All those Day-Glo freaks who used to paint the face
They've joined the human race
Some things will never change

It occurred to me that the cover of Steely Dan's The Royal Scam is kind of reminiscent of a @2600 magazine cover.

The cover of Steely Dan's 1976 album entitled The Royal Scam, labeled as such in the top left of the picture.  At the bottom is a man laying asleep on a bench, which fades into an illustration of skyscrapers against a stormy sky topped with the heads of various snarling creatures.

#AlbumForToday: #SteelyDan#TheRoyalScam (1976). In certain ways this hitless LP is Dan’s most accomplished. “Kid Charlemagne,” “Don’t Take Me Alive,” and “Sign in Stranger” have a shadowy-side-of-the-avenue vibe to offset the fastidiousness of the production. “The Fez,” a thinly veiled ode to the condom, adds a touch of levity. Finest of all is the slow-burning finale, an empathetic cry for the plight of San Juan immigrants—a rare protest from the Steely Dan camp.

Controversial! Can't Buy A Thrill at number one. Usually scores that spot but for me is always their pinnacle. But it *was* my first album. Bought it in #1977. Seemed an epic year
