whatever

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

Or "Will This Do?"

oh my god

Best thing about that to me is the incredibly lazily tacked on "2 Bonus Tracks" from the CD version.

that is really a first-class example

Surely there's room here for some Be-bop Deluxe...

And of course, the glorious Car Over The Lake album by the Ozark Mountain Daredevils

kind of curious what an Aynsley Dunbar album sounds like, although I don't have high hopes. He's a pretty sick drummer though...

I dunno, Axe Victim doesn't seem that relevant to this thread. Aren't we talking about banal album titles? If we're getting into a list of dodgy 70s album covers (for which Axe Victim arguably qualifies), I can offer a truckload of progressive rock albums.

Axe Victim here as "visual pun on dad joke," surely?

It's a pity the Ozark album is spelled out, we should refer to The Car Over The Lake album like we do The Black Album, White Album etc

No thread on the Car Over The Lake album, surely some mistake

wow car over the lake that's incredible

piggybacking on the 70s bands releasing later albums with cringe-inducing internet references, i dunno, may be OT but i lol'd

sorry :/

God that's so bad. I totally support the proposed dot com albums thread.

(But would be okay with it also just being the all-purpose lol90s album title thread)

what's the crap on the sides of that album supposed to read??

dying laughing at the car over the lake album

Car Over the Lake album is awesome

Can you dig the Car Over The Lake album sleeve? I knew that you could...

the one guy can't figure out how to do the hand goggles thing! new favorite band

j-tull.com is a double winner for terrible album titles and awful album covers. Also I once gave it a taste at one of those tower records listening stations and I have a clear memory of it being equally dreadful.

"If I Only Knew" is a tite cut from that lp

dot com albums

got a personal favourite of these, a "melodic rock band" from Wales

feel like these dot com ones aren't really in the spirit of this thread

that Aynsley Dunbar one kind of wins this thread

the Magic! - Don't Kill the Magic one sucks because the cover is just their band logo instead of the lead singer dressed up as a magician in a tuxedo holding a top hat & a rabbit standing up on the gallows w/a noose around is neck and the whole crowd cheering him on while the hangman is all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I see now one of those is in the first segment of the thread.

the aynsley dunbar cover up there reminded me of the existence of this monstrosity:

w/o the text the Aynsley Dunbar one would be an intriguing image, which is much more than can be said for most of these monstrosities

Fumble, "Poetry in Lotion"

http://www.recordsale.de/cdpix/f/fumble-poetry_in_lotion.jpg

"Fumble" indeed

Some of these I would love to have heard the thought process & meetings behind these covers/titles

Feel like a certain percentage of these are artifacts of a different era of record contracts, where any pop-rock act could get four or five LPs records out of one moderately successful single early on, and then by record four or five it's clear nobody gives a fuck about this has-been, and they'll just slap whatever together. Also drugs were probably involved somehow.

Also what are the roots of this... We're Only In It For The Money by Zappa/Mothers? Thigh no visual pun on the art
