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

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

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

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:

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:

that's the back cover

That Toe Fat album is fantastic; one of my all-time favorites. (It's pretty good, too.)

The cover to their second album, Two, is less creepy than just disgusting:

That's not the proper cover though. This is the real one (Hypgnosis btw)

i don't know if self-titled albums should really count but there you have it

re: Toe Fat

For the US release, a man and a topless woman in the background were replaced by the image of a sheep.

lol

What is Toe Fat like musically?

Blues rock I would guess.

Shadows, "Specs Appeal"

Try that again,

Uncle Willard - 'Just One More Good Time'

don't neglect that beautiful exclamation point!

apparently this record was Uncle Willard's only good time!

I would be comforted to learn that following his debut, seen upthread, James Bogush, Jr. shaved off his mustache, got a haircut, and formed Uncle Willard.

Is there an album called "I Know You Are But What Am I?"

From 99 though:

Tom Heinl is probably Joe Walsh's son.

I know he is but what are you?
