Re: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards

So the only positive quality a woman can posses is her attractiveness? The attitude in the "Horses" cover is what draws me to it, Smith's (lack of) attractiveness has no part in it. Of course not, but we're just talking here about "looking" at women on album covers. You're not g...

Re: 2014 Album Cover Poll - Results
The acclaim for the cover of Horses has nothing to do with Smith's looks. It's all in her attitude, the jacket slung over her shoulder. Horses is the precursor to the punk movement, and her style on the cover is a perfectly poignant example of the style. This isn't how women are supposed to dress o...
