Greatest Album Title Of All Time?

[Hot Ptah]

Here is one from the early 1970s by the rock group Spooky Tooth:

"You Broke My Heart So I Busted Your Jaw"

I like some of Sun Ra's album titles:

It's After The End of the World

A Fireside Chat With Lucifer

Some Blues But Not The Kind That's Blue

God Is More Than Love Can Ever Be

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Here is one from the early 1970s by the rock group Spooky Tooth:

"You Broke My Heart So I Busted Your Jaw"

Pinched from a Les McCann tune? Track 1 on Les McCann at Shelley's Manne Hole: "She broke my heart (and I bust her jaw)".

'Cosmic Tones For Mental Therapy' and 'Monorails and Satellites' would be hard to beat.

As would Frank Wright's 'Church Number Nine'

Unfortunately, the cover doesn't have either the title or the artist

but it's "Dead men don't smoke marijuana" by S E Rogie

Eddie Harris-The Reason I'm talking Shit

Jimmy Raney- A

Hard to beat that one.

It's not an album title, but a few weeks ago I saw this neatly lettered handmade sign taped to the inside of a someone's instrument case:

DON'T FORGET

PEOPLE DON'T

LIKE YOUR MUSIC

[Bluesman]

Jay Berliner - Bananas Are Not Created Equal

I wonder if this is related to Donovan's Mellow Yellow?

I always thought Dudley Moore's Genuine Dud was a great title.

[Ken Dryden]

I always thought Destined For Cutout would make a great title.

[Teasing the Korean]

Don't Crush that Dwarf, Hand Me the Pliers - Firesign Theatre.

Television Personalities had two great album titles:

• Yes, Darling, but Is it Art?
• They Could Have Been Bigger Than the Beatles

Around the time of the financial meltdown, a friend of mine called one of his albums Too Big to Fail.

Maybe we need a separate thread for best song titles.

I would nominate "Huk2E" by Phil Woods and "Flight of the Foo Birds" by Neal Hefti. I guess I would add Louis Armstrong's "Yes, I'm in the Barrel." I did a two hour show on song titles with hidden meanings, though I couldn't go into specifics for some of them on the air.

Kip Hanrahan "A Few Short Notes From The End Run" (American Clave) 1986 ....

I love this Moondog song title:  "Why Spend the Dark Night with You."
