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

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?

this guy had the title game on lock:

Marmalade - ...Doing It All For You (1978)

this old quote from woebot's blog seems sort of pertinent (on 70s rock):

What is it with hairies that causes them, at the drop of a shilling, to don a tailcoat and top hat, like it was the funniest fucking joke in the world? Who cracked it first? Cream on the cover of "Goodbye Cream" probably, in those ridiculous white suits. I swear I've come across so many whiskered stoned grinning idiots dressed up like this on record covers in the last week. You goons!

haha otm

Another one came to me tonight. Band is called Mission, album title is "In re: Mission"

fairport crew definitely did not take things too seriously

Pegg looks feral in that pic

Wasn't he bros with Bonzo?

Another one came to me today:

Can't Beat the Real Thing by Rocka-Rolla Classic

some nu country dude really throwing it back to this vibe:

Looks like Jon Wurster.

Acoustic guitarist on stairs is too reminiscent of:

Did this ever get posted?

Acme Thunder - Let's All Get Naked

Record Buying Public - Let's Not And Say We Did

Acne Thunder

Man I had to check Acme Thunder out on Youtube... that is a singularly terrible band right there. Like they took all of the wrong cues from southern, prog and hard rock and whipped them into a shitty frappe.

Sandy Hurvitz - Sandy’s Album is Here at Last

Young Essra Mohawk right there. Pretty unexciting album but I like the title "Arch Godliness of Purplefull Magic."

Hope I didn't miss this one above - I think this is the US cover

Wilderness Road: Sold for Prevention of Disease Only

Wow

I wonder if there was a shop that bands that wanted to get an Earth, Wind and Fire look could go, like some big B. Coat Factory for the the hip star child in you.

was tipped off to their existence via a heathcote williams interview i read the other day. amazon review has me kind of curious: ...though the front cover displayed them as futuristic glam-rockers, Wilderness Road actually played a mutant hybrid of mountain music, psychedelia, rock, country and avant political satire

bonus gatefold photos

Great find.

... I thought so too, when I posted it 7 months ago! Here's what you said then:

ughhh

Dirk Hamilton - You Can Sing On The Left Or Bark On The Right

I've come to the conclusion that as an album title, "Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols" sits comfortably in the tradition of this thread. And I'd love to see the cover re-imagined in the style of some of those featured here.
