"Mellow Gold"

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 19:58 (twenty years ago) link

As I've previously stated (to mild but uniform ILM derision), I like "Lullaby". But this is too much.

How about Vanilla Ice's Hard To Swallow?

― Naive Teen Idol (Naive Teen Idol), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 20:00 (twenty years ago) link

surely that is self-aware ribbing though!

Hmmm -- nothing about VI ever really struck me as "self-aware"--least of all his rap-rock comeback--but you never know.

I remember laughing out loud when I first heard that R.E.M. were going to call their next album Monster, but the joke hasn't stayed w/me in that way for awhile.

― M Matos (M Matos), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 04:48 (twenty years ago) link

ALWAYS loved The Faces "A Nod is as Good as a Wink to a Blind Horse" as an album title...

― Bryan Moore (Bryan Moore), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 05:53 (twenty years ago) link

I seem to remember some band in the 1980s called the Fuk Notz coming out with an album entitled "Let's play Scratch 'n' Sniff with grandpa's butt"!!!!!

Well somebody already mentioned the Butthole Surfers. But nobody mentioned Alice Donut's records yet...
Donut Comes Alive!
Bucketfulls of Sickness and Horror in an Otherwise Meaningless Life
Revenge Fantasies of the Impotent
Untidy Suicides of yoru Degenerate Children
and of course, their greatest song title: "The Son of a Disgruntled X-Postal Worker Reflects on His Life While Getting Stoned in the Parking Lot of a Winn Dixie While Listening to Metallica."

Help Satan to Annihilate the World's Rainforests

(Okay, it was lifted from the comic "Robotman", but I've always thought that'd be the coolest album title EVAH!)

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Thursday, 10 July 2003 07:51 (twenty years ago) link

please hammer..don't hurt 'em

(doglatin: king kurt released an album with a picture of a huge chicken on the front. it was subsequently known as king kurt's big cock, and banned from woolworths...)

as far as people who purposely give their albums funny titles, david holmes has a few gems – lets get killed and this film's crap lets slash the seats.

― dyson (dyson), Thursday, 10 July 2003 12:34 (twenty years ago) link

Phil Collins called his greatest hits album "HITS". There used to be a big billboard on the approach to Blackfriars train station advertising it, with a picture of Phil and the word HITS written in very big letters.

Can you guess how that was subtly altered by some people with spraycans?

Blink-182 - Take Off Your Pants and Jacket

(Say it out loud, but make sure you're braced for the hearty laughter to follow.)

― Bobby Buttrock (Old Lunch), Monday, 8 January 2018 13:20 (six years ago) link

I seem to remember that the Super Furry Animals considered using the name of their song 'The Very Best Of Neil Diamond' as the album title (for what became Dark Days/Light Years). Probably good that they didn't, but it would have been hilarious.

A deliberate joke that I always thought was funny: Paul McCartney has this live album called Paul Is Live.

― Valentijn, Monday, 8 January 2018 14:06 (six years ago) link

As a title, "Yerself Is Steam"

― Mark G, Monday, 8 January 2018 14:36 (six years ago) link

(xp) bit too much like Throbbing Gristle, "20 Jazz Funk Greats" or Ween's "12 Golden Country Greats" perhaps?

The Mekons' "The quality of mercy is not strnen."

Glad to see that someone mentioned this one early on in the thread (of course it doesn't make sense without the album cover)

I know, I saw the album title back in the day but I never saw the album picture until about 15 years afterwards...

Nick Lowe's greatest hits album, 16 All-Time Lowes

― frogbs, Monday, 8 January 2018 16:26 (six years ago) link

Re: Christine Indigos earlier (14 years earlier) post. It couldn't be Squirrel Bait as they only made two lps in their lifetime. The eponymous debut and the wonderfully titled Skag Heaven. I'm pretty sure (if my memories of ads in old issues of Forced Exposure don't deceive me) that title you mentioned belongs to Bastro. Whom I believe are S.B. related so it's close. For some reason my subconscious keeps saying Gastr del Sol, but I'm gonna go with Bastro.

A book but I've always loved this title

There was a folk singer named something like "George Gerdes." Anyway, his first album was called "Obituary." His second album was "Son of Obituary."

there's an REO Speedwagon title but it's so LOL that I can't even type it correctly
