Best album titles... in the world ever!
Posted by: Kevin-W on 02 July 2015
I thought I'd get the ball rolling with this one. Nicely self-deprecating and very timely considering today's sad news:
perhaps familiarity makes this seem a strange choice, but it's a great title.

The Modest Mouse discography is consistent with quirky album titles
This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About
Good News for People Who Love Bad News
The Lonesome Crowded West
We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank
Strangers to Ourselves
More Never is Enough
These titles always amuse me:
The Lone Deranger
Bread and Buddha
West Eats Meet
If I could Do It All Over Again I'd Do It All Over You
One of my all-time favourites: Cliff Barnes & the Fear of Winning - Guns, Love and a Cactus in your Heart
Yes Excellent
May I just say that your avatar Wat makes me want to say "Gamma Rays On, Yobba Rays On," in the huskiest Russian accented voice I can manage as Space Patrol prepares for another mission.
I have always been amused by Deana Carter's 'Did I shave my legs for this?'
Music quality aside, and maybe not THE best ever, but this always made me smile ....
'Talking With The Taxman About Poetry'-Billy Bragg.
Love it.
Any good..?
The Jesus and Mary Chain: The Power of Negative Thinking.
Although it is a collection, not an album.

Love it.
Any good..?
Blooming awful, Richard. Just a bit of fun as expected with a title like like that and nothing too serious.
One that has always amused me
'Talking With The Taxman About Poetry'-Billy Bragg.
Contains two of my favourite lyrics, too...
"With the money from her accident, she bought herself a mobile home..."
&
"How can you lie there and think of England when you don't even know who's on the team..."
Of course, 20 Jazz-Funk Greats is one of the greatest album titles ever (as anyone who knows anything about TG will know, it is also one of the least-appropriate titles ever)
And there's also Tacky Souvenirs of Pre-Revolutionary America by Culturecide:
And then there's Funk Beyond The Call of Duty by the mighty JGW:
Goddamit, gonna have to play it now...
Almost any Caravan album title could make it on this list, but I'd plump for:
'If I Could Do It All Over Again I'd Do It All Over You'.
It's a great album too.
Wat,
Slightly off topic (being song rather than album titles) but I am inspired to recall these two by HMHB:
All I Want For Christmas Is A Ducla Prague Away Kit
I Was A Teenage Armchair Honved Fan
Magnificent band. As John Peel said: "In a decently ordered society, members of Half Man Half Biscuit would be routinely carried shoulder high through the streets of every city they visited."
