This is going to make Monty sick
but I actually have the London Calling picture (sans text) on my bedroom wall.

This doesn't sound quite so terrible apart from the fact that I used rasterbator (http://homokaasu.org/rasterbator/) to blow it up to about 10 A4 sheets by 20!! It's HUGE!

*shrugs* It is a good photo
(of someone trotting out the same stage act perfected by Townshend and Hendrix ten years earlier)

EDIT MUCH better without that AWFUL text, I grant you.

Haha
Fair enough smashing equipment is a bit cliché, especially now. But you can't just draw a line (especially in Rock and Roll) and say , nope, you just can't do THAT anymore. Where does it end? All the arts are, after all, varying degrees of plagiarism, and I'm not even sure that instance qualifies.

Furthermore, as I'm sure you're aware that text is, erm, homage to Elvis Presley's first effort, i.e. the first Rock and Roll album ever, London Calling was ahem, the last...

Either way an iconic image.

Your points are all very much valid.
