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

Those are some good ones. No idea what banjo sandwich is supposed to mean.

Apparently it's an egg sandwich? Or something related.

Their album title game is strong wow they cover all the bases

on the one hand it looks like something some guy did on his laser printer in '94 but OTOH it's by a guy who once had an album produced by Lindsey Buckingham, so I consider this a major find for this thread

A title so witty it appears twice

oh man. can only imagine the mind-warping sonic treasures within.

his followup album was called Apocalypso Now.

the cover art for this live album ("The Meaning of Live") is something

Lawrence Gowan - ...But you can call me Larry

Actually from 1982 so technically in the 70s Fuckers Trying to Go All New Wave camp:

Howard Werth, "6ix Of 1ne And ½ A Dozen Of The Other"

This is also from 1982, coincidentally:

Bagatelle, "Are We Keeping You Up?"

Fuck knows when this is from:

jfc @ that Walter Egan sleeve. when pedophilia was cool!

yeah 70s rock was so gross and bizarre in how normalized that shit was

can't remember if I posted this already but for a hip electronic dude Todd Tjere really threw it back with this title/art combo

https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/510nwyuAClL.jpg

that egan cover is so bad you want to believe they were offering some kind of ill-advised commentary on those attitudes. but it is just about doin it with two cheerleaders.

it's album time, though -- that is genius.

Howard Werth, "6ix Of 1ne And ½ A Dozen Of The Other"

stellar example.

it's album time is a great title, cover, and album! strongly recommended. thanks ILM year-end polls for turning me onto terje generally.

ahead of its time

wow

I can't believe I JUST got the pun in "Fundamental Roll." Album cover aside, that first Egan album is a wonderful slice of Buddy Holly-influenced pop rock, recommended if you're into Marshall Crenshaw and/or Nick Lowe. (Or Fleetwood Mac.)

ok can you explain "fundamental roll" to me i'm dumb

Roll = role

It's not even a really good pun, it's just like "roots rock" = "fundamental roll."

OMG With Mallets Aforethought!

Speaking of "roll" puns, I noted the Brand X pun that took me years to get - Moroccan Roll = more rock and roll, in the puns you had missed thread.

So is all this stuff a reaction to the idea of the album as artistic statement? Or is it something else?

In like ten years I want to make an album called "Just Going Through Some Old Tweets..."

would be a good title if Henry Hadaway ever decides to make another Tweets record

^^^ Would listen.

Glenn Shorrock, "Villain Of The Peace" (from 1982, but he deserves to be pilloried for this nonetheless)

Strangely titled album by 70s TV heartthrob, Mick Robertson, "Then I Change Hands"...

http://img.cdandlp.com/2016/05/imgL/118174184.jpeg

Does the back cover have his left hand gripping his belt and the right hanging causally by the fly?

Janne Schaffer - Earmeal (1978)

Original Swedish album cover; US version is a sad Hard Day's Night ripoff (the "bunch of portrait shots from the same shoot, with the film border and stuff" genre).

"Then I change hands . . . and it feels like someone else."

absolutely

dude's place seems like a cool place to chill tbh

songs from the guest bedroom at my parents' house

It's from 1987 but this piece of crap from Daltrey surely has a home here:
