What's the greatest album title of all time?

Hey y'all.... I'm bored!

I was just listenening to some tunes and was contemplating the question - What's the greatest album title of all time? Seems like an easy enough question, but I've been struggling to come up with more than 1 or 2 suggestions! Can you guys help me out?!? Here's the best I have come up with:

Frank Zappa - Sheik Yerbouti

Lefty

 

Another Zappa one:

"Ship arriving too late to save a drowning witch" (which is even funnier when you see the album cover:

This Is Our Punk Rock, Thee Rusted Satellites Gather And Sing, by The Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band With Choir.

Hairway To Steven, by Butthole Surfers.

Songs About F*cking, by Big Black.

Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennae To Heaven, by Godspeed You Black Emperor.

Avant Hard, by Add N to X.

-- Ian

 

longest album title i know is by fiona apple, and it's called "When the pawn hits the conflicts he thinks like a king what he knows throws the blows when he goes to the fight and he'll win the whole thing 'fore he enters the ring there's no body to batter when your mind is your might so when you go solo, you hold your own hand and remember that depth is the greatest of heights and if you know where you stand, then you know where to land and if you fall it won't matter, cuz you'll know that you're right."

 

How about any of the "Now That's What I Call Music" titles?

Oh the irony.

 

Blimey - and I thought these 2 were long!

Tyrannosaurus Rex - My People Were Fair and Had Sky In Their Hair But Now They're Content To Waer Starts On Their Brows

Happy Mondays - Squirrel And G-Man Twenty Four Hour Party People Plastic Face Carnt Smile (White Out)

Cheers

This surprisingly delicate and slightly folky indie band managed, via their inspired choice of band name, to come up with some truly wonderful album titles. I especially like the titles 'Pardon My French', 'Those Are Not My Bongos' and 'Cupid's Cactus'.

Tony.

 

PS The automated net nanny is preventing the link working, it is www.f*ck.addr.com/html/discography.html but without the '*'.

 

Another Zappa nomination - "Weasels Ripped My Flesh". It also happens to be one of the finest album covers too:



Matt.

 

The Soundtrack Of Our Lives -
"II (An extended revelation for the psychic weaklings of the western civilization)"

Lee 'Scratch' Perry + Dub Syndicate -
"Time Boom x De Devil Dead"

Flux Of Pink Indians -
"The F*cking C*nts Treat Us Like Pricks, The F*cking Pricks Treat Us Like C*nts"

The Flaming Lips -
"Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots"

Funkadelic -
"Free Your Mind And Your Ass Will Follow"

BowWowWow -
"See Jungle! See Jungle! Go Join Your Gang Yeah, City All Over! Go Ape Crazy!"

 

Some more....

Kirsty MacColl - Electric Landlady

London Elektricity - Billion Dollar Gravy

Mr Oizo - Analog Worms Attack

Album titles are all irrelevant shite imho, but Trouble Over Bridgewater by Half Man Half Biscuit always makes me laugh.

As does Mwng by Super Furry Animals, because I don't know if I should try to pronounce the 'w' or not.

 

Phats & Small: "Now Phats what I Small Music" - always makes me laugh

Michael.

 

Beer and Sex and Chips and Gravy - from those masters of the subtle - The Macc Lads.
cheers


julian.

 

I think it's a single rather than an album but this one has great titles for both sides and also comes from one of the best named artists ever.

 

I Ought to Give You a Shot in the Head for Making Me Live in This Dump - Shivaree

 

Sadly, it's a crap record. Which is a shame, it really ought to be good.

-- Ian

 

The Butthole Surfers have 'Electric Larryland', any more variants? The original is obviously a contender for the overall title.

'Shut up and play your guitar'. The original UK release of 'Ship...' came with a 7 inch single extracted from 'Shut up...', the latter was the second Zappa set I ever bought, found in the bargain bins for very little money.

Paul

 

FCUK me Ridgid, by the Pecker heads

 

Surely should be 'FCUK me flacdig'?
