Has any other Band besides U2, have been on the cover of Time magazine?

[tiny dancer]

I get Time magazine every week I was thinking the other day if any other bands have graced the cover of Time, besides U2 and Bono? Maybe the Beatles or The Boss?

A live shot of Eddie Vedder made the cover in 1993 (I think, my memory could be playing tricks on me).. I think Bob Dylan was on the cover of times magazine too.

Bruce has been twice: once in August of last year, and in October of 1975 he was on the cover of Time and Newsweek in the same week.

I think Nine Inch Nails was at some point... trying to remember

I don't think being on the cover of Time is as big a deal now, as it was when U2 were.

Case and point- both Ricky Martin and Nelly Furtado have graced the cover in recent years.

Ultraviolet stole my answer.

 

[U2ME3]

Since 1985-

 

[Ultraviolet Light]

David Byrne, October 1986:

Before 1985:
Duke Ellington - August 1956
The Band - January 1970
Cher - March 1975
Elton John - July 1975
The Beatles - Sept. 1967
Joni Mitchell - December 1974
David Bowie - July 1983

I could have sworn Frank Sinatra was on a cover too, as well as Bob Dylan.

*edit*
The Who, 12/17/1979

And Thelonius Monk, February 1964:

"The avant-garde gains mainstream recognition as Thelonious Monk makes the cover of Time magazine, which christens him the high priest of bebop."

David Byrne, October 1986:

I KNEW EDDIE WAS ON THE COVER!! I JUST COULD NEVER FIND IT ON THE WEB! Thanks, now I know I am not crazy.

 

[womanfish]

what's interesting to note, is that while many of the more modern covers of time have included music artists, it really is a main article about a certain genre of music (ie. Pearl Jam = grunge/Seattle sound, Ricky Martin = Latin, Lauren Hill = hip hop) where U2's cover(s) have just been based on them.

 

[tiny dancer]

Wow. Thanks everbody!

 

[sue4u2]

You ALL make the world a better place, one key stroke at a time.
I'm stoked by your talents....

 

[verte76]

Wasn't the Who on the cover of TIME right after the Cincy disaster in 1979?

 

[cujo]

Yes the who... and the Beatles.

 

[Hewson]

There is also this saxophone player named William Jefferson Clinton who has graced the cover of Time once or twice

U2ME3 should be next in my book by golly
