Favourite album titles
Posted by Stephen G on 31 July 2008 - 1:30am.
Just read an article which mentioned The Mekons, which reminded me of their album called "The Quality of Mercy Is Not Strnen", with a chimp sitting at a typewriter on the cover. Excellent stuff.
Other favourite album titles and covers?

Wide Eyed and Ignorant
by the excellent A House always struck me as smart.
4th best band in Hull
London 0 Hull 4 by the Housemartins was always a favourite!
Not very obscure I know...
nor very Stephen Fry but "Never Mind The Bollocks" title AND cover would be my favourite.
I Am Not Afraid Of You and I Will Beat Your Ass
Is the title of Yo La Tengo's brilliant 2006 album. Probably my fave.
Is it good?
Have thought about downloading it from eMusic several times but not quite made it.
yes, I think so
It's quite 'noodly' (but not in a bad way) and a bit eclectic/ all over the place, but I really like it a LOT. I think you'd either love it or hate it. It reminds me a bit of Wilco crossed with Grandaddy, if that's any help.
There's a short review here, which I think sums it up quite well - http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,1532769,00.html
Anything Grandaddy
is completely fine by me. Will download when my new ration starts.
Sparks
"Angst In My Pants" always tickles me.
More Sparks
Yes, Sparks often give Good Title - other examples:
- Whomp That Sucker
- Gratuitous Sax & Senseless Violins
- A Woofer in Tweeter's Clothing
Great band too
