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

Boy, does that make you not want to hear the music. Imagine: the sonic equivalent of stained brown paper and forgotten takeout coffee going moldy in a dingy van!

not to mention the inevitable bowel cramps in a gas station bathroom later that evenimg

Hence "One Way Road To Hell."

I love that track, it's on https://worthopedia.s3.amazonaws.com/images/thumbnails/360/1211/10/360_e337fa510a1cd5eeb2151df676466eb3.jpg along with Kraftwerk's "Ruckzeug", a bit of comedy basically.

REO Speedwagon - Live: You Get What You Play For

This album's only two months old, but it fits in so seamlessly I had to include it anyway...

...and The Wheel. They also had albums called both Collision Course and Comin' Right At Ya, and would in later decades release Western Standard Time, The Wheel Keeps on Rollin', Merry Texas Christmas, Y'All (and belated followup Santa Loves to Boogie), Ride With Bob, Remembers the Alamo, Willie and the Wheel (with Willie Nelson), and, I swear to God, Reinventing the Wheel.

The Christmas albums also remind me that I learned today that Donnie "Ah! Leah" Iris would, in 2010, release his first Christmas album, Ah! Leluiah!

You missed Asleep At The Wheel's live album, Served Live

Which apparently two of my cousins (both teens at the time) attended the recording concerts for (free admission announced over the radio). I think it was there that they discovered one of the members of the band lived across the street from them.

Posted this on another thread but far too terrible not to share here as well:

(someone might have done that already, apologies if so)

Anybody here ever notice how Fall Out Boy song titles sound like candidates for this thread?

1. Sugar, We're Goin Down
2. Dance, Dance
3. A Little Less Sixteen Candles, a Little More "Touch Me"
4. Thnks fr th Mmrs
5. I'm Like a Lawyer with the Way I'm Always Trying to Get You Off
6. The Carpal Tunnel of Love
7. The Take Over, The Breaks Over
8. This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race

amazing how the well never runs dry

can't believe slsk is letting me down

childish to be amused by this but

Kenny (3)
Profile: Glam-rock band from Enfield, England, mid 1970s; initially named "Chuff."

omg killer posts everybody. lollllll "Wear It's 'At"

I've never ventured past Suzi's first couple records, that cover is sadly not as off-putting as they would later get....

Buzzy Linhart - Pussycats Can Go Far

horrifying

amazing how the well never runs dry

― mookieproof, Sunday, February 1, 2015 6:20 PM (1 hour ago)

in fact i can think of any number of "well's run dry"-based titles that could plausibly adorn one of these albums

1980, but

http://eil.com/images/main/B-A-Robertson-Initial-Success-358659.jpg

B. A. Robertson - Initial Success

later released an album called 'R&BA'

Re: Greg Kign, he sure did his best to keep this tradition alive throughout the 80s. Observe:

1978 Next of Kihn
1981 Rockihnroll (as Greg Kihn Band)
1982 Kihntinued (as Greg Kihn Band)
1983 Kihnspiracy (as Greg Kihn Band)
1984 Kihntagious (as Greg Kihn Band)
1985 Citizen Kihn
1989 Kihnsolidation: The Best of Greg Kihn
1992 Kihn of Hearts

Buzzy Linhart is gonna haunt my dreams

Wear It Is Hat????? This one's making me Irrationally Angry.

"Initial Success" might be the most 1980 cover I've ever seen in my life. The lighting, the font, everything. Guy could have easily stepped in as a fill-in for the mannequin on Today's Special, or Slim Goodbody for that matter.

B. A. Robertson did have a 70s pre-fame album called 'Wringing Applause' which is maybe more in keeping with this thread

Malkmus tweeted this one:

yikes!

nightmare fuel

wha-

almost as nightmarish as this:

(^ 1960s btw, doesn't count)

"I know, why don't we call the band, Toe Fat!"

i feel like the 70s is the sweet spot but i don't want to not see truly terrible album titles just because they happen to be from 1968 or 1982

spotted in the wild yesterday:

There's definitely a "long 70s" that could be marked out precisely by the sensibility that informs these album covers.

feel like 80-82 is v 70s still at least in the US

"Mark Slade" is like a weird inversion of this:
