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.

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.

Special circle of hell for gatefold punchline "jokes," between that and Jo Jo Gunne and "Did He Fall..." it's just an awful cavalcade of failure.

Hudson Brothers seems like it's going for a live-action version of one of these: post movie posters done in a busy/claustrophobic caricature style from the 70s and 80s - lookit all these wacky characters! It's a mad, mad, mad, mad album! But you just can't convey the same density of little heads in this format. And yeah, uh, the Klansman. No thanks.

If I were to check out only one Phil Everly solo record above, which should it be? "Phil's Diner" is the most appealing I gotta say...just a nice guy on a road trip getting a kick out of seeing his name on a sign...
