classic rock

Front cover: Marie Antoinette, Elisabeth Vigee-Lebrun, 1783
Back Cover: Anne Boleyn, Anonymous, 16th century
A Basket of Roses, Henri Fantin-Latour, 1890
Flaming June, Lord Frederic Leighton, 1895
Power, Corruption & Lies by New Order (1983) and Waltz Darling by the late Malcolm McLaren (1989) are favorite albums of mine, both visually and musically. The jury's still out on Nobody's Daughter by Hole (2010), but the cover art is genius. The inlay artwork contains the image of The Execution of Lady Jane Grey by Paul Delaroche (1834). It's no accident that they're all tragic queens - Courtney being the drama queen bee of them all.
