Terrible Album titles!!

[Clatty McCutcheon]

On a different planet musically speaking but Stevie Wonder's 'Fulfillingness' First Finale' is a clunky title and a half.

Take Off Your Pants and Jacket
Dookie

'...In Spite of Harry's Toenail' by Gnidrolog

[TheMonk]

The Road to Hell: Part 2

[niat]

Mew - No More Stories Are Told Today, I'm Sorry They Washed Away. No More Stories, The World Is Grey, I'm Tired, Let's Wash Away

is a bit of a mouthful.

[Beagle 2]

This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours always dismayed me, I know it's a Nye Bevan quote but it's a shit one and for me renders all of his political achievements futile.

[Terence Bowl]

'13 songs' by Fugazi

just lacking imagination innit
banger album tho

That would be a better title if it didn't have 13 songs on it.



Good - When the album is named after a line in one of the songs.
Dark Side of the Moon, Nighthawks at the Diner etc.

Shite - When the album is cynically named after the hit single (usually done by the label I know, they'd be as well just calling it 'This One You Morons')
Wicked Game, Paranoid etc. 

Mega Shite - When an album has an unexpected hit single and they use it as the title of the next album even though that song isn't on it.
No examples as no matter how I phrase it google just keeps throwing up irrelevant pish but I'm fairly sure it's happened at least once or twice but can't remember the bands or albums.

Cant think of a "title track" that came out BEFORE rather than after the album (like Houses of the Holy and Sheer Heart Attack)

I can't remember where I read this now but I think Wonder actually titled it Fulfillingness's First Finale which is even worse, and this was included on the album cover design but later corrected by, I dunno THE MAN or something. Hence why now the cover has an unusual gap between the first two words where the extra "s" was blanked out. I'm a sucker for getting irritated by little design flaws and the fact they didn't bring the words closer together and realign the title properly does my head in.

If that's true then Stevie's version would have been the correct one.

Those awful hipster knowing ones like

"This is an album of 12 songs by the Rock and Roll band the Black Keys"

Or whatever those tiresome cunts called it

[Egyptian Feast]

Noel Gallagher has a live album called The Dreams We Have as Children, his last couple were called Who Built The Moon? and Council Skies, plus I'll assume he came up with Heathen Chemistry and the misquote mentioned earlier. He has a Corganesque genius for coming up with laughably shit titles (not forgetting his songs, such as 'AKA...What A Life!').

[badaids]

All self-titled albums.
Just a total lack of imagination.

Provided Tindersticks get a pass.

[Egyptian Feast]

And Jacques Dutronc, for taking the absolute piss with the amount of them he released.

I bet Stevie hit the roof when he saw that, etc etc

But seriously though, that font suggests it might be GIBBON TIME!!

[PaulTMA]

There must be someone on here who has listened to all three of the albums titled 'Life' by Inspiral Carpets, Simply Red and The Cardigans, and if so can you tell us which shines the most light on the subject

[PaulTMA]

Peasants, Pigs And Astronauts was a dreadful name for Kula Shaker's second album, but Peas, Ants, Pigs And Astronauts would have been worthy of Gong.  They fucked it

[curiousoranges]

I assume we've had "Do You Like Rock Music?" by British Sea Power.

Sometimes I Might Be Introvert

[The Culture Bunker]

"I've Got My Own Album To Do" by Ronnie Wood.

[Egyptian Feast]

Fanx Ta'Ra by Sad Cafe is a shit title made even worse by the album cover.



Is the back cover implying that the entire band is leaving her flat or have they been waiting outside for their mate all this time (3 minutes)?

[markburgle]

"I've Got My Own Album To Do" by Ronnie Wood.

That's reminded me of another shit one of his - "Not For Beginners". At the time he was like "yeah, cos it's not for beginners this, it's proper next level shit".

Just had a quick listen and, yeah, it's boring

[thelittlemango]

I've always hated Elbow's 'Build A Rocket Boys!', the exclamation mark, the word 'boys' as if they're a bunch of salt of the earth lads working away in a hanger, all of it. Hate it.

The guy on the front isn't in the band (6 men listed in the credits, 6 men on the stairs, none of whom are wearing a silly denim hat), so perhaps they're waiting to chin him? But why they're all looking in different directions is a curious one.

There must be someone on here who has listened to all three of the albums titled 'Life' by Inspiral Carpets, Simply Red and The Cardigans, and if so can you tell us which shines the most light on the subject

There's also "Life" by Life, so if anyone's nailed it, one would assume it was them.
