In this video, I share my favorite record album titles. This time, it's not about the music or the artwork or the sound quality, just the title of the albums.

"Intensities In 10 Cities", which also happens to be one of my all-time favorite album titles, is one of the few live albums that is not a "greatest hits live" package but a collection of previously unreleased songs recorded live in concert. That's why none of the hits are there. Ten songs, each one recorded in a different city, hence the album title. Not a huge favorite of mine, but I like it. Guitar World magazine placed it at the 9th spot in their "10 of the best live albums every rock fan needs to hear" list. Two other album titles that I love are Rush's "Moving Pictures" because of its triple entendre with the cover and back cover art, and Frank Zappa's "Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch", because that's what the minimalistic drawing on the album cover represents.

Another jukebox story, back in the late 60’s we used to eat at this White Castle in Jersey City. They had these mini jukebox’s on the counter. The b side of Sunshine of your Love “SWLABR” would stick right in the instrumental section of the song. We would play it and sit there eating and watch as one by one people would realize something was wrong. It would go on for 5 to 10 minutes sometimes.

Hi Robert, I dig your rants. My pals and I would go on like this back in the 20th century, which was a lot of fun. An album that reminds me of the early to mid 70’s the most is Rod Stewart’s, Never A Dull Moment from 1972 (I’m sure you’re probably familiar with this album). It was more organic than the T.Rex/Ringo big band boogaloo production style that was part of a lot of British music of that day. We would put this album on while working on the car in the yard, hearing great attitude from Ron Wood’s guitar. Anyways, appreciate the rants, keep them coming!

Some personal favorites: "You Bought It -- You Name It" by Joe Walsh (Is it any good? I've never heard it) "Psonic Psunspot" by The Dukes Of Stratosphear "A Woofer in Tweeter's Clothing" and "Kimono My House" by Sparks "Our Personal Favorite World-Famous Hits" by Daniel Amos (Never heard of them? That's why the title is funny) I think the last lime I ever heard anyone called a snot was in 1986 when my boss called me one because, apparently, I was being a smart aleck.

Talk about back skipping jukeboxes, in the Seventies at college, there was a Seeburg machine in the Student Union snack bar that repeated "Misty Blue" by Dorothy Moore. There was always some joker in the crowd who deliberately picked the tune. It was a nice song, but not fifteen times in a row. Problem solved by unpluging the jukebox.

I'm a big fan of the Ohio Players (music and album covers) and I think the entire package for 'Everybody Up' is my all time favorite. The album cover is pretty much typical for the Ohio Players, then you have the photo of the band on the inside of the gatefold, and to cap it off the music is incredible.

Great idea for a post! I can't believe REO's "You Can Tune A Piano..." didn't make your list. But seriously, folks . . . Re: Intensities in 10 Cities, it would have been repetitive to include most of the hits you mentioned, as they'd just been on his Gonzo live album 3 years before. But agreed - great title. Other titles I like: The Wonder Stuff - The Eight-Legged Groove Machine. Love this as a debut album title. Two albums later they'd add a 5th member, thus making the "8 Legged" part obsolete. The Smiths - Meat Is Murder. It was just something that, at the time, made me wonder "what is that about", and made me want to hear it and find out. Pretty bold. Two Kinks titles: (1) Face to Face - I just love the multiple possible meanings which could be applied to its collection of songs. It brought you face to face with the songs' various characters. Or, it was like a camera, moving from face to face of each of the characters. (2) Schoolboys In Disgrace - another title that just made me wanna get the album and find out what the hell it was about. The cover image didn't hurt either; any young boy coming across this one in the album racks thought "this looks like a pisser".

@@RobertFithen It won't make you forget "Tommy" or "The Wall" any time soon, but it is a clean, simple, entertaining narrative with some pretty good songs to boot (save one, "Education", which imo goes on way too long). Plus, it's semi-biographical, as it's based on when schoolboy Dave got his girlfriend pregnant. It also exposed barbaric British headmasters in song ("Headmaster", "The Hard Way") years before Pink Floyd or The Smiths did.

Maybe some examples would be: Van Halen - Fair Warning Rolling Stones - Exile On Main St. (They were also great with alliteration, like Between The Buttons and Beggars Banquet) Neil Young - Ragged Glory The Fall - This Nation's Saving Grace Nirvana - Bleach Tad - God's Balls Flaming Lips - Hear It Is (also Clouds Taste Metallic) And garage rockers The Gories have 1 of the coolest album titles: I Know You Fine, But How You Doin'

He really put a lot into them with his Deep Dives. I guess it's hard to average tens of thousands of views on here. It helps if you are a good looking woman. Lp collectors need 5,000 lps as much as they need 5,000 scissors. Only having just one lifetime don't cut it. They need more lifetimes to listen to all those lps they foolishly bought, enough times to really get into them.

The Rain Parade title came from these little yellow plastic signs you see in the BART train stations in the San Francisco Bay Area. Something to do with the third rail of the train. Matt Piucci got it directly from that. And that Ted Nugent album (which I've also never heard) is like REM's New Adventures in Hi-Fi. It's an album of all new material recorded live on tour, hence none of the classics. [Edit: looks like someone beat me to that last great nugget of knowledge!]

First albums that popped in to my head were comedy..."How Can You Be In Two Places At Once When You're Not Anywhere At All" (still play and love "Nick Danger") and "Waiting For The Electrician Or Someone Like Him" (haven't listened to in years), both by Firesign Theatre. "Single word" comedy album title that also came instantly to mind is "Revolting" by Congress of Wonders (Star Trip still gets listened too way more often than "Nick Danger"). As far as "music" examples, I'd have to pull and stack of albums and flip through them. The titles that come to mind are closely tied to the fact that I like and play the album. That said (referring back to your recent series) I have lots and lots of albums, mostly from the 80s, that have only had one or two songs played off of them (and those maybe a couple of times).

Firesign Theater could always be counted on for great album titles.

I’ve wondered about the title of Revolver. In my mind it’s a play on words. This was the time when the Beatles were changing their sound. I know people say they had two parts of their band history, but I’ve always thought of it as three; The early stuff, the later stuff and a small transitional two album period. The title Rubber Soul sounds like a beginning of a change. Change to the core. They were still evolving when they put out Revolver. But their sound went deeper than Rubber Soul. They evolved there and when they went deeper they revolved (or evolved again) for the sound they were looking for. I think after the debacle with the “We’re more popular than Jesus…” remark by John, I think they just didn’t want to use the word evolve. Not a popular word in the Bible Belt. I don’t know if that’s true or I just pulled that out of my butt, but that is my hypothesis.

Jeez. I can't figure out why so many people like Radiohead. That's one of the few bands I walked out on.

@kissterio it was at ACL Festival in like 2016 I think. Die Antwoord was there too, so I actually walked off during multiple bands. At least we had Willie Nelson that weekend!

I thought I liked OK Computer (maybe because I heard so many KZbinrs tell me that it was."mind-blowing"), but last time I listened to it I was not impressed. Will probably have to listen to it again.

I was thinking of "Selling England by the Pound" for Genesis. "White Sport Coat and"Pink Crustacean" (which I'm not sure is a album) from someone i don't like. "Lark Toungues in Aspic" deserves mentioning. "Everyone's got a Family, Meet Mine" is a good title to a good album by Johnny Paycheck.

"Armed and Crazy" is another very descriptive Johnny Paycheck album title.

The Judas Priest and Santana albums, I've had since the 90's and bought them for around $1. The record inside is in great condition.

LOL, yeah, snotty is a great word that needs to be brought back. Combine it with another favorite word of mine - snotty git. I prefer the Grateful Dead's album title Steal Your Face, although that recording has generally been plagued by sibilance. I think my favorite Zappa album title is Waka Jawaka. I just love saying it. And I love the Coil album title, Queens of the Circulating Library.

I've read that they initially wanted to name the "Steal Your Face" album "Head Fuck" but there's no way Warner Bros. would allow that.

Zero Tolerance For Silence - A great album title from Pat Metheny. But the worst album I've ever heard. It's astounding how anybody could be that good, yet produce such drek. Physical Graffiti - A great title, great cover, and great music I googled weird album titles. I found one I think you'll like. Thomas Dolby - Aliens Ate My Buick.

Loads of fun. An album title that always make me laugh when I hear it (or think of it to be honest) is Marilyn Manson’s “Smells Like Children.” I suppose it is one that works a bit better if you see the cover art, which is hilariously weird. And I know Marilyn Manson is on the cancel list now. But since I was never a listener of his, I don’t care.
