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

What would define the 90s album-naming ethos -- one-word names that sound like chemical compounds?

Hmmm, tough to say...these things break apart by genre I think. Did the "we're just a fun, no-fuss party band!" thing even exist in the 90s? I guess maybe in the land of vaguely funky major label alterna-metal. Most big rock bands seemed to take on at least a little grungey bummerdom, in image if not in song. Maybe something like Sugar Ray's 14:59.

Oh come now, of course there was!

I'm struggling to keep myself from spamming this thread with more horrible 90s album covers

ahahaha yes, how could I forget FUSH YU MANG. Bloodhound Gang would be a good source here too methinks. But yes - new thread? Or do we need to wait a couple decades?

E.L.P.'s Brain Salad Surgery always struck me as a particularly awful name

...which is also a lyric from Dr. John's "Right Place, Wrong Time." Both released in 1973. I've always wondered about this.

There's a collaboration you don't see too often.

Proposed (horrible) album title:

Waiter, There's an Armadillo in my Gumbo!

Check, Please!, with a picture of the band in spirited negotiations with the record company.

"Tree Fellers Wanted" - for a trio; or even duo for maximum lolz

...which is also a lyric from Dr. John's "Right Place, Wrong Time." Both released in 1973. I've always wondered about this.

Woah, was just listening to the Dr. John track this morning and wondered the same thing

there's a who poll on the main page but i kinda realized that this iconic album is sorta one of these album titles

http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/500/69332138/Whos+Next+The+Who.png

somehow it escaped me until now that the title is written "Who's next" not "Who's Next" or "who's next"

yeah that is kinda weird

also on the who tip you've got *eugh* all cowboys have chinese eyes

Gross.

I know right? I was wondering if an American would ever even say "'ot", but apparently the bloke from Leaf Hound was the singer on that album.

You mean this guy?

Reminds me of

You mean this guy?

Dunno if you posted a picture there, but if you did, I can't see it

That's the feller! Why's he got his entrails wrapped round his neck?

Maybe it's just me skimming through this thread too much, but now I want to read that as a gag title meant to evoke "Fucks in Dlight," whatever that would mean.

They also had an album called Lie Back & Enjoy It with pretty cool fold out artwork:

used to think this was one of the most sanctimonious titles ever, until I saw this cover:

so a 'to do' list, maybe? first: say hi to St Peter?
…but no, that's the less common cover - the other covers and inner vinyl labels carry the version with the apostrophe.
don't know about you plebes and your worldly concerns, but…

Ha totally the Eastern mystic version of that type of title. Love that album though.

Hahahaha... Here's a horror:

http://www.hallandoates.de/Covers_Albums/1972%20Whole%20Oats.jpg

I don't know if it exists, but there should certainly be one called "Try This On For Size"

Or how about "Salad Daze" with an illustration of the band from behind sitting crosslegged staring up at like a giant glowing radish or some shit

"Second Place is the First Loser"

The Frames should have done a record called "Shot Down in Frames"

"New Clear Waste"

"If Assholes Could Fly This Place Would Be an Airport"

Killing Joke weirdly fits this thread with ...What's THIS For?

Not an album, but the posthumous Faces box set Five Guys Walk Into A Bar..

Ha, love that title (and the set).

Great work, everyone.

Jethro Tull - Stand Up (featuring a cardboard, stand-up cutout of the band...standing up)

Yeah the Faces are so perfect for these types of titles, so loveable

iirc, "Throwback" features guitarist Alan Throw.

"New Clear Waste"

http://cranialspasm.com/recordclub/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/vapors.jpg

... belongs on a horrible album titles by new wave bands thread though

also http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/96/Ashnuclearsounds.jpg/220px-Ashnuclearsounds.jpg

and AR Kane's third album was called New Clear Child

it was rubbish btw, just in case the title doesn't serve as warning enough
