Your Favorite Photographs of Musicians
 

This thread is for MB members to post their favorite photos of musicians.

I'll open the thread with one of my favorite photos of Dylan playing with a tire. It was taken in Greenwich Village in early 1964.

This is one of my all time favorites of Nick Drake...

Ric Ocasek, not a gorgeous man but I've always loved this photo of him.

And out of all the billions of gorgeous pictures of Paul McCartney, this one's my favorite:

And when it comes to one of the greater musical loves of my life, I'm torn between two very peculiar pictures of the lovely, small, and very feminine Marc Bolan:

(I literally spent at least 10 minutes looking for this picture - what am I doing with my life?)

and this may seem odd, but despite all the gorgeous photos of this insanely talented man, taken in the prime of his youth, this remains my most favorite picture of one of my greatest heroes, Russell Mael:

he took a fucking selfie with his ABBA nesting dolls, how could I not love it??

Kaoru Abe, this photo captures his persona and gives a short glimpse into the passion Abe approached music with. This was one of my former MB avatars.

And who could forget Jim Marshall's classic photo of Hendrix:

actual love of my life

Janis the wild child with one of her dogs. Janis was an animal lover and always kept three or four dogs, all of which were strays she adopted.

this photo actually brought tears to my eyes.

This is like the cutest picture of Elliott like ever.

One of my favorites of the Stones.

Syd Barrett was both photogenic and enigmatic, so he gets off to a good start. What I particularly like about these photos is how they place him in the sort of everyday scenarios out of which he crafted such strange magic:-

R-A-M-O-N-E-S!

Not gonna lie, as an old man, Don McLean doesn't look too shabby, though in his younger years, HOT DAMN...

http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/_/...090202_ssv.jpg

Folk singer Mimi Farina, her sister Joan Baez and a friend lend their support to people protesting against the draft:-

Talent, snappy hats, civil liberties, bare feet and double-entendres - getting all that in one poster was real value for money!

I love Karen as well! Thats a beautiful photo of her

Karen was such a stunning woman. It makes me sick to think that anyone could have ever looked at her, or written of her, and had anything to say that wasn't kind. To think that she ever viewed herself in a negative manner breaks my heart. She was so perfect in every way, but she couldn't see it in herself.

I know!! :(

There was nothing wrong with her!! Her story is very heartbreaking! I saw her movie last year and it was quite sad. She looks nice in the above photo too!

She was a beautiful girl that was EXTREMELY TALENTED my goodness. She had the voice of an angel and was a bad ass drum player. Karen Carpenter is legendary.

She is ridiculously underrated. I liked the John Lennon one too, niceee

I love this picture of Neil Young in his prime. He looks like a backwoods shaman.

^^Yeah, he looks wild. And animalistic.

A couple of my favorites of the lovely Ms. Slick.

I really like this seductive picture of Gracie with a cigarello. She was the kind of woman my mother warned me about.

Yea that is very true :(. I am not sure how accurate her bio was but I think the family was involved in the making of the movie.
