I'd give the Johnny Thunders one bonus points if it turned it wasn't even a covers collection.

My parents owned a copy of the Brooker record. Title song was a holiday mixtape staple. Still love the keyboard lead on that one

That one belongs more to the "Horrible pun titles based on the artist's name" thread, no?

Horrible album titles that pun on the artist's name

Tuomas, Monday, 6 August 2018 07:19 (six years ago) link

it does indeed, but seems like this thread has become catch-all for these

I dunno, the other thread was last updated yesterday.

Not an album, but singer-songwriter Todd Snider's memoir:

A modern example courtesy of a Ned retweet:

Sorry, dude, but this was a very bad idea and it is going to rebound on you in a really ugly way. (Especially since your album is coming out in November.) If there's still time to scrap this title and cover, DO IT. pic.twitter.com/mjliBcafst

Horrible titles are usually more than three words

I enjoy seeing these old albums (and I’m grateful they’re posted here); but sometimes I get the sense from these threads that this is ILM’s platonic ideal of an album cover & title:

So, often when I look up the unknown-to-me artists that appear on this thread, like Bill up there, Discogs reveals

https://www.discogs.com/Bill-The-Bills-Bills-Bills-Bills/release/3338706

...it's a Canadian release. Is it the selection bias of my ignorance or might Canada have produced a higher proportion of these sorts records?

saddest kamancheh (bendy), Friday, 24 August 2018 16:20 (six years ago) link

Simple explanation is that Canada is the only country where the creation of these sorts of albums were subsidised by the government.
