"Youthanasia" and "United Abominations" are so tenth-grade vague-political-angst it's almost funny. Plus, their first three consecutive albums had ellipses in the titles, which is just overkill.

That sixth "Up" gives me fits.

But the old Brit anarcho-punk band Flux of Pink Indians doubtlessly wins the prize of both best and worst title of all time with their second album 'The Fucking Cunts Treat Us like Pricks.'

Ted Nugent's 'Intensities in Ten Cities' is both the best and worst album title ever.

Bad all around, regardless of sales.

okay, no, there are some bad ones ("let the snakes crinkle their heads..." comes to mind), but "Splendor of Fear" is actually one of my favorite album titles of all time.

What he knows throws the blows when he goes to the fight
And he'll win the whole thing before he enters the ring
There's no body to batter when your mind is your might
So when you go solo, you hold your own hand
And remember that depth is the greatest of heights
And if you know where you stand, then you know where to land
And if you fall it won't matter, cuz you know that you're right

The rest are debatable, but that's too good to slur, sir.

[Did I get that right? Do you truly care if I did or not?] I believe this was post Significant Other's success, meaning that upon this album's release the world was growing less and less interested in what Fred and the boys had to say. Correlation between that and the album title? I'll let you be judge.

Also, I kinda think Enema of the State is a fantastic title and Take Off Your Pants and Jacket belongs on this list, but I really have nothing to support my position and I could easily go vice versa.

It's a bit of a different type of bad album title than those above, but it takes the cake for me.
