Não são poucos os lugares que ficaram famosos só porque estamparam capas de grandes discos do rock.
A faixa de segurança sobre a Abbey Road, por exemplo, talvez não fosse um dos lugares mais visitados de Londres se os Beatles não tivessem sido fotografados ali, em 1969. A gente pode falar o mesmo sobre o conjunto residencial localizado no St Mark’s Place, em Nova York, que foi a imagem da capa de “Physical Graffiti”, um dos discos mais célebres do Led Zeppelin.
E se uma “excursão de capas” pela Europa e pelos Estados Unidos não anda sendo a viagem mais acessível do momento, o jornal britânico The Guardian teve a belíssima ideia de encaixar as capas nos seus respectivos lugares, pelo Google Street View. A gente compilou tudo aqui embaixo:
