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

This shows how the ideal horrible album title had changed from the 70s to the 90s.

I've been tempted to start a "Horrible '90s album titles like Fush Yu Mang" thread, but enough of that gets covered here too.

In the 80s, no-one wanted to be silly so they gave albums horrible titles like Journeys to Glory.

The covers of "Stunt," "Born on a Pirate Ship" and "Maroon" aren't bad. The covers of "Gordon" and "Silverball," on the other hand, are dreadful.

I beg to differ. Stunt is especially ugly in that 90s alterna way

I guess all that cocaine didn't help, eh.

One for the "love/hate" or maybe just "love" pile?

That's one of my old ones but the thread has been going for almost ten years now.

Still don't know what the cover is all about though.

hah sorry, should have checked. Yes I can't see anything to do with buzzards there.

Cool.

The admission ("no buzzards here") in that insert/ad is hilarious.

Of course he’s the kind of guy who likes ferrets.

Stray Dog: While You're Down There

That Stillwater sleeve looks like something from the 90s.

1978, released on Capricorn Records

Sorry I wasn't commenting on it being thread-worthy or not... It just looks not-of-its-time.

Agreed, it’s totally ‘90s! Even the typography

I don’t find this mentioned (via Ctl-F), apologies if it’s a repeat:

Well Thats That

A one-off 1978 release by That's That, it would seem. Local functions band if you ask me. Dorset-based? I wouldn't be surprised.

Would have been a good idea for him to put out a record of new songs on a yearly basis, but use the same title and cover design every time.

saw this in a charity shop the other day, was tempted to buy it for the cover alone
