What is the coolest album title ever? (cue the kids saying "What's an album?" I vote for Surrealistic Pillow. It's ancient, kids. Ask yer grandpa. It goes with vodka and weed.

Okay, I’m going with "The Boy Bands Have Won, and All the Copyists and the Tribute Bands and the TV Talent Show Producers Have Won, If We Allow Our Culture to Be Shaped by Mimicry, Whether from Lack of Ideas or from Exaggerated Respect. You Should Never Try to Freeze Culture. What You Can Do Is Recycle That Culture. Take Your Older Brother's Hand-Me-Down Jacket and Re-Style It, Re-Fashion It to the Point Where It Becomes Your Own. But Don't Just Regurgitate Creative History, or Hold Art and Music and Literature as Fixed, Untouchable and Kept Under Glass. The People Who Try to 'Guard' Any Particular Form of Music Are, Like the Copyists and Manufactured Bands, Doing It the Worst Disservice, Because the Only Thing That You Can Do to Music That Will Damage It Is Not Change It, Not Make It Your Own. Because Then It Dies, Then It's Over, Then It's Done, and the Boy Bands Have Won." by Chumbawumba.

So many. Almost too many to name. But not quite too many to name.

"Ever Feel Like Killing Your Boss?" (The Feederz, 1984) will always rank very highly for me. For obvious reasons.

"Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" (Black Sabbath, 1973) has always had a nice ring to it. But that could be because I love that album.

I've always thought that "Shut 'N Play Yer Guitar" (Frank Zappa, 1981) was a great name for instrumental album. (Also "Return Of The Son Of Shut Up 'N Play Yer Guitar")

The fact that "Record Collectors Are Pretentious Assholes" (Poison Idea, 1984) actually fetches high prices from record collectors is fucking heelarious to me.

Runners up would have to be "Mean Man's Dream" (Gore, 1987), "Goodbye Cruel World!" + "For Drug Crazed Grindfreaks Only!" (both Brutal Truth, 1999 + 2000) and "Night of the Living Dudes" (UV Rays, 2006).
Sorry I'm rambling.

None of you are putting any thought into uncoolest album titles ever. You know, like Van Halen "1983" or U2 "The Joshua Shrubbery", or Guns n Roses "The Spagetti-Os Incident?".

Lots of sucky stuff out there.

Don't forget "Psychic...Powerless...Another Man's Sac", "Hairway to Steven" and "Rembrandt Pussyhorse". Gems of album titles all three.

^^^ don't know how "Golden Shower of Hits" slipped my mind.

Not only is "Zen and the Art of Beating Your Ass" (9 Shocks Terror, 1999) a great album title it also had amusing song titles. Examples being Pissing and Moaning in the Key of D-Minor, Attack with a Gasmask, and Yeti Smasher.

Other titles I forgot: "Another Case of Brewtality" (Gang Green, 1997), "A Lot of People Would Like to See Armand Schaubroeck...Dead" (Armand Schaubroeck Steals, 1972) and "Tyranny and Mutation" (Blue Oyster Cult, 1973).
