I used to hear yall joke about Rookie TimmyDigalots coppin records with Black Folk.

What are the common "oh this/they looks funky" symbols?

What are the top examples? Bad albums and good albums.

    I noticed recently just how many good records there are that sport a cover featuring wistful looking black dude sinking into a luxurious couch or perched with aplomb and nonchalance astride a bohemian-distressed Deco wooden chair, some foreground symbols of then-extant sophistication such as Art Books or marble ashtrays casually strewn across coffee tables and the like.

    Talmbout some Johnny Bristol sets form the mid 70s, Terry Callier, Tom Brock, Lou Courtney.

    Please for DB or someone to disect the zeitgeist of that time and reveal some deep inner truths about the Black Man's place in society post-Black Power blah blah blah

    Here's a rare example of the same trend in the 80s:
