"Message for Pete Townsend: The 1980s called. They want their crappy graphic art back."

Here’s the cover art for the upcoming album by The Who (their first studio album since 1982), Endless Wire:

Yeeeeugggh.

The best response to this cover that I’m aware of was made by a guy on a private discussion forum who said: “I’m Kent Brockman, and this is ‘Eye on Springfield’.”

  • I guess The Who have never heard of Gordon Lightfoot and his Endless Wire album. Christ knows Gord's picture on the cover was even easier on the senses than that one.

  • I'm 53, a grandfather and happen to be in Des Moines on business where I saw The Who play 20 years ago. I think I should try and see you chaps again. Want to get together for a beverage beforehand? Give me a call at 402-871-3144. Pranksters please don't call.
