X-Ray Spex: Germ Free Adolescents (1979) From a band said to "emphasize the lighter side of UK punk," this album is fun but by no means lightweight. Trevor Key is credited with this cover image, inspired by the title track. "The cover was thought up by a design company in Covent Garden," recalls founder and lead singer Poly Styrene. "I wasn't very well at the photo shoot and I don't really like my photo. The rest of the band looks great." Aw, Poly, you look great too. -- JH
