Horrible 90s Album Titles etc., would be a good thread...
― Doctor Casino, Thursday, 11 July 2013 18:40 (twelve years ago)
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.

I'm struggling to keep myself from spamming this thread with more horrible 90s album covers
― Moodles, Thursday, 11 July 2013 19:18 (twelve years ago)
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

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

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

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.

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.

used to think this was one of the most sanctimonious titles ever, until I saw this cover:http://www.progarchives.com/progressive_rock_discography_covers/2627/cover_57171912112009.jpg
so a 'to do' list, maybe? first: say hi to St Peter?…but no, that's the less common cover - the other covers and inner vinyl labels carry the version with the apostrophe. don't know about you plebes and your worldly concerns, but…http://sinistersaladmusikal.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/100_9262-1.jpg

Ha totally the Eastern mystic version of that type of title. Love that album though.

I don't know if it exists, but there should certainly be one called "Try This On For Size"
― Clarke B., Sunday, 29 September 2013 19:42 (twelve years ago)
Or how about "Salad Daze" with an illustration of the band from behind sitting crosslegged staring up at like a giant glowing radish or some shit

Not an album, but the posthumous Faces box set Five Guys Walk Into A Bar..
