Awfully brilliant or brilliantly awful album title puns.

[TrevorR]

There’s not much better than a really good pun… except maybe a really really awful one. I was listening to a band I’ve not really listened to much in the last few years and it got me thinking about this.

 

A number of artists have used punnery in their album titles… k.d. lang’s smoking themed disc, “Drag” for one, Rush’s “Moving Pictures” has an album cover exploring multiple entendres. But what was the band that got me thinking punningly? An accordion led folk rock band from Wales called Mabon. Their second (I think) album has a name that makes me smile every time I see it…

OK Pewter… Ouch!

Not sure if it counts as a pun, but after David Bowie released Low, Nick Lowe released an album called Bowi.

Does this count? Even if not, it's an awesome album.

HMHB also had album called Back in the DHSS.

Band name rather than album name.

Robert Wyatt’s post Soft Machine outfit was called Matching Mole - which sounds like ‘machine moule’, French for     Soft Machine.

They are the greatest satirists in music!

My band's releases are called 'Thrashist pigs' 'Très Metal' 'Weapons of mosh destruction' 'Thrailer thrash' and the working title for the next one is 'Thrasher island' 

 

I won't spoil the genre of music we play.

I'm hoping it's Dixieland Jazz to really set those titles off.

Couple of mates have a punk band called The Stank Waynes.

One of Ian Hunter's solo albums is called: You're Never Alone with a Schizophrenic, always thought it was a great album title  😛

UFO had an LP called 'Force It', which had a visual pun in the sleeve art - lots of bathroom taps (american 'faucet' sounds like 'force it').

Sleeve art also included some nudity, so I wont include an image here.
