The Kirk Lorange ‘No Apostrophe’ cover posted upthread clearly should have pictured him being served a bowl of alphabet soup at a fancy restaurant, smdh

Cocky, "Twelve Inches of Cocky"

points docked for not featuring a rooster and a ruler

Just came across this one from 1973:

Idk, I'd say that's pretty solid

Kevin Ayers - "That's What You Get Babe"

o_O

Here's the back cover, all quite a long way from Soft Machine

I quite like that album btw!

yikes

Scorpions level creepiness

That's a long way from any other Kevin Ayers LP cover I've seen.

xp
Yeah I was going to mention Robert Palmer, but even he's not that ott.

long wondered if Scorpions were inspiration for Spinal Tap's Smell the Glove, esp Animal Magnetism and Love Drive....the original Virgin Killer is a good case for censorship

"Smell the Glove" made me think of the Eric Carmen album, "Tonight You're Mine" - I remembered the cover, had to google the title - the opening song of which is (yikes) "It Hurts Too Much".

What’s wrong with being sexy?

Is Richard Wright’s “own” (1978) album — Wet Dream — already here? (Ctrl+F doesn’t find it, but I know that’s not dispositive.)

Bus Boys, "Minimum Wage Rock & Roll"

Eddie Murphy loved that band!

one of the greatest album titles of all time imho

Wet Dream, the long-awaited follow-up to Native Son

xpost really is a great title

Eddie Murphy loved that band!

I loved that song on the Ghostbusters soundtrack as a kid

Raul de Souza - Don't Ask My Neighbors

I love pretty much everything about that cover: his exuberant pose, the album title of course, the fact that he's playing on the rooftop and therefore isn't actually bothering his neighbors, the bluebird standing on his logo...

Seems like he should be playing a “Souza-phone,” tho(?) 😛

Bus Boys opened for Eddie Murphy a lot.

(xp) It's a nice one.

they opened for him on Delirious, he also got them in 48 Hours, must've been good buds

Just remembered this one from my youth

I'd bet the Bus Boys probably have at least 1 good Rick James story.

xp
That's a great one too, but maybe better for the bad puns thread.

(Not That) Robert Johnson: Close Personal Friend

Bill Labounty: Rain In My Life

Bill! Is that last years hard boiled Easter egg that was never found in your pocket?

Nope, just glad to see you!

^^Countdown to somebody finding a private press folk or cabaret album with that as a title.

(Not That) Robert Johnson: Close Personal Friend

Hmm. “I’ll Be Waiting.” Doesn’t sound like either of those songs, only commonality is the word “love” in the lyrics, but it does have some bubblegummy background vocals singing “papa-pom-mow-mow”!

“Waiting for a taste of your love” is so Tap, so Brian Johnson

I came across the chorus of “ let me put my love into you” earlier today and damn, dude doesn’t pull any punches.

(He needs the vag really badly )
