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

Got picked up a box of curbside records yesterday and it contained a sealed copy of Glenn Frey's "No Fun Aloud" and I immediately thought of this thread.

I, not got.

lol that album is ridiculous. Partytown is an amazingly crass tune.

just read the lyrics without listening to it, picturing it all sardonically drawled out by donald fagen, and it kinda worked

Unfortunately Frey presents it as really bad wannabe Chuck Berry.

Yeah no there's no irony

On the fadeout of Partytown he says "Can you say monster?" which I'm guessing may stem from Joe Walsh's term "monstering" (hoovering up large amounts of coke) detailed in Kristin Casey's book Rock Monster.

(Well,) Yeah, 'Monster-ing' was Eagles slang for partying/getting fucked up. They even referenced it in a spin-out groove etching on at least one LP (and maybe even on No Fun Aloud).

Lovely bunch o' lads.

Essential Reading: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/the-eagles-hell-is-for-heroes-80954/

Henley and Frey emerge from the control room a little before midnight (six hours early by their standards) and announce it is monster time. To monster, in Eaglese, is to ingest mind-altering substances and behave like a beast. The Eagles measure monsterdom in quarters, as in, “I was only three-quarters monstered last night.” A combination of bass-drum thumps and long-neck Budweisers (short-necks don’t make it) have already pushed Henley and Frey to the half-monster mark.

Don: Well, yeah.

First things first I’ll eat your face

tramp - put a record on

That's going on the last page of color plates in the coffee table book of this thread

backing up a bit...

A combination of bass-drum thumps and long-neck Budweisers (short-necks don’t make it) have already pushed Henley and Frey to the half-monster mark.

this is really stupid.

Bob Siller - This Is Siller's Picture (1968)

lowest effort: the photo, the title, or his outfit?

Can't say, I haven't heard it yet.

Could’ve stood to get his hair done too

McKinley Mitchell: "I Won't Be Back For More"

talk about preemtively shutting the door on a long term career

idk, seems more respectable, long-term, than the "You'll Be Hearing More From Me!" school of these titles.

Cyburmusiq - They Slept On Me!


(a little more thought could have gone into this, I feel)

not an actual person sleeping ON another person

D-

exactly

Or someone lying on the couch, pressed into it, and with wrinkled clothes. I mean if you're gonna go there, go there.

I Cmd+F'd the whole thread and to my amazement this wasn't already here (unless it's just a picture with no title of course)

Jim Horn - Jim's Horn

Hmmm

it ain't even here by the looks of it: Horrible album titles that pun on the artist's name

it here: yawnsomely literal

good one to spread around the threads though. everyone should see it.

David Sancious - "Just As I Thought"

Even Ronnie Wood’s documentary has one of these titles: https://variety.com/2020/film/reviews/somebody-up-there-likes-me-review-ronnie-wood-1234774257/

'even ronnie wood'

To rephrase my point: the conceit isn’t confined to his LP titles.

The photo for Bob Siller - This Is Siller's Picture (1968) [see Aug. 1st post] looks like an outtake from Nick Lowe's Jesus of Cool/Pure Pop for Now People.

Cheap Trick - Woke Up with a Monster

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/6c/CheapTrickWokeUpWithAMonster.jpg

I'm sure this cover scares the hell out of some people that don't like clowns.

A couple of tweaks (stage blood or sparks) and you got a pretty good WASP album cover.
