Great LP titles

Posted by: Diccus62 on 16 September 2006

Has anyone got any music with titles (not just LP titles) that really stand out for whatever reason be it humourous, surreal, crazy or just cool.

I'll start if anyone can be boshed.

Yo La Tengo's new album started me thinking

I AM NOT AFRAID OF YOU AND I WILL BEAT YOUR ASS

OTHERS.................

Manic Street Preachers - If you tolerate this your children will be next
or as i called it If you tolerate this your children will shop at Next

Not sure if these count, but two I immediately thought of after reading your post are...

The Album of the Soundtrack of the Trailer of the Film of Monty Python and the Holy Grail

and...

Monty Python's Contractual Obligation Album

Only then did I realise who had started the thread - nice one Biggus!

Out of interest (and showing my ignorance) when does that date from - I remember it cropping up on an edition of I'm Sorry I haven't a Clue in a round of 'missed hits' some years ago.
