The current image by itself relies on people recognizing Jim Morrison of The Doors well enough to tell he's not there. I think it can be modified to include L.A. Woman, released just six months before Other Voices, to make it clearer that the band used to have a fourth member, while the title of Other Voices already indicates that the missing member was the singer.

I strongly prefer the current. As someone who knows nothing about The Doors, the obvious gap in the line-up and the title "Other Voices" make it clear that the lead singer is missing. I don't like babying the reader.

[up] Agreed; I can understand what the current is trying to convey, even if it’s a bit subtle.

[up][up] I mean I don't know them but I prefer OP because showing "the face" better highlights the absence.

Agreed with #6; I think current makes the point clear and it's much funnier without a "before" image.

Guys, if we're going to add a Doors album as a "before", I don't know why we wouldn't use the self-titled since it A) literally has Jim Morrison's giant face taking up the left and B) it makes the text go from "The Doors" to "The Doors: Other Voices", which I think is kinda funny in context.

13[tup]. While I don't think the Current pic doesn't work, I do like this better for literally showing Morrison looming large over the band and them trying to stand on their own without him (and kinda failing). Although LA Woman and Other Voices were released closer to each other, I think 13/The Self Titled better shows off that Morrison was The Face.

I agree that 13 is the most clear.

[tup] to 13, but I’m also fine with current given what Murloc said.
