The Mysterious Orb of 70's Rock

Journey-Look to the Future, c. 1974




Fleetwood Mac-Fleetwood Mac, c. 1975




What gives? Is the orb some secret drug (coke) or sex reference? There is that drug-like orb in Woody Allen's "Sleeper," but I don't think that's it. I don't get it.

...and then there's that electronica outfit from the 90s called The Orb. I just think there's something vaguely mystical about an orb, so these 70s neo-pagan idoloters like Journey and Mac thought it would be cool on their album covers.

They're not the only ones who think it's cool...

Actually, they probably are the only ones.
