Mael Intuition - The Best of the Sparks 1974-76

I quite like that one - as well as continuing the 'mael' pun, I guess the fan could be seen as a callback to the cover of 'Kimono My House' (which much be their best known album in UK by some margin)?

also from Miles Davis: Milestones.

feel like No Talking, Just Head is kind of in the spirit of this here. that mac dre one is amazing because the cover seems to indicate upwards of four different titles, and they're all terrible.

and of course

THe two simultaneously released live Grateful dead lps Set and Reckoning are puns on Dead

It's a matter of profound regret, for the purposes of this thread at least, that he and Georgie Fame didn't call their duo album The Price of Fame. Instead they called it Fame & Price/Price & Fame/Together, which is a bit of a mouthful.

And I still can't believe that Roger Daltrey and Wilko Johnson didn't call their collaborative effort Roger Wilko.

Oh yes:

Herbie Mann is another serial punner (though he had it easy):

I bet there are more.

Our Mann Flute is masterful.

Not a pun on his name but he has an album called "Et Tu Fluté".

Horrible album titles that pun on another artist's name

http://i.imgur.com/C2KJJnM.jpg

(also, one track is called 'Too Punk Shakur')

further sidetrack- that band Joanna Gruesome bugs/mystifies me... is there any other example of a band with a name that's a pun on a contemporary artist?

Mingus Ah-Um
Mingus Dynasty

Mingus loved to put his surname in his album titles.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/12/Charles_Mingus_Mingus_Mingus_Mingus_Mingus_Mingus.jpg

so nice he named twice five times

Mingus album names aren't puns tho, are they?

Not that I can make out

Mingus Ah Um = us, ah, um (Latin verb conjugations)
Mingus Dynasty = Ming Dynasty (ancient China)

Doh, Mingus Dynasty

John Coltrane:
