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

Man that band always looks like the biggest bunch of thugs

The song wasn't called "Born To Be Mild" (which would have been a great Rupert Holmes title born to this thread).

Nantucket - Your Face Or Mine?

u_u

surely they have a limerick-inspired album?

Excellent.

... produced by Cliff Richard!

Pushed... Off a Cliff!

i think that one tipped the scale for me, I really do want to buy every record in the thread and wallpaper a building with them.

I've got my own building to build

Oh, so there's a copy of I've Got My Own Album To Do at my local alleyway shop, with a very flattering employee-pick sticker on it. The tracklist is pretty promising too. I think it was around eight bucks or I woulda just snapped it up. Is this actually a good album y/n?

"Special thanks from the band to Cliff Richard"

Great lineup of titles there too. "We Sure Do," "Not Afraid to Rock 'n' Roll"...

The connection to Cliff Richard is that this Garth Hewitt guy was a sort of Christian rocker, though the thing is really messing with my head is that Bryn Haworth plays on the album too and I thought HE was Garth Hewitt (and vice versa).

Oh, hold on, it gets worse, I just checked Bryn Haworth on wiki and he's a Christian too.

I came across this one yesterday and thought of this thread.

Yeah this seems rubbish when the Chameleons do it imo

better the 70s stalwart.

that wasn't the chameleons first offence either...

I have consciously avoided ever hearing that band because of their album titles.

I'm more likely to listen to a Cardiacs album tbh.

Phil Everly - Mystic Line (1975)

None of these seem egregiously of this thread, but given how superfluous a Phil Everly solo career already seems to me, they're kinda tickling me.

These are terrible enough to rate inclusion. I certainly almost choked on my lunch.

that last everly one

O_O

has this one made it on here yet?

ah hell

feel like there should be a top ten groan-worthy titles. That one and the Caravan would make my list.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/74/Acquiring_the_Taste_front_cover.jpg

Of course, 'Acquiring the Taste' is not in and of itself an outright horrible title, but when coupled a cover depicting the thinnest of thinly veiled allusions to salad tossing it adds up to a true prog grossout as only could have been produced in the 70s.

Prog, why you so nasty?

ok that is super grossout

refuse to believe that is caravan's 1st appearance here

I put the prog titles in a whole different group from most of what we've seen in this thread.

The album cover has some innuendo in that it is made to look like a tongue licking an anus. However, when opened completely, it is actually a tongue licking a peach.

eddie harris - i'm tired of driving

so many of these titles are just things your parents say

Gentle Giant's album concepts improved remarkably when they moved on from peach licking to extremely mundane stuff like "whatever happened to our buddies in school?" and "what if we did a whole album about interviews?" Plus the great Watergate record & the failed relationships record.

x-post --- I was trying and failing to post a pic of Stiller & Meara's comedy album with the title "Laugh When You Want." Are they saying we can play this "comedy album" anytime we want? An adventure like this is unheard of in the 20th century.

you can laugh when you want to. you can leave your friends behind.

cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance then they're no friends of mine

haha i love these explanations as if ppl go around licking peaches all the time..

phil everly cover a precursor to an 80s variant of these, which I imagine has been posted?

the drops of drool on the gentle giant are really what makes it gross imo

actually its about tongue-licking a peach #GentleGiant
