Horrible album titles that pun on the artist's name

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.

Peter Nero - Hail the Conquering Nero

that is killing me for some reason

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.

John Dawson Read: Read On

Could also go over in the 'Yawnsomely Literal' thread.

Buddy Rich, "Buddy & Soul"
+1 for one of the better puns in the Jazz pun subgenre
-10 for not actually doing Body & Soul on the record

Kaleidoscope - When Scopes Collide

King Promise has a bright future - you could say he's showing a lot of potential

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

Nigeria’s latest breakout star Omah Lay just dropped his first EP:

Yeah that's pretty bad, gotta hahnd it to him.

Pete Best - Best of the Beatles. You will note the cunning lack of his actual name on the front cover.

not an album, but deserves a mention:

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.

Comme se, comme saw

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
