Horrible 70s album titles like I've Got My Own Album To Do

Then there's this somewhat NSFW cover from Jo Jo Gunne: http://sinistersaladmusikal.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/100_6836.jpg

though maybe that should've gone on the Yawnsomely Literal thread

I wonder what the thought process was behind that JJ Gunne cover art

Even though it is from '69, I'd think Colosseum's 'Those Who Are About to Die Salute You' might fit in here but then it may have also inspired AC/DC's "For Those About to Rock, We Salute You."

In the spirit of this thread, friend on facebook just suggested a band called Hot Lasagna, and I named the third album "A Third Helping of Hot Lasagna"

Wet Willie is a veritable goldmine for this thread

ok gonna listen to the best of wet willie on spotify now, will report back

hahah i just made the same decision, they've showed up the most times in this thread of a band where i actually have no clue what they sound like

dude does a pretty good van morrison impression, i'll give them that!

Keep On Smilin is a nice sunshiney AM Gold kinda tune I had never heard. I guess that's their hit?

Airport: a likeable enough whiteboy swamp funk jam. Nothing objectionable about this band really.

They pretty much sound like their album covers. Just a few good ole boys havin a good ole time.

But which one's Willie?!

Haaaa, totally.

oh man that's got everything...though that's an 80s record...still allowed/aloud...man that is killer

btw is anyone else kind of getting stockholm syndrome on album titles like this where i'm starting to think all albums should be by law required to have titles like this?

These kind of titles are truly post-psychedelic imo, like where do we go from here, we're all coked up let's make puns about sandwiches.

at least on some of these there's something to look at apart from the horrible pun -- 'no fun aloud' is like

can't not love the overreach. <3 <3 <3 hipgnosis/storm thorgerson

nice juxtaposition of lit cigar and petrol/gasoline line

or that ishttp://ring.cdandlp.com/french-connection-records/photo_grande/115260783.jpg
so just as well it wasn't real

or is that made safe once the flow of gas has been stopped?

Wow that might be the greatest example of this thread

Dude the liner notes on that Glenn Frey album are even better. Trust me.

PIcked up Keith Richards' autobiography in a bargain bin last weekend, and have just recently learned that he thought I've Got My Own Album To Do was a great title.

From the Glenn Frey insert (hard to read, but worth it):

this one i saw in a used record store and thought it was a classic of this genre:

Hopefully, you all know that you can't party all the time, but when you do, play this song. By the way, you got any?

not 70s but that Todd Terje album qualifies

Haha for sure

BOBBY WOMACK CHINESE SOUL LICKS.

Omg those Joe Perry ones are so shitty-looking.

The one where he's at a board meeting with the corporate suits is so classic for this thread

haha, yeah, that is so perfect. good level of "who cares about the cover" vs. "we actually spent a lot of time and money on this cover"

When I was in high school, the FM rock station in San Bernardino must have taken a big pile of payola to flog that Corporate Suit Joe Perry album. Heavy rotation for several months. "Let the music do the talking" indeed. The same bag of payola cocaine also paid for several months' heavy rotation of Blue Oyster Cult's Cultösaurus Erectus.

i feel like despite all the titles/covers cited in this thread, we are --at present-- in a golden age of terrible album titles. well, maybe it was more the 2000s.

i mean surely titles like this rule the roost, so to speak

But at least that U2 one is a lyric on the album.
