Was kinda thinking, after the Joan upthread, that it'd be cool to assemble a record collection entirely of 70s albums where the artist is in front of a blue sky background.

It's like the record company bussed all these artists to the mall have their pictures taken in front of that backdrop.

To Whom Who?

The track titles spell out 'music always brings goodness to us all, p.s. unless one has some other motive for its use.'

Got so close to "Cherry I'm Lloyd!"

Actually would be cool if the album title was "All You Have Is Your Soul" and it was a split release by Cher Lloyd and Sorry I'm Late...

I feel like the most horrible '70s-style album title in semi-recent memory is Modest Mouse's Good News For People Who Love Bad News

i always felt like this title, album art, everthing was something maybe aerosmith had had laying around for 30 years

I only realised after posting those that The Toast Of Christmas Past was released in 2013! Richard Digance, keeping the horrible 70s album title flame burning

Can't believe that no-one ever used it before (at least afaict), so I think if I ever made an album in the 70s, i would horribly title it Hot Dogs In Di's Car. Need to think about which terrible visual pun to go with for the cover art though.

re: that steve cropper, "Special Buy" would have been a good title for somebody as well.

Pretty much the best picture of Steve Cropper ever.

Even though this one's from 2000, I think the punny title matches the spirit of this thread.

A George Harrison cover: grainy old snapshot of a childhood trip to the beach, showing Little George standing proudly over a recently completed excavation in the sand. A painting of adult George holds the snapshot, grinning impishly out at us. I Buried Pail.

Were there any albums released in the 70s entitled "Phoning It In"?

'arry Goldman (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 9 September 2014 16:44 (nine years ago) link

Or "Will This Do?"
