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.
― Halfway there but for you, Wednesday, 27 April 2022 00:51 (two years ago) link
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.
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Wednesday, 27 April 2022 00:53 (two years ago) link
I beg to differ. Stunt is especially ugly in that 90s alterna way
