Awful puns/neologisms as album titles

Music criticism edition:
"White Blood Sells: Race and the White Stripes' Moment in the Sun"
"The Revolution Will Be Harmonized"
"Appropriate for Destruction"
"Remains of the Day-O"
"Imperfect Sound Forever"
"The Syncher, Not the Song: The Irresistible Rise of the Numa Numa Dance"
"Joy Division: An Ideal for Listening"

I still don't get "Tragic Kingdom" either.

Or is it supposed to be a play on "Magic Kingdom"?

believe so

well, they're from Anaheim too, so there's that

feel like I'm talking into the wind here

one supposes that if they were from Valencia they might've called the album Six Flags Tragic Mountain

The Presets - Apocalypso
Van Halen - OU812

still don't understand how 'take off your pants and jacket' is a pun

Take Off Your Pants and Masturbate

oh ok that doesnt cross the channel very well

Looks like somebody needs a chunnel!

snoop's first album title is classic, wtf

Take Off Your Pants and Masturbate

This should be the real album title ^^

Would be A+++

Especially if it were a Radiohead album.

One I genuinely like is The 25th of May - Lenin & McCarthy. No better title for a group of scouse Marxists.

lovely album.
crap title.

PREGNANT PAUSE
A beautiful selection of New Age harp music by Cheryl Gallagher especially created for relaxation, enjoyment, and stress relief during pregnancy, child-birth, lactation, and as an aid in parenting and child development. Pregnant Pause is an excellent childrens' product, a perfect baby gift, and an excellent calming influence for both mothers and children during high-stress times such as car rides, bed time, and the pre-dinner blues.

Nick Lowe - Bowi

This one is a little too clever for its own good. If you recall David Bowie had an album come out in '77 called Low, so this is was response to that. Just for reference, his greatest hits collection was called something like 16 All-Time Lowes. He does have an album called The Abominable Showman, which was pretty true to its title.

Some of my favorites:
Let's Wrestle - In the Court of the Wrestling Let's: Definitely one of the most awkward puns (?) of all time
The Orb - too many to count: U.F. Orb, Orbsessions, Orbus Terrarum, Orblivian, etc. etc.
Deathray Davies - just the name of the band is a pretty neat/awful pun
Kinks - All their early albums - Kinkdom, Kinda Kinks, Kink-Size, the Kink Kontroversy, huh huh huh

...as the Rumour's Max was a response to the 'Macs Rumours

it took me like a year to get Take Off Your Pants And Jacket

Take off your pants and jack it??

Neil Young: Le Noise

Produced by Daniel Lanois

How about Licensed To Ill?

Although I kinda like that one.

Don't forget the Boston band Green, who released an album called "R.E.M."

Yeah Take Off Your Pants and Jacket took a little bit for me too, I just remember seeing the video on MTV a lot and just one day thinking, "what an odd album title...oh"

drukQs

I don't get "drukQs"

Ads around glasgow at present for -

Red hot chilli pipers - Music for the kilted generation

http://www.redhotchillipipers.co.uk/MusicForTheKiltedGeneration/tabid/98/Default.aspx

Fun-Da-Mental had a couple of terrible ones:
With Intent to Pervert the Cause of Injustice
All Is War (The Benefits of G-Had)

I had Mercury Rev's "Yerself Is Steam" for years before the "I see what you did there" moment - not that awful given some of the examples here.

I don't get "drukQs"

"drug use"

Another one from a terribly-named band: Propagandhi - Supporting Caste

A brutally bad one from The Steppes. Love the band but ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Thanks. I tried saying "drukQs" aloud several times and never managed to hear it. Now I don't get "Yerself is Steam." (I *did* get the Blink 182 one right off the bat, though. I don't think that's actually their joke, FWIW).

The band name "The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy"

(who, accoring to their Wikipedia page, were associated by genre with others of the time, including House of Pain and Pop Will Eat Itself!

Now I don't get "Yerself is Steam."

"your self esteem"

never mind album titles, what about band names - King L being one i like to remember whenever i need a laugh.

Vapors - New Clear Days (refuse to pick up this lp despite hearing it's decent as I can't get past the name)
Snoop - Malice N Wonderland (*yaaawn*)
Will Smith - Willenium (....)

Vapors - New Clear Days (refuse to pick up this lp despite hearing it's decent as I can't get past the name)

Hah way to beat me by 9 seconds!

You snooze, you lose.

Don't forget the Boston band Green, who released an album called "R.E.M."

They're from Chicago!

(I used to work with the lead singer.)

fits adjacently but i always get a smile out of beaucoup fish's uk-centric working title: tonight matthew, i'm going to be underworld. a hyper online producer shrouded in "y2k aesthetics" may wish to revive that one.
