Cover to cover.
The top 20 album covers list in a previous post makes us long for an album cover database that collects and codifies homages through the ages, the central example for which is:
this and this.
So:
Sonny Rollins begets Joe Jackson.
Kinks become Sleater-Kinney.
And on it goes.
Shouldn't there be --- is there? --- a book devoted to this alternate history of influence? Or a web site at least. For starters we found this Barbelith thread, which isn't bad [Pat Cooper -- A-list, baby!]. Reid Miles, the main main behind Blue Note's unmistakably graphic look, is alone is responsible for a ridiculous number of design ripoffs. And we mean that in a good way.
