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

I need to rebuy that Robert Johnson LP posthaste, I don't have it anymore.

I'm Not Me is spot on: a solo-album-for-the-sake-of-it; horrible nothing title, horrible half-arsed cover.

Guy did sessions at Stax, auditioned to replace Mick Taylor in The Stones and toured with Entwistle in Ox.

Entwistle fired him after a US tour because Johnson kept doing Townshend stage moves during Ox shows.

The Beat Daddys - No, We Ain't From Clarksdale

Wow, that's one ugly album cover! It doesn't look like it's from the '70s tho, based on the design?

1992 iirc but in their hearts it's always 1973

^^Having seen them twice at festival things, I can assure you that's true. Also: Their lead singer is ten feet tall & a yard wide.

Mick Moloney - Strings Attached

Another idea for one:

Album title is "Punching In"

Lead singer or artist is punching a hole in the wall next to one of those old factory timeclocks.

... any excuse to re-post this old favourite of mine.

Lee Ann Womack: There's More Where That Came From

I think country LP titles work on a whole different economy to the core of this thread.

They're (almost) always named after a song on the album.

Travers & Appice - It Takes A Lot Of Balls

good god

my eyes

Extraordinary.

YES

In addition to the extraordinary graphic design and typography, and the horrible pun, and the gratuitous half naked lady, I'm trying to figure out what is actually being done with the balls on that cover that "takes a lot of balls."

all those things you list "take a lot of balls" IMO

you need a lot of balls to drop that many balls

that's one of the best in months
the fact that it's Travers and Appice makes it perfect

This was seemingly also issued as "The Balls Album"

lol, that's the grossest song I've heard in a while

you liked it when soundgarden sang it

this is absurd, amazing

“Lock thread”, he typed, as a single tear of joy rolled down his cheek.

Tight cover, terrible title

Man Alive: Tight Cover, Terrible Title

came across aretha's "what you see is what you sweat" from '91 and thought of this thread immediately.

not very sweaty tbh

if Keith Sweat had used that title it'd be all time
