Who knew that an empty plate, a bowler hat, and a naked twenty-year-old could rewrite Thanksgiving in America? Arlo Guthrie’s Alice’s Restaurant cover looks like a joke—and it is—but it’s also a generational x-ray: Rockwell’s perfect turkey meets a counterculture kid staring down a nonsensical war, a hilarious arrest record, and a country arguing at its own dinner table. This is the album where a simple holiday meal became a cultural fork in the road. Grab a copy and listen along with us.

A teddy bear with a spyglass, a frog in oversized shoes, and an attic full of secrets—on this cover Aerosmith turns childhood whimsy into absolute creepy. From cocaine-fueled brainstorms at the Riot House to Ingrid Haenke’s uncanny illustrations, this story brings you chaos, creativity, and a toy chest you may not want to open.

A Belgian nun with a guitar, a convent storybook that was mostly fiction, and a song so pure it pushed Elvis and Motown off the charts—until four lads from Liverpool showed up. Dominique made Sister Smile an unlikely global star, but the story behind the album cover and her life after fame is anything but simple. Grab a copy and listen along with us.
