Worst Album Names Ever (dancing, instrumental, cd, albums, springsteen)

What albums have titles that make it sound like it would be awful to you, or what album titles do not fit the feel of the album at all?

Ultra Beatdown by Dragonforce comes to mind.

I think Ultra Beatdown is fine..

The hands down winner

R Kelly - Chocolate Factory

An army of comedy writers couldn't do better.

In Rainbows is pretty lame, far as names go.

Checking through my library of music I couldn't find any terrible album names, however one which invites tremendous facepalm occured to me:
Wishbone Ash's instrumental album "Noveau Calls" comes to mind, solid enough album, but say it out loud.

^^ The album art certainly rectified In Rainbows' shortcomings. And its music.

I personally hate unimaginative and cliched album names (think: Zeitgeist, The Final Cut, etc.). It helps if they suck, too.

Totally agree, I actually have it as my desktop background.

Really? I think it's the best album name theyve had.

Anyway, I remember once going through my girlfriend's mom's cd collection and finding Shock'n Y'all by Toby Keith. The fact that he actually used the word "ya'll" just makes me gag. Also the names to Cannibal Corpse albums are utterly laughable with names like Butchered at Birth and Eaten Back to Life. And of course who could forget Limp Bizkit's Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water?

Wild Like Children- Tilly & The Wall. The music is great; the title is not. The only thing worse than the hokey title is the amazingly hideous artwork.

Dancing With Tears In My Eyes- Ultravox. Awful title for an awful song by an awful group (and the title of an awful compilation).

Real Live- Bob Dylan. Huh?

Tracks- Bruce Springsteen. An imaginative title that proves that Brucie remains creative well into his third decade.

Greatest Hits, The Best Of ___, Live At _____, The Essential ____, etc. Come on!
