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.

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?

The one where he's at a board meeting with the corporate suits is so classic for this thread
― dollar rave club (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 22 April 2014 21:57 (twelve years ago)
haha, yeah, that is so perfect. good level of "who cares about the cover" vs. "we actually spent a lot of time and money on this cover"

When I was in high school, the FM rock station in San Bernardino must have taken a big pile of payola to flog that Corporate Suit Joe Perry album. Heavy rotation for several months. "Let the music do the talking" indeed. The same bag of payola cocaine also paid for several months' heavy rotation of Blue Oyster Cult's Cultösaurus Erectus.

i feel like despite all the titles/covers cited in this thread, we are --at present-- in a golden age of terrible album titles. well, maybe it was more the 2000s.
i mean surely titles like this rule the roost, so to speak

in sum: if your album title is longer than four words you need a REALLY good reason
Nominating this as an early example of the genre:

Frank Zappa produced that last Grand Funk album apparently, was wondering where Zappa's album titles fit with this stuff, kind of similar but a slightly different thing?
― soref, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 15:04 (twelve years ago)
good call on zappa, he was in on the ground floor w/r/t titles that make you groan.

^^^ a rarities/b-sides comp, definitely closer to these titles than to, I dunno, the Beastie Boys' Some Old Bullshit.

Miles Prower
Had to say it out loud before I got it.
That reminds me of a character from the old Children's Television Workshop show "The Electric Company," a detective specializing in code breaking named Fargo North, Decoder.
