    (This is an idea I've had for a thread for a long time and I've done a number of searches and not found anything similar...)

    I am interested in seeing album covers featuring photographs of people smiling. I got the idea when I began noticing that, across pretty much all genres, the smile seems to be a less popular pose for an album cover. People seem to prefer to look tough/serious/sexy/contemplative/strong/etc. I happen to love smiling faces on album covers. They just light up and stand out to me, and this is magnified by their relative rarity.

    Please post examples of album covers (any genre!) with SMILES. :)
    I just ask two things:
    (1) Please include covers that include photographs, not illustrations.
    (2) Please label your photos.

    I'll kick things off with a few examples:

    Whitney Houston, Whitney (1987)
    [​IMG]

    Allman Brothers Band, At Fillmore East (1971)
    [​IMG]

    Leonard Cohen, Songs of Love and Hate (1971)

    And you? :D

    Not exactly ear to ear, but still.

    And the album sure makes me smile.

    For saying Olivia was famous for her big grin, the majority of her albums don’t feature her smiling on the cover.
