The earliest example in my collection of this cover is Scott Walker's Scott 3 album, released in 1969:
In 1990, The La's released their self-titled (and only) album, with a very similar cover:
Finally, just last year, Rufus Wainwright released All Days are Nights, this album's cover, too, had a oft-featured theme:
All four covers are striking. It's better than a photo of the lead singer holding a guitar and at least MMJ's is a little different, but no else is allowed to this anymore (since I have so much say here), I'm putting my foot down.
