h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Just uncovered some more goodies:

Primus - Sailing On The Seas Of Cheese
Jegsy Dodds - Wake Up and Smell the Offie
Jack Planck - To Hell With You, I'll Make My Own People
Lowfinger - Who's Got The Biscuits?
Monkey Island - Mere Pawns... To The Monkey God of Rock 'n' Roll
John Cooper Clarke - Ou Est La Maison de Fromage?
The Folk Orchestra - Blood Stained Lovers
Ivor Cutler - Jammy Smears
The Fatima Mansions - Viva Dead Ponies
Mark Eitzel - Caught in a Trap and I Can't Back Out 'Cause I Love You Too Much, Baby
Garlic - The Murky World of Seats
Gerling - Children of Telepathic Experiences

Another one occurred to me: "Transient Random Noise Bursts With Announcements" by Stereolab.

Peng!

Ooh references to cheese. I like

Not so much the album title but a track contained thereon.

Camembert Electrique - Gong
The track being Squeezing Sponges Over Policemen's Heads

"Caught in a Trap and I Can't Back Out 'Cause I Love You Too Much, Baby"

Somehow as a few lines from a Presley song it seemed relatively OK. If you like that sort of thing.

As an album title however...........

PP

"Blur's 6th album is called 13"

"Mansun......their second album "Six""

I give you The Travelling Wilburys second album, "The Travelling Wilburys Vol 3"

PP

Pearl Jam's first album was called "Ten"

The Coup released an album called "Steal this album"

System of a Down liked the title so much that few years later they stole the title for their album, but *cleverly* added an exclamation mark!

A quick trawl through my collection produced:

- Earl Zinger - Put Your Phasers On Stun Throw Your Health Food Skywards
- Van Der Graaf Generator - H to He Who Am The Only One
- Fishbone - Give A Monkey A Brain And He'll Swear He's The Center Of The Universe
(Actually, that one's not ludicrous at all... )
- Samm Bennett's History Of The Last Five Minutes
- Dr. Alimantado - Best Dressed Chicken In Town
- Geggy Tah - Into The Oh
- Captain Beefheart - Trout Mask Replica

There was a danish band who sent out an album near christmas, and named it "A brilliant idea for a gift!".

I can't believe no ones mentioned, The Rectal Rebels and their first, and I think only album release, anal asult

The Butthole Surfers produced the following album names...
Locust Abortion Technician
Hairway to Steven
piouhgd

The most ludicrous ones from my CD collection:

"this films crap lets slash the seats" - David Holmes

"I Am Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your Ass" - Yo La Tengo

While on the subject of album titles, my personal favorite is "Medúlla" (by Bjork). It's just a lovely word, and it sums up the album perfectly (it means marrow, or more broadly, the inner structure of something).

Discovered an album by a band called Stump;

Lights! Camel! Action! Charlton Heston Meets The Irresistible Force

I remember Stump. They had a song called "Charlton Heston" (which I presume is on the album), the chorus of which went "Charlton Heston put his vest on."

I have that very 12" single!

Unfortunately, no turntable on which to play it
