During the glam rock heyday of the early 1970s, I routinely mortified
my parents by bringing home albums like David Bowie's Aladdin Sane,
Lou Reed's Transformer, The Rolling Stones' Goats Head Soup, the first
New York Dolls LP and Edgar Winter's They Only Come Out at Night.

It wasn't the music that galled the folks, although played at properly
excessive volume it certainly could. It was the album art: each
figured the faces of young men flagrantly decorated in makeup and
teasingly begging the question that had been hollered across the
generation gap since Elvis first swivelled around in black eyeliner:
"What is that? Boy or girl?"
