5. Alice Cooper, ‘Love It to Death’ (1971)
Alice Cooper (the band and the singer) broke through with their third album, featuring “I’m Eighteen.” But they got flak for a juvenile stunt in the album photo: Cooper wrapped his cape around him and poked his right thumb out, making it look to a casual viewer like his schlong was hanging out. For his trouble, he had his entire right arm airbrushed out.
6. David Bowie, ‘Diamond Dogs’ (1974)
On the front cover, Bowie just looked freaky — it turned out to be half of a gatefold image by Belgian painter Guy Peellaert, and the back cover revealed that Bowie had the body of a dog, complete with a prominent penis. Those hindquarters were quickly gelded, with some airbrushing rendering Bowie’s canine groin smooth and blank.
