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

Not 70s, but Dave Mason "Some Assembly Required"

Not even sure this is a pun -- the monkey is not a "heavy pet"? I don't know why they're wired together. Baffling.

This whole thread is a pretty good nostalgia tour of mid-'80s remainder bins at mall record stores, btw.

Speaking of UFO ... didn't realize this was a pun until being reminded of the British pronunciation of faucet.

The "no heavy petting" was what the sign at the swimming pool would say, but what relevance the monkey has, dunno..

why are there so many water lines and faucets

not to mention the implied sexual assault

If she doesn't want it, faucet?

Not a pun but what the fuck?

Laing likes women, Bruce likes getting drunk, West likes eating hamburgers.

Also apparently the couple on that "Force It" cover are Genesis P Orridge and Cosey Fanni Tutti.

feel like this horrible but not 70s album title belongs:

Never knew that, but it's another Hipgnosis cover and that was Peter Christopherson's day job so I guess it's not entirely surprising.

Presumably after having surgery (like getting a monkey wired to your neck) the doctors would recommend that you indulge in no heavy petting.

I was just thinking that "It's All Fun And Games Until Somebody Loses An Eye" would make a good one of these

^ first solo slbum by Alan Clarke of the Hollies. I have no idea what the title is suppose to mean, but it is truly fucking abysmal.

Warren Zevon's "My Ride's Here" is the sort of poignant/sad exception to the rule of this stuff

what a ridiculous cover too. but awesome t-shirt

I googled just now to make sure "It's All Fun And Games Until Somebody Loses An Eye... Then It's Just Fun!" was not a Megadeth album title.

I have no idea what the title is suppose to mean...

Harold Allan Clarke (5 April 1942, Salford, Lancashire) is a retired British singer who was one of the founding members of The Hollies.

Nah, it'd be like, It's All Guns and Fame Til Someone Oozes A Lie!, and it'd be written out on a postcard with a flourish, like they could have written ''wish you were here!'' And the band are standing around, leaning on each other's shoulders chuckling at the camera. And it'd be really brown.

Horrible 90s Album Titles etc., would be a good thread...

What would define the 90s album-naming ethos -- one-word names that sound like chemical compounds?

Hmmm, tough to say...these things break apart by genre I think. Did the "we're just a fun, no-fuss party band!" thing even exist in the 90s? I guess maybe in the land of vaguely funky major label alterna-metal. Most big rock bands seemed to take on at least a little grungey bummerdom, in image if not in song. Maybe something like Sugar Ray's 14:59.

Oh come now, of course there was!

I'm struggling to keep myself from spamming this thread with more horrible 90s album covers

ahahaha yes, how could I forget FUSH YU MANG. Bloodhound Gang would be a good source here too methinks. But yes - new thread? Or do we need to wait a couple decades?

E.L.P.'s Brain Salad Surgery always struck me as a particularly awful name

...which is also a lyric from Dr. John's "Right Place, Wrong Time." Both released in 1973. I've always wondered about this.

There's a collaboration you don't see too often.

Proposed (horrible) album title:

Waiter, There's an Armadillo in my Gumbo!

Check, Please!, with a picture of the band in spirited negotiations with the record company.

"Tree Fellers Wanted" - for a trio; or even duo for maximum lolz

...which is also a lyric from Dr. John's "Right Place, Wrong Time." Both released in 1973. I've always wondered about this.

Woah, was just listening to the Dr. John track this morning and wondered the same thing

there's a who poll on the main page but i kinda realized that this iconic album is sorta one of these album titles

http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/500/69332138/Whos+Next+The+Who.png

somehow it escaped me until now that the title is written "Who's next" not "Who's Next" or "who's next"

yeah that is kinda weird

also on the who tip you've got *eugh* all cowboys have chinese eyes

Gross.

I know right? I was wondering if an American would ever even say "'ot", but apparently the bloke from Leaf Hound was the singer on that album.

You mean this guy?

Dunno if you posted a picture there, but if you did, I can't see it

That's the feller! Why's he got his entrails wrapped round his neck?

Maybe it's just me skimming through this thread too much, but now I want to read that as a gag title meant to evoke "Fucks in Dlight," whatever that would mean.

They also had an album called Lie Back & Enjoy It with pretty cool fold out artwork:
