This week's edition of the Only Three Lads podcast is a salute to the iconic images of alternative rock, as O3L hosts Brett Vargo and Uncle Gregg welcome journalist and photographer Michael Goldberg. The discussion ties in with Goldberg's newest book Jukebox: Photographs 1967-2023 (published by HoZac Books).
For this episode of O3L, Brett, Gregg, and Michael each picked their top five iconic images from the classic alternative era, 1970-1999. For this blog post, I'm just wailin' with a few of my own favorite images in that category. I'm not researching anything, so these are the pictures my mind calls forth on its own when I think of classic alternative pictures. As I write this paragraph, I haven't grabbed the images yet, but I betcha I wind up sticking mostly with '70s and maybe a little '80s. The '90s should feel free to start its own blog. I do know I have a little bit of crossover with O3L's choices; let's see what other trouble we can stir up.
POSTSCRIPT: ALL '70s, as it turns out.
And I'm done talking. From this point on, the pictures tell our story for today.
