Horrible album titles that pun on the artist's name

Spinoff from the "I've Got My Own Album to Do" thread. This should be a nearly infinite goldmine of groaners. The 70s (again) was the heyday for this, but def bonus points for any entries from the post-punk world.

Let's kick it off with a debut album whose title must cause a [url="http://www.allmusic.com/album/whole-oats-mw0000650229";]stomach-churning regret[\url] every time Daryl & John remember it.

Dammit.

I think Kihn Family Christmas isn't a pun...

Mickey Jupp - Juppanese

also, not an album title, but this is an ad for another of Jupp's records:

it seems a wasted opportunity that Lowe only ever did one of these, he could have taken it to Greg Kihn levels if he'd tried

Mael Intuition - The Best of the Sparks 1974-76

I quite like that one - as well as continuing the 'mael' pun, I guess the fan could be seen as a callback to the cover of 'Kimono My House' (which much be their best known album in UK by some margin)?

It's a matter of profound regret, for the purposes of this thread at least, that he and Georgie Fame didn't call their duo album The Price of Fame. Instead they called it Fame & Price/Price & Fame/Together, which is a bit of a mouthful.

And I still can't believe that Roger Daltrey and Wilko Johnson didn't call their collaborative effort Roger Wilko.

Our Mann Flute is masterful.

Not a pun on his name but he has an album called "Et Tu Fluté".

Horrible album titles that pun on another artist's name

http://i.imgur.com/C2KJJnM.jpg

(also, one track is called 'Too Punk Shakur')

further sidetrack- that band Joanna Gruesome bugs/mystifies me... is there any other example of a band with a name that's a pun on a contemporary artist?

Mingus Ah-Um
Mingus Dynasty

Mingus loved to put his surname in his album titles.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/12/Charles_Mingus_Mingus_Mingus_Mingus_Mingus_Mingus.jpg

so nice he named twice five times

Mingus album names aren't puns tho, are they?

Not that I can make out

Mingus Ah Um = us, ah, um (Latin verb conjugations)
Mingus Dynasty = Ming Dynasty (ancient China)

Doh, Mingus Dynasty

Off the top of my head, Joanna Newsome & the Ys Street Band.

that was just the title of an EP and it was a pun on the artist's own name. i mean a separate band with a name that's a pun on a separate contemporary artist

There's a surprise.

It's not a pun on the artist's name, it's a pun on another band's name combined with the title of one of her albums.

Seems awfully complex for a pun.

can't find a bigger image but the joke there is that he is holding a ridiculously oversized odd-colored drink with smoke coming out of it

Also works on the other thread, well done

also features the classic shirtless + overalls + fedora combo, when is that gonna come back into style (and where the fuck did it come from in the first place)

Christopher Milk was John Mendelsohn's band ('60s-'70s freelance writer for RS, Creem, a few others, mostly famous for shitting on the first two Zep records).

wait so that's not *actually* a dude's name? lame

I think they may have been known as The Christopher Milk at one point. Which is somehow a much worse name.

Listening to them now for the first time. Not terrible, but it sounds exactly how you'd imagine a band led by a Kinks- and Move-obsessed American anglophile rock critic in the early '70s to sound.

I'm sold.

Joe Sample - Sample This

I guess it's not so horrible, really... I mean, with a name and a career like his, it was almost inevitable he'd release an album with this title.

George Duke - Dukey Treats

That one has always confused me... Is "Dukey treats" a pun on some pre-existing term, or did he simply add his name as a qualifier, like in his song from the '70s, "Dukey Stick"?

Dog treats -> "doggy treats" -> Dukey treats?

Wasn't the first thing that came to my mind...

I mean, it's even made of chocolate.

That's not chocolate...

I'm afraid it's a pun on dookie (in the American sense).

Guy spent too much time in Frank Zappa bands obviously.

No doubt

He even has a certain kind of grin on the cover.

Very good album tho! If you have never listened to “My Lady” you should rectify asap.

Secombe one is IMPRESSIVE

Agreed! Also, that Pete Best cover is legally actionable.

yeah the secombe one is great.

At first glance, I thought Secombe was carrying a sawn-off shotgun.

Phil Keaggy ‎– Ph'lip Side

unforgivable

Crikey.

crossbar on the H is so thin i can't even see it; was trying to figure out what the fuck PII'LIP SIDE meant

woooof

but then he came back with this, a live double album of his 2006 (?) Swiss tour, a Switzerland-only release:

https://image.jimcdn.com/app/cms/image/transf/dimension=1820x1280:format=jpg/path/se78601c8423d63e9/image/i7f5679582f8b545e/version/1548420352/image.jpg

I want to believe that’s a brilliant pun, either by him or his Swiss fandom, and not some kind of mistake

🖼

"Ph'lip" -- you know, that way people are always pronouncing Philip.

I actually have a friend whose name is Philip, and his pals call him Flip

https://www.kaegi.com/en/

oooh, that's the stuff! the Schweizerdeutschness of “Kägi” was brilliant enough in itself, but this adds another sweet layer of Swissness to it. the pun is most definitely intended.

does seem most likely that it’s a fan-made thing tho, since this album has all the looks of a bootleg. it is mentioned on Keaggy’s Wikipedia page, but neither his website nor Discogs lists it.

I can only find it here, “the biggest Christian lp/mc/cd (web)shop of the German-speaking world”, where it’s status is “currently unavailable”:
https://www.bensound-musikshop.com/ccm/solisten-ccm/phil-keaggy/

A brilliant pun would be “Phil-lections”.

his classical album: Philharmonics and Philigrees
his christmas album: Keaggy Eleison (probably too blasphemic for him tho)

oh yes, songs like “Can’t Fight This Feeling”, “Keep On Loving You”, “Roll With The Changes”, “Ridin’ The Storm Out” and hell, “Blazin’ Your Own Trail Again” would finally come to full fruition when done by Mr Orall Fixation.
