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

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"

not seeing horse's image :(

On the Jack Bruce tip, check out these initial offerings from his lyricist Pete Brown

Micky Jupp is relevant to this thread's interests

on an 'agreeable inessentiality' tip, 'Don't Mind Rockin' Tonite' by Ducks Deluxe

http://eil.com/images/main/Ducks-Deluxe-Dont-Mind-Rockin-445636.jpg

Ha ha Do you guys want to rock tonight or hang out in the bowling alley parking lot?

Rocking sounds cool, I guess

Sounds pretty passive aggressive.

"But yesterday you said you didn't want to rock!"

"Look, really, it's fine; I don't mind rockin' tonight."

man ive always wondered about that juppanese one. like how was that actually allowed?

I don't mind rockin', I'd just rather we got Juppanese.

Joe Walsh There Goes the Neighborhood is almost the ideal of this genre of album titling

Joe was the master. He rode that schtick into the late 80s:

Walsh also embodies the "Hey here's my album, whaddya want from me?" rueful shrug and grin that is implied by all these titles, his whole persona is sort of based on this aethestic

haha Tarfumes you posted that same cover last summer!

still cracks me up though, what a joker that joe is!
