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.

Deep Purple- Whoosh!

This is from ‘99, but has the right spirit:

Ray Rachels - If Love Was Money I'd Be On Relief (1977)

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)

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.

This one isn't even out yet! Points deducted for not placing the album title inside a voice bubble.

My high school's theater teacher, Donal Leace, just passed away. He was also a noted folk singer and onetime Atlantic recording artist (and also a former Freedom Rider and just all around awesome guy). We used to clown his album titles, so, in loving memory, I post them here

https://img.discogs.com/p1X4FUKCRwYLNvFH4kDDa7qEiqg=/fit-in/271x242/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-4041930-1353289702-3933.gif.jpg

https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51wDdvoc9SL.jpg

also worth posting his s/t even though it has no horrible title

Commiserations. An appearance in this thread is a great tribute though!

I never knew until today that a track off his s/t was sampled by Kanye

RIP, sounds like an amazing guy

just looked him up on Spotify and he appears (the song "Today Won't Come Again") on Fatboy Slim's 2020 Back to Mine DJ mix album!

Also taught Dave Chappelle I might add

That s/t just looks like it'll be a decent record without listening to it. And Leace Renewed is truly a total gem.

I am loving the hell out of his shirt on s/t

RIP. He makes an interesting appearance here: https://www.songwriteruniverse.com/roberta-flack-interview-2020.htm

Oh I see. They were both teachers as well. She helped him get signed and they performed on each other’s records, think she produced and arranged some of his.

Jomo & The Possum Posse: Take A Number, Satan

FP'd for astroturfing

late 80's style:
Ministry - The Mind Is A Terrible Thing to Taste

Incredible.

As this thread has long since developed way beyond the 70s, I just thought marillion.com deserves a mention.

There is also Limp Bizkit's quite failed attempt at making an album title as cool as "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness". "Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water" does belong here now.

Whoa!

I came across this book title and thought of this thread:
"Interested? Read it! Three tales and brief verse" (Polish: "Ciekawyś? Przeczytaj! Trzy powiastki i wierszyk ulotny"; 1857)

The Open Mind of John D. Loudermilk:
