blood-on-the-tracks"

that is one really big fucking fish tho

type of fish that needs a fisherman with a slowhand, a fisherman with a gentle touch

trying too hard imo

You think!? It's completely unnatural and unconvincing.

Is this a genre?

it's a great cover, I just find the whole setting with the bike a bit trying to hard - if Cliff truly dngaf he would've been in his kitchen or smth

Old Dude Swag levels are off the charts though

This thread is about idgaf swag complete opposite

not nearly enough old dude swag to pull that off imo

kinda cool/amazing that jim kweskin is still releasing albums though

also amazing that Mel Lyman's cult/commune is still going strong 50+ years after its inception (albeit with less murder and mayhem these days). afaik Kweskin still makes a living with the construction company that grew out of it

Dave Gilmour's Spotify pic

https://i.scdn.co/image/e0f9457be19be371905ea704c9fa67614e00fe82

that pic exudes "figured out how to live" energy (the piles of money helped with that I'm sure)

but the eyes say "syd knows i betrayed the true psych vibes"

I wonder if he calls that guitar, "Precious".

ehhh

The cover photo to the new Graham Nash album looks like it was taken during a court-mandated wellness check.
