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

It's an old joke about a guy who ends up in hell. He is submerged in shit up to his neck, after a while he starts thinking it's not so bad, then he hears a voice saying "breaks over" and he's suddenly standing on his head. Think there is a similar Bradbury story where it alternates between unbearably hot & cold?

Right, that explains the unpleasant sleeve design

... but does in no way excuse it.

'eads

i keep walking past the bus stop near where im staying and it says "both sides of the road" and it makes me think of this thread

so i looked on discogs and it listed no records called that, apart from one called corpses on both sides of the road, by some people called

Horrible 70s band names like endometrium cuntplow

Has this been mentioned yet, or is it too obvious?

lonely guy just thinking baout things

^ otm. I know we've moved on from the albums actually being horrible but nothing about that album is horrible!

Also in general I have grown to love these titles so much

every time this thread is bumped I think 'that must be all of them', but there seems to be an infinite number of these records

Jojo Gunne made a career of these: two of their other titles were Bite Down Hard and So...Where's The Show?.

xpost I really hope there's an infinite amount

But i will pretty much listen to any album released in the 1970s

This is basically one of these, right?

though really "Instant Karma" and "Mother" there kinda beg to be album covers on their own. "Cold Turkey" a sad missed opportunity.

Some 70s guys just didn't hit their stride until the 80s:

Gotta say these dudes seem spectacularly lucky to have scored a latter-day hit with "You Can Do Magic" - until I remembered that I was kind of baffled to imagine that someone actually greenlit four albums of America as a duo post-1980.

wow those are all great

That middle one reminded me of this...

seems like we've moved on to "head-shakingly literal record cover depictions of the title"...which is I guess a big part of the records on this thread so far.

lotta overlap, but basically "awkwardly conveys agreeable inessentiality" is my main criterion here.

absolutely

inessential

'Rise and Shine' by Kokomo seems to have an alternate cover as well?

Nazareth - Close Enough For Rock'N'Roll

"Rise and Shine," the train one, just gets better the more I look at it.

Fumble - Poetry In Lotion

banal phrase + vaguely 'clever', ironic representation of the above + ambience of good-natured frolicsome sauciness was the litmus test I was trying to apply

Bunk Dogger - First Offence

sorry, hammering the hipgnosis a bit here

nah, you're killing it today IMO!

Listening to Dr. Hook's hits now. I knew the (sublime) "When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman" but there's some other good stuff... "You Make My Pants Wanna Get Up And Dance" is exactly the kind of good-times middling hit (or non-hit) that I expect to find anchoring one of these albums.

man bunk dogger that one is amazing

what does "bunk dogger" mean, is that UK slang?

it was the guy's name I think!

it sounds like it ought to mean something though

Someone who dogs bunks, clearly.

damn, obvious really!

"time for another" is such a perfect second album title for this thread

Another winner from Nazareth (from 1984):

this thread's really stepped it up today, good work all

A power trio album from 1981: Jack Bruce, Bill Lordan (former Sly and the Family Stone drummer) and Robin Trower:

There should be one of these called "Welp, Let's Get This Over With"

"Two More Of These And We're Out Of Our Contract"
