Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

I always thought Half Man Half Biscuit had the best titles, but some of the cultural references would only make sense to British people:
Back in the DHSS
Dickie Davies' Eyes
Seal Clubbing (a cover of David Essex's Night Clubbing)
Trumpton Riots
All I Want for Christmas is a Dukla Prague Away Kit
The Bastard Son of Dean Friedman
I Hate Nerys Hughes (from the Heart)
F*ckin' Hell It's Fred Titmus
And my favourite:
99% Of Gargoyles Look Like Bob Todd

the Deep Freeze Mice have a lot of highly original album names, like "Rain Is When the Earth is Television", "My Geraniums Are Bulletproof", "I Love You, Little Bo-Bo, With Your Delicate Golden Lions" or "Teenage Head in My Refrigerator"

Most Zappa albums!
"Hot Rats" is quite a strange name and "Ship ariving too late to save a drowning witch" too! 
Lmip Bizkit  - "Chocolate Starfish and the Hot dog Flavored Water", that's a strange album name!

My favourites:
H to he who am the Only One (VDGG)
If I could do it All Over Again, I would do it All Over You (Caravan)
Io non so da dove vengo e non so dove mai andro, uomo e il nome che mi han dato (De De Lind)
translation: I don't know from where I am coming, and I don't know where I will ever go. Man is the name they gave me.
These were all already mentioned so i'm not the only one who likes these.
