- Post subject: Favorite Album Titles
|
I was wondering what some of your favorite album titles are. You don't even have to like the album. But I'm curious what factors make an albums title memorable or particularly interesting.
Some of my favorites:
I like these cause they're cheap zingers that make me smile:
Caravan-If I Could Do It All Over Again I'd Do It All Over You
Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention- We're Only In It For the Money
Paul Simon- There Goes Rhymin' Simon
Rolling Stones- Let it Bleed
I like these because they accurately describe the contents of the album:
Bob Dylan- Blood On The Tracks
My Bloody Valentine- Loveless
Syd Barret- The Madcap Laughs
Big Black- Songs About Fucking
Robert Wyatt- Rock Bottom
I like these because they illicit a unique emotional response when I hear them:
Sonic Youth- Daydream Nation
Frank Sinatra- Sings For Only the Lonely
Notorious B.I.G.- Ready To Die
Leonard Cohen- Death of a Ladies Man
Sly and the Family Stone- There's a Riot Goin' On

Most misleading titles:
Blonde on Blonde- Bob Dylan (Where's my lesbian porn?)
Stormcock- Roy Harper (Where's my gay porn?)
Hounds of Love- Kate Bush (Where's my beastiality porn?)
Chuck Berry Is on Top- Chuck Berry (Where's my Chuck Berry porn?)

Heh indeed it's the perfect gravestone line. Other equally interesting Caravan titles: For Girls Who Grow Plump in the Night....Cunning Stunts

LOL I feel kind of dumb for having never thought of Blonde on Blonde in that way. That title always brought some sort of textural image to mind, sometimes you overlook the most obvious thing about something when you've already defined and categorized it in your mind....heh Chuck Berry porn
