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

I hope that Glenn Frey cover has been xposted to the "Pics of artists looking smug" thread (isn't that a thing?)

It is.

I keep seeing adverts for Tion Wayne's Green With Envy on the tube and it reminds me of this thread.

just saw a Discogs listing for I've Got My Own Album to Do where the seller, clearly exhausted amidst a listing marathon, missed the visual 'joke' on the cover.

solid VG media. sleeve has sharpie over "S" in woods and cut corner 🔥**$5 UNLIMITED FLAT RATE SHIPPING IN THE UNITED STATES.** NEW RECORDS ADDED EVERYDAY**🔥

Just realized there a song called “Crotch Music” on that album.

this isn't strictly in line with the thread but i saw this and thought it should be shared with those who might appreciate it

It’s been a lifetime of searching - but I believe I’ve discovered the world’s worst song title pic.twitter.com/byIHOLikjT

big Wikipedia discovery: The Canadian hardcore band SNFU's discography is a treasure trove of album titles

...And No One Else Wanted to Play (1985)
If You Swear, You'll Catch No Fish (1986)
Better Than a Stick in the Eye (1988)
Something Green and Leafy This Way Comes (1993)
The One Voted Most Likely to Succeed (1995)
FYULABA (1996)
In the Meantime and In Between Time (2004)
Never Trouble Trouble Until Trouble Troubles You (2013)
Live albums

Let's Get It Right the First Time (1998)
...And Yet, Another Pair of Lost Suspenders (2019)
Compilations

The Last of the Big Time Suspenders (1992)

an impressive body of work!

"An Impressive Body of Work" would make a good best-of title. Maybe with a picture of a skeleton holding a Strat.

Or a big woman in a bikini, idk.

afraid to ask what SNFU stands for (not to mention FYULABA)

These have probably been cited, but Boston hardcore band Gang Green countered Van Halen's OU812 with I81B4U.

Society's No Fuckin' Use

Situation Normal: FUCKED UP

at least it's not ALL fucked up tho

situation the fuck up

wiki sez society's no fucking use and apparently "Fuck You Up Like a Bad Accident"

this is the only thread where Barbara Markay chat is happening, just wanna say after seeing "Give Your Dick To Me" appear on one of those "Worst Album Covers" I decided to look it up on YouTube and it's such a wonderfully catchy disco song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zE4KowTk0C4

she has another one called "It's All Rite To Fuck All Nite", which is also awesome. the censored version is called "It's All Rite To Truck All Nite". how great is that??

I looked her up to see what she's doing today and apparently she's a New Age spiritual healer. her personal phone number is listed on her website! no mention of her early singles though.

via discogs:

American pianist and composer, born and raised on Long Island, New York. Started taking piano lessons when she was four and was awarded a scholarship to attend the Juilliard School of Music’s Preparatory Division when she was ten. Also studied violin later at the Manhattan School of Music.
She graduated with a Bachelor of Music degree in composition at the College Division of Juilliard.

A1 Eat Me
A2 It's Allrite To Fuck All Nite
A3 Huey's Bar

A6 The Mother Song
B1 Sessame Snatch
B2 Glass Ass
B3 On Long Island
B4 Give Your Flesh To Me

i got a cheap copy of 'it's all rite...' a few months back, it's great!

check her credits, she went on to write songs for michael bolton, carly simon and harry connick jr

there are actually a couple copies of Hot Box on Discogs. its not on Soulseek at all. I think I have to put in an offer for this. how else will I know what "Vibrator Blues" sounds like???

well there are track descriptions on the cover:

haha, enjoy!

ah fuck I should've crowdfunded it through that site on the vinyl scams thread!!!

lol the catalogue number is HOT BOX FU 2

frogbs i beg you for a ysi

I might have to figure out how to do it if indeed the album turns out to be good. I and I alone will make that judgment! It's my 15 dollars, ha ha ha!!!

She also was the brains behind this outfit:

FFS why can I never post images?

[ img ] url [ / img ]

but with no spaces

Yeah that's what I did. Wikipedia images never seem to work properly.

Or what I thought I did/meant to do.

Yeah and definitely what I did that time. And yes, it was the image URL ending .jpg and not a web page.

xpost oh ffs

Man, that's some atrocious cover design too, to the point that I almost like it. Horrible colors, weird graphic repetition, combination of two different ugly typefaces (fucking shadow on them too!) and the thing with "tra-la" being made to look like music notes -- actually I guess that's three typefaces.
