I dig rock 'n roll music

Rate: 4 Flag

 

kitchen

 

I have a thing about my albums - I love them and still play them all the time. The atwork is special to me, and I've used them to decorate my home. The key is that I have to like both the artist, the album and the artwork - plus the arrangements have to work together.

So looking towards the kitchen, I've got a row of faces. Lene Lovitch, Donovan, Sinatra, Streisand, the Knack & Grace Jones. An eclectic group I think;)

In the bedroom I've taken over a whole wall. 

Top row: Beatles, Mamas & Papas, Hair, Iron Butterfly, Ramones, Bowie, Pink Floyd.
Middle: GoGos, Zeppelin, Partridge Family, Talking Heads, Queen, Elvis, Harry Belafonte.
Bottom: Monkees, Stones, Cars, 5th Dimension,  Elton John, Madonna & Sinatra.

So many good tunes to keep me humming.

It's a wonderful display. You have a lot to hum about. Eclectic indeed. May I offer Roxy Music? It seems to fit in between Queen and Elvis. Avalon would do it.

Rock on!
That makes an attractive decorating motif and definitely shows a wide spectrum of music. It's a tribute to the album designers how well their artwork holds together when seen from a distance as shown in the photos.
Hmm - I like earlier Roxy Music, I kind of lump the later stuff with XTC and Squeeze. I should do a wall with all my early 80s - Plastics, B52s, Split Enz, Trio, Art of Noise, Human Sexual Response, Waitresses...
We really lost something when the record album cover was miniaturized to fit into those little CD boxes. They really were Art, and your display just confirms it. You really do have a wonderfully eclectic collection. I like some of the juxtapositions, too: "Monkees, Stones" "GoGos, Zeppelin" "Queen, Elvis" ;)
I regret having missed this when you first put it up, Ms. D, but am glad to know more about you and your rock & roll spirit.

One of the early decorating moftifs we employed at my former danceclub used both album covers and 33 1/3 rpm records placed strategically on the walls behind the bar and over the dj booth.

Between your albums and your Elvis kitch, it must be really fun to party at your pad! And please don't take that as an interest on my part in purely superficial things; I know the rock & roll spirit of Princess Dorella is what holds it all together.
