Since playing music is so much about being on the road, and since rock ‘n’ roll is so much about being reckless and young and fast, it’s no wonder that so many rock icons have been photographed and immortalized with their cars. Click through to see a roundup of 10 of our favorite photographs of famous musicians mugging alongside their rides.

Perhaps you should identify the cars as well (not just a few…)?
John Lennon’s psychedelic Rolls is a serious omission. I also remember an awesome picture of Marvin Gaye with a beautiful car.
nice ugg boots neil.
Half of the cars seem to be misidentified. Dylan was next to an Austin Princess limo of the period. Thats not a T-Bird in Strummer’s pic but appears to be a Brit car, a GM or Ford type, but 100% its not a T-Bird. Sonny and Cher seem to have modified Olds. I’d be very surprised if they were Mustangs.
Lennon’s psychedelic car was a Bentley.
The Who pose with a Bentley, 3.8 Jaguar and Lincoln Continental. Joan Jet has a Jaguar. Neil Young with an older Lincoln Continental.
Lots of mis-identifications. Anybody who can call Joe Strummer’s car a Thunderbird shouldn’t be trying to write about cars. And I agree about those abortions that Sonny & Cher are posing on — they’re some kind of GM stuff. Barris can do better than that anyway.
Yes, agree with what’s been said…I love the idea of this, but please do your research and get the cars right if the piece is…about cars…
