"Special thanks from the band to Cliff Richard"
― Master of Treacle, Friday, 12 December 2014 20:39 (nine years ago) link
Great lineup of titles there too. "We Sure Do," "Not Afraid to Rock 'n' Roll"...
― Doctor Casino, Friday, 12 December 2014 20:55 (nine years ago) link
The connection to Cliff Richard is that this Garth Hewitt guy was a sort of Christian rocker, though the thing is really messing with my head is that Bryn Haworth plays on the album too and I thought HE was Garth Hewitt (and vice versa).

Oh, hold on, it gets worse, I just checked Bryn Haworth on wiki and he's a Christian too.

I came across this one yesterday and thought of this thread.

Yeah this seems rubbish when the Chameleons do it imo
better the 70s stalwart.

I have consciously avoided ever hearing that band because of their album titles.

I'm more likely to listen to a Cardiacs album tbh.

None of these seem egregiously of this thread, but given how superfluous a Phil Everly solo career already seems to me, they're kinda tickling me.

feel like there should be a top ten groan-worthy titles. That one and the Caravan would make my list.

Of course, 'Acquiring the Taste' is not in and of itself an outright horrible title, but when coupled a cover depicting the thinnest of thinly veiled allusions to salad tossing it adds up to a true prog grossout as only could have been produced in the 70s.

I put the prog titles in a whole different group from most of what we've seen in this thread.

The album cover has some innuendo in that it is made to look like a tongue licking an anus. However, when opened completely, it is actually a tongue licking a peach.

Gentle Giant's album concepts improved remarkably when they moved on from peach licking to extremely mundane stuff like "whatever happened to our buddies in school?" and "what if we did a whole album about interviews?" Plus the great Watergate record & the failed relationships record.
x-post --- I was trying and failing to post a pic of Stiller & Meara's comedy album with the title "Laugh When You Want." Are they saying we can play this "comedy album" anytime we want? An adventure like this is unheard of in the 20th century.

you can laugh when you want to. you can leave your friends behind.
