Bonus points since the title track also seems to be about going solo, having his own album to do.

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 (five years ago) link

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

niels, Monday, 6 August 2018 07:30 (five years ago) link

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

The guy hiding under the seat is a nice touch.

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:
