Worst Album Names Ever
 

What albums have titles that make it sound like it would be awful to you, or what album titles do not fit the feel of the album at all?

Ultra Beatdown by Dragonforce comes to mind.

I think Ultra Beatdown is fine..

The hands down winner

R Kelly - Chocolate Factory

An army of comedy writers couldn't do better.

In Rainbows is pretty lame, far as names go.

Checking through my library of music I couldn't find any terrible album names, however one which invites tremendous facepalm occured to me:
Wishbone Ash's instrumental album "Noveau Calls" comes to mind, solid enough album, but say it out loud.

Combichrist - Joy Of Gunz

^^ The album art certainly rectified In Rainbows' shortcomings. And its music.

I personally hate unimaginative and cliched album names (think: Zeitgeist, The Final Cut, etc.). It helps if they suck, too.

Totally agree, I actually have it as my desktop background. :D


Really? I think it's the best album name theyve had.


Anyway, I remember once going through my girlfriend's mom's cd collection and finding Shock'n Y'all by Toby Keith. The fact that he actually used the word "ya'll" just makes me gag. Also the names to Cannibal Corpse albums are utterly laughable with names like Butchered at Birth and Eaten Back to Life. And of course who could forget Limp Bizkit's Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water?

?????

Wild Like Children- Tilly & The Wall. The music is great; the title is not. The only thing worse than the hokey title is the amazingly hideous artwork.

Dancing With Tears In My Eyes- Ultravox. Awful title for an awful song by an awful group (and the title of an awful compilation).

Real Live- Bob Dylan. Huh?

Tracks- Bruce Springsteen. An imaginative title that proves that Brucie remains creative well into his third decade.

Greatest Hits, The Best Of ___, Live At _____, The Essential ____, etc. Come on!

There are whole load of Bo Diddley album titles I could think of, such as 'Go Bo Diddley', 'Bo Diddley In the Spotlight', 'Bo Diddley Is a Gunslinger' and, lest we forget, 'Bo Diddley Is a Lover'

A lot of Leonard Cohen album titles (like 'Songs From a Room', 'Songs Of Leonard Cohen' and 'Ten New Songs') aren't really very imaginative but all that's more than made up for by some brilliant lyrics

And then there's David Bowie's 'Let's Dance'. Iggy Pop's 'Party' comes to mind too

'V is for Vagina'

The beatles - a hard days night
Ringo stupid waster

Fiona Apple - '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'll Know Where to Land and If You Fall It Won't Matter, Cuz You Know That You're Right'.




Yes thats the title of the album

thats more awesome than awful
its a fine line

Saliva - Every 6 Seconds.

God I used to love this band. I am so ashamed.

It is indeed a fine line.

I'm undecided about this one.

The Butthole Surfers - Hairway to Steven

Limp Bizkit - Chocolate Starfish and the Hotdog Flavored Water

Ah c'mon, that's genius :D

Seconded!

I also appreciate White Light White Heat White Trash (Social Distortion).

Any of the Limp Bizzzzzkit albums
Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water....c'mon...we get it, it's dirty and 12 year olds will buy it at Wal-Mart.

I thought the other album name by Dragonforce was pretty ridiculous, Inhuman Rampage.

umm not even going to admit how i know this one.. but maybe it didnt make it

coolio
still hear

Any album made by Dragonforce is going to have a ridiculous name. They are a bunch of jokes that were playing Dungeons and Dragons and go: "Hey lets make a band where we just sing about D&D, people will totally buy that"

Hooray for Boobies

/thread

Who wouldn't think that's awesome?

Non-Retards.

Well that's not a very wide audience nowadays.

"Let It Bleed". Gah.

Come Taste the Band- Deep Purple

Rofl, come on. That was totally genius.

I love how Limp Bizkit has been mentioned three times, since it was the first thing to come to mind for me.

Askylit Drive's Wires and the Concept of Breathing is pretty bad in my opinion.

"Greatest Hits"

It annoys me to no end when they get grouped together in iTunes. I think that problem was fixed in one of the recent versions though.

Two tips:

1) Don't use iTunes

2) Edit the album name to Miley Cyrus-Greatest Hits rather than Greatest Hits - Miley Cyrus Her 100 Greatest Singles

Do you always have to scare the n00bs like that Toe? :rofl:

Scare? Two very valuable tips there.

Sorry scare wasn't the right word. I was reffering to the Miley Cyrus joke, unles you were just using it as an example.

Yes I was joking, I meant to type 50, not 100!

Lol.

I almost forgot:
Carnivorous Erection

Sounds dangerous.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness - Smashing Pumpkins
