it's difficult to make out at this size, but each of the heads is made up of many smaller heads, rather like the terrifying freeview advert the bbc ran several years ago

also, their *sophomore album* was called 'Second Flight' and had a big picture of a propeller on the front

In the spirit of the thread title (I think)

Then there's this somewhat NSFW cover from Jo Jo Gunne: http://sinistersaladmusikal.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/100_6836.jpg

though maybe that should've gone on the Yawnsomely Literal thread

The Wisdom of Gafflers (JoeStork), Monday, 24 February 2014 16:45 (twelve years ago)

I wonder what the thought process was behind that JJ Gunne cover art

Even though it is from '69, I'd think Colosseum's 'Those Who Are About to Die Salute You' might fit in here but then it may have also inspired AC/DC's "For Those About to Rock, We Salute You."

In the spirit of this thread, friend on facebook just suggested a band called Hot Lasagna, and I named the third album "A Third Helping of Hot Lasagna"

Burt Stuntin (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 25 February 2014 04:04 (twelve years ago)

hahah i just made the same decision, they've showed up the most times in this thread of a band where i actually have no clue what they sound like

Doctor Casino, Tuesday, 25 February 2014 04:08 (twelve years ago)

dude does a pretty good van morrison impression, i'll give them that!

Doctor Casino, Tuesday, 25 February 2014 04:09 (twelve years ago)

Keep On Smilin is a nice sunshiney AM Gold kinda tune I had never heard. I guess that's their hit?

Burt Stuntin (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 25 February 2014 04:09 (twelve years ago)

Airport: a likeable enough whiteboy swamp funk jam. Nothing objectionable about this band really.

Burt Stuntin (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 25 February 2014 04:14 (twelve years ago)

They pretty much sound like their album covers. Just a few good ole boys havin a good ole time.

Burt Stuntin (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 25 February 2014 04:15 (twelve years ago)

But which one's Willie?!

Haaaa, totally.

Doctor Casino, Wednesday, 26 March 2014 12:27 (twelve years ago)

oh man that's got everything...though that's an 80s record...still allowed/aloud...man that is killer

btw is anyone else kind of getting stockholm syndrome on album titles like this where i'm starting to think all albums should be by law required to have titles like this?

Little Nicky Pizza loved that rascal Rust (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 26 March 2014 13:38 (twelve years ago)

These kind of titles are truly post-psychedelic imo, like where do we go from here, we're all coked up let's make puns about sandwiches.

brimstead, Thursday, 27 March 2014 02:36 (twelve years ago)

at least on some of these there's something to look at apart from the horrible pun -- 'no fun aloud' is like

Stevolende, Thursday, 27 March 2014 07:57 (twelve years ago)

or is that made safe once the flow of gas has been stopped?

Stevolende, Thursday, 27 March 2014 07:58 (twelve years ago)

Wow that might be the greatest example of this thread

Dude the liner notes on that Glenn Frey album are even better. Trust me.

PIcked up Keith Richards' autobiography in a bargain bin last weekend, and have just recently learned that he thought I've Got My Own Album To Do was a great title.

From the Glenn Frey insert (hard to read, but worth it):

Hopefully, you all know that you can't party all the time, but when you do, play this song. By the way, you got any?

not 70s but that Todd Terje album qualifies
