How Alex Turner Discovered His Genius - Chris McClure - THAT face of Arctic Monkeys Debut Album -

Arctic Monkeys' 2006 debut album remains one of the most iconic records in music history, with the kids from Sheffield first showing the world their trademark sound and unique lyrics. Not only did tracks such as 'Mardy Bum' and 'A Certain Romance' imprint themselves in hearts of a generation of music lovers, but 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not' had another element to it that would create a legacy of its own, the album cover.
