Spinoff from the "I've Got My Own Album to Do" thread. This should be a nearly infinite goldmine of groaners. The 70s (again) was the heyday for this, but def bonus points for any entries from the post-punk world.
Let's kick it off with a debut album whose title must cause a [url="http://www.allmusic.com/album/whole-oats-mw0000650229"]stomach-churning regret[\url] every time Daryl & John remember it.

oooh, that's the stuff! the Schweizerdeutschness of “Kägi” was brilliant enough in itself, but this adds another sweet layer of Swissness to it. the pun is most definitely intended.
does seem most likely that it’s a fan-made thing tho, since this album has all the looks of a bootleg. it is mentioned on Keaggy’s Wikipedia page, but neither his website nor Discogs lists it.
I can only find it here, “the biggest Christian lp/mc/cd (web)shop of the German-speaking world”, where it’s status is “currently unavailable”:https://www.bensound-musikshop.com/ccm/solisten-ccm/phil-keaggy/
A brilliant pun would be “Phil-lections”.
his classical album: Philharmonics and Philigreeshis christmas album: Keaggy Eleison (probably too blasphemic for him tho)
