The Guardian has put together an insightful collection of images created by overlaying album covers from times past onto current-day Google Street View locations of the places those album cover photographs were taken.

Everybody from The Beatles to Eminem make their way into the collection, and it’s quite interesting to see the contrast between when the photos were originally taken and what those spots look like now.
