Great Album Titles

[Guest Incandenza]

So is Fresh Fruits for Rotting Vegetables.

[Guest Kinetic]

I think it's the Buzzcocks who have an album called Singles Going Steady. I've always liked that title, for whatever reason.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

Gorgasm-Stabwound Intercourse.

 

That's about as close to the greatness of Necrobucket as you're gonna get.

[Guest Dmann2000]

Sounds of White Noise- Anthrax

[Guest LooseCannon]

allmusic.com lists them under the following labels: Post-Hardcore, American Underground, Noise-Rock, Indie Rock. I've heard nary a track by Big Black--I believe LooseCannon has this particular album, though--though I do have another Albini-led band's album, At Action Park, by Shellac. They're pretty f'n noisy.

I do in fact have this album, though outside of the title (and also some genius song titles), I don't think it has much going for it. I love Shellac and Rapeman, but Big Black just never did it for me. Too noisy, I think. But, Everyone *should* buy Shellac's 1000 hurts for the bubblegum bounce of such classic swinging tunes as "prayer to god," "squirrel song," and "canaveral." You'll thank yourself.

 

Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables is another mediocre album with a great title, though it does have the international smash hits "California Uber Alles" and "Holiday in Cambodia" on it, so it's not all mediocre. But do yourself a favor, pick up Give me Convenience or Give me death instead. That's one to play when your momma's not home, and you got bitches in the living room getting it on.

 

The Buzzcocks, by my reckoning, should have been forgotten like the many other mediocre punk bands of that era that actually have been forgotten. In fact, I can't fathom why they haven't been forgotten. They were just so inconsequential. Anyway, my point is, I have a strict policy of no selling posts that mention the-band-who-should-have-been-forgotten. Even posts that don't express any sort of praise for their "songs." Even Kinetic's.

 

Other good titles (or in other words, the point of the thread):

 

The Queen is Dead The Smiths

It takes a nation of millions to hold us back Public Enemy

Two nuns and a pack mule Rapeman

Steady Diet of Nothing Fugazi

Psychic, Powerless, another man's sac Butthole Surfers

Feeding the 5000 Crass

Christ the album Crass

Pinkerton Weezer --what can I say, I've always liked the title.

[Guest Incandenza]

I've always been fond of Fresh Fruit's "Viva Las Vegas" cover.

[Guest The Metal Maniac]

I can't believe I almost forgot this one...

 

Speak English or Die - SOD

[Guest TheyCallMeMark]

Haww I like "Songs For The Deaf". That just might be me though.

[Guest humanoid92]

Living Well Is The Best Revenge- Midtown

Save The World, Lose The Girl- Midtown

Yourself Or Someone Like You- Matchbox 20

[Guest LooseCannon]

I've always been fond of Fresh Fruit's "Viva Las Vegas" cover.

There're some other good tracks on there as well, but for the most part that album just falls asleep on me. Besides "Holiday in Cambodia" and "California Uber Alles" smoke just about anything else the Dead Kennedys ever recorded.

[Guest DawnBTVS]

Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill

Kid Rock - Devil Without A Cause

[Guest EricMM]

Goldfinger "Hang Ups" (the album had a bit of a phone motief, and was about all his emotional "hang ups"

I'm willing to get past my hatred for Marilyn Manson to admit that Antichrist Superstar is a fairly clever title.

Yeah, I see that now.

 

*smacks himself on the forehead*

[Guest Incandenza]

Still, you contributed some new titles, so all was not lost.

[Guest crandamaniac]

Can't say I've heard this album, or even know who sings it (damn my memory) but I've always liked the title "Bombay the Hard way"

[Guest LooseCannon]

"Blood Guts & Pussy" -- The Dwarves

I totally forgot about that one. With the cover of the two naked women and a naked Dwarf holding a rabbit and all of them covered in blood, it could compete with Big Black's songs about fucking for best title.
