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

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.

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?

That Toe Fat cover is the stuff of nightmares

Just baffled by Tom D's latest. Even getting through the guy's logo is a struggle.

Chuck Berry - Concerto in B. Goode

That JLH record is v fun

Nate Mendel's new solo album is called If 'I Kill This Thing We're All Going To Eat For A Week’, which is in keeping with the spirit of this thread I feel.

i don't know what that title is asking exactly, but really NO

Throbbing Gristle should have ripped off that sleeve.

ha, that would've been perfect

Ha, indeed, perfect casting for a Fleetwood Mac or Peter Green biopic.

Eggs Over Easy - Good'n'Cheap

I was gonna say Danny Kirwan looks like about eight people I know.

"Good'n'Cheap" is great.
