Seeming as band names are being discussed.

My favourite has to be by Therapy? A band I don't even like.

"Suicide Pact. You first."

Genius.

Re: Favourite Album Titles

They Threw Us In A Trench And Stuck A Monument On Top- The Liars

Lift Yr Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven- Godspeed You Black Emperor!

Closer- Joy Division

Back In The DHSS- Half Man Half Biscuit

Jazz has the best album names, though. The sheer audacity of titles like 'The Shape Of Jazz To Come' (which has been copied by Green Milk From The Planet Orange for 'The Shape Of Rock To Come' and The Refused for 'The Shape Of Punk To Come'). Then there's...

Blue Train- John Coltrane
A Love Supreme- John Coltrane
Change Of The Century- Ornette Coleman
Space Is The Place- Sun Ra
A Kind Of Blue- Miles Davis

and my personal favourite...

Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus- Charles Mingus

Re: Favourite Album Titles

Peanut Butter and Jelly at the Ginger Minge - Coachwhips is a personal favourite, cracking album as well.




Re: Favourite Album Titles

That last one is great. Reminds me of a mid-90s album by some band called Waddle entitled Cheeseburger, Cheeseburger, Cheeseburger, Cheeseburger, Cheeseburger. It might not look much written down, but imagine John Peel drily intoning it and it takes on worlds of amusement...

Re: Favourite Album Titles

I once wrote a song called 'I Want John Peel To Say The Title Of This Song Because It Just Wouldn't Sound The Same Coming From Anybody Else's Mouth'. I intended to record it in a blatant attempt to get on the Peel show but alas, never got round to it. I don't think it'd have quite the same ring if I replaced John Peel with Chris Moyles, tragically.

That said, seeing as I once wrote a song called 'How To Disappear Completely And Not Ever Be Found' and intended to write a track called Me Ves Y Sufres and one called Prypiat one day, I fully expect a major indie band to come along and steal my John Peel title (Radiohead stole How To, whilst Hope Of The States have stolen Me Ves Y Sufres and Pripyat. The twats).

Re: Favourite Album Titles

Re: Favourite Album Titles

steal this album. is a class name

Re: Favourite Album Titles

Nirvana - Nevermind (summin' up Generation X apathy innit?)

Also, We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes by Death Cab For Cutie is a top album title. Conversely however the follow-up, The Photo Album, is rubbish.

Re: Favourite Album Titles

Oh dear what an error on my behalf.

Re: Favourite Album Titles

i think "relationship of command" is a shit name for a great album.

i also think i'm more likely to take an album to my heart if it has a ridiculous name.

Re: Favourite Album Titles

Yeah, it is a bit shit. In/Casino/Out is a great name.

Re: Favourite Album Titles
