The most iconic band T-shirts of all time

Band t-shirts don't get any more iconic than the ever-popular Ramones t-shirt, featuring the band's signature seal logo. This one was designed in the 70s by New York artist Arturo Vega - a true classic.

This is right up there with the Ramones' as an all-time classic. The image itself was selected by Joy Division drummer Stephen Morris, who saw it in the Cambridge Encyclopaedia of Astronomy. It depicts a stacked plot of radio signals from a pulsar - but you knew that, right?

Any teenager in the 90s who was a bit alternative owned one of these. The t-shirt was apparently created by Kurt Cobain himself, who loved to draw and paint and was always doodling. Like the Seattle band's classic Nevermind album, this t-shirt still sells by the truckload.

The iconic Stones t-shirt was inspired by Old Rubber Lips himself, Mr Mick Jagger. Designer John Pasche created the Lips logo t-shirt for the band in 1971, and it originally appeared on the Sticky Fingers album cover before going on to become one of the best-loved band t-shirts of them all

An 80s classic. This one was designed by leading fashion designer Katherine Hamnett and it became a huge seller after it was worn by George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley in the video for their 1984 chart-topper, Wake Me Up Before You Go Go.

So close is this one to the Wham! t-shirt (see above) that many people think this, too, was designed by Katherine Hamnett. It was actually the creation of Paul Morley, music journalist and co-founder of ZZT (Frankie Goes To Hollywood's record label). A shameless rip off though it may have been, it was still hugely popular.

The Who commissioned British artist Brian Pike to design what became their famous logo for a poster advertising a gig in London. They got their money's worth, that's for sure. The image was never featured on a studio album cover, but to this day is worn as a badge of honor by Mods everywhere.

A simple black t-shirt printed with Run DMC's logo in red and white, but an absolute must-have for any self-respecting hip-hop or old-school rap fan.

This one features the cover of Sonic Youth's 1990 album, Goo, and features an illustration by Raymond Pettibon based on a photograph of Maureen Hindley and David Smith, who were key witnesses in the 1966 trial of Moors Murderers Ian Brady and Myra Hindley.

Led Zep's 1977 tour was one of the most riotous in rock music history, with stories of hotels and restaurants being trashed by the hell-raising band. If you own an original one, you are cooler-than-thou. The rest of us can dream of what it must have been like to be there.
