Horrible 70s album titles like I've Got My Own Album To Do

"Thud and Blunder" is a brilliant entry in the "swapped first phonemes of two words" subgenre.

David Cassidy - Old Trick New Dog (1998)

I think of the Bobby Caldwell one as a somewhat iconic cover, but not sure if that's actually because it's visually striking, or just because it contains an iconic song/vocal performance. Otherwise does seem like a an album title in line with this thread.

Taylor & Stone, "A Million Light Beers Away"

Which, brings to mind this timeless classic from 2000 or something posts before but which I will never tire of posting...

Apparently, still more beers would clarify things.

Cheating a little, as I think this is from the early 80s, but still

Lindsay Butler - The Butler Did It!

Gary Glitter's Touch Me has to be the most revolting now.

Lindsay Butler forecasting the Win Butler solo album dialog way the hell upthread.

omg yes!

If I seized control of the US government I would force bands like Arcade Fire to do these kind of titles, like the whole band dressed in black and Win Butler dressed all in white, Arcade Fire - "There's One in Every Crowd"

Win Butler's second solo album, The ______ Did It (cover features Butler in the center of the frame, being pointed at by a number of 1920s rich people.)

hahahaha

Alternately, ''...You Mean, I Did It?!'' with the same setup, except Win's accusers are also clutching twelve-inch records.

^ don't think i ever want to hear their music, but these guys are a vibe

I want to hear their music.

OK, mind blown.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freddy_Moore

wow, i had no idea! also this:

Also in 1979, Moore (then 29) met 16-year-old Demi Guynes at a nightclub. Almost immediately, despite Moore's existing marriage, the two became a couple. The two moved in together while Guynes was still 16, and married a few months later in February, after Moore's divorce from Lucy was finalized and Guynes was 17

yeah, and when you said they were " a vibe" that's exactly the sorta vibe i was getting. yikes.

yeah i hate them now! can't even believe i was into them once upon a time, that whole 16 minutes just feels like a blur

lol but fr i laughed at their covers

despite Moore's existing marriage, is making me lol. Like if you're the kind that is good with a 16 yo I don't think the marriage is going to be much of an ethical concern.

B2 Old Fred Sings a Song 5:11

which one d'ya think "old fred" is?

my money's on guitarist in glasses to the right. is he wearing a cape?

that guy didn't make the cover of the album, poor old fred

The New Adventures of Old Fred

Another tidbit:

Skogie released a single in June 1972 with the help of producer/manager David Zimmerman (Bob Dylan's brother)

"i won't be pushed away"

They sound like a rougher Partridge Family

...so what am I so afraid of?

Wow - you buried the lead with that Freddy Moore pullquote(!):

Guynes became Demi Moore, and she continues to use that name.

damn... Demi Moore's childhood was super sad

Her memoir is a good read tbh

big fan of this cover:
