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

Wow. For a second I read that as being by The Association and was trying to imagine what kind of unlikely career developments might have brought them to that point.

Yes, Karl-Heinz Wiberny ending up in The Association is just too far-fetched.

If we're allowing music bios then there's this: Ronnie Browne's "That Guy Fae The Corries"

May already have been posted, but just saw this in the wild, and WOW

King of Hearts-Close, But No Guitar

Wow I think that's new & that is a new contender

It's a ways upthread, but always welcome.

is that david st. hubbins on the far right

I'd love to hear that album!

till yesterday was only familiar with 'bend it', but watched some of their beat club performances which are surprisingly heavy ('loos of england' aside)... great fuzz bass. tempted to investigate further now.

i unabashedly love that title, and that cover

i unabashedly love a lot of these titles and covers tbh

Yeah they were kind of like a twee version of the early Move stuff, some great basslines and a few really killer tunes.

Also check "Zabadak!" "Hold Tight" and their goofy chart-topper "The Legend of Xanadu." This 1967 EP release also seems thread-relatable:

i'm totally into this band in theory

is that lads of england or loos of england?

its loos, isn't it?

terrible "comedy" albums shouldn't really count but...

his band looks pretty hottt though...

definitely "loos"

yep, for your and everyone's edification

I went and looked up the album that kicked off the whole thing - I've Got My Own Album To Do - and found the closing track was called Crotch Music. I had a listen and it's not what I expected at all, more like someone put the 70's in a blender, of if Battles collaborated with Edgar Winter.

Incidentally I heard Ronnie Wood was in an old man pub in Kildare with some hangers-on a couple of years ago and someone handed him a guitar and asked for a tune. He started singing and the barman came over and told him there was no singing allowed. "That's Ronnie Wood from the Rolling Stones, you can't tell him to shut up". "I don't care if he's Daniel O'Donnell, he can't sing in here".

xxxp holy shit that dude pioneered Gary Wilson's schtick with dumping flour over himself

xpost Ronnie Wood furiously at work on new album He Can't Sing in Here --(cover is a toilet)

Chuck Berry - Rock It

(album is depressingly bad btw, at least based on the cuts i've checked out so far, "If I Were" and the single "Oh What A Thrill")

Jimmy Jones must feel that being ensconced in velvet is socially acceptable and in the 70s it probably was.

"i like wine"

^I inherited this lp from my dad's collection. the title always made me laugh. so...straightforward.

Fernandez did a stint in Pinochet's prisons after the coup (along with many other Chilean folkies), but he made it out.

a new one

niiiice

Even better that it's a bass.

I kind of want to make one called "I've Got My Own Pablum to do"

cover could use an image something like this

The Great Imposters - You Asked For it!

lolling at "i've got my own pablum to do," and the idea of freddie and the dreamers still making albums in 1978, wtf.

is that dreamers album real? cover's a bit offensive.

answer: it is real

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyUJfMTTwSk

okay that might be the worst song i ever heard

Poll:

Giorgio's a Wop
Jerry Loves Fags
Freddie Goes Punk
Peter's a Puff
Pete's the Hulk (???)

MUFC most offensive

"Play that song again, radio
the one that had the lyrics"

love songs like that

not from the 70s but this Soul Asylum one is pretty classic to the form

UMS never meta song he didn't like

i'm just still baffled at freddie and the dreamers having a record contract in 1978. apparently somewhere along the way they became the musical hosts of a British kids' show?
