What the hell does this mean? Eddie Vedder? If I see him in a bookstore I'll pull a Wayne Campbell/Garth Algar by dropping to my knees and saying "I'm not worthy".

I hate Privatemiller a little less then if that's the case. Funny cause you remind me of Kidamnesiac sometimes.

I've seen albums with 15 songs titled "untitled".

My thinking? If you don't care enough to give your song a decent title, then why should I care enough to buy it?

Because untitled song are often very nice and have good music

Also, the word 'untitled' looks pretty good. Especially if you put it in [ ]

It's because the music encapsulates something so beautiful it cannot be expressed in words, and a title would cheapen it. Maybe.

I have the same compulsion to constantly check the song titles.

That said, it doesn't matter if Pearl Jam call it "Hey Foxymophandlemana, That's Me" or "Stupid Mop" it is still a horrible track that really drags down the whole album IMHO.

Agree completely. Vitalogy is one of my least favorite Pearl Jam albums due to "songs" like "Stupid Mop", "Pry, to", or "Bugs". Song titles mean nothing with junk like that.
