Wasn't the latter a single though? :p

I nominate 'Cobra And Phases Group Play Voltage In The Milky Night' - there is just something really pretty and romantic about it.

pretentious post rock titles are great:

Goodbye Enemy Airship the Landlord Is Dead
Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven
Yesterday was Dramatic, Today is OK
He Has Left Us Alone But Shafts of Light Sometimes Grace the Corners of Our Rooms
If Only A Sweet Surrender To The Nights To Come Be True (what???)

Skinny Fists also has the added advantage of being badly done in two languages.

Re: Quality Album Titles

Crow Sit on Blood Tree (Graham Coxon) has always made me laugh because its utterly ridiculous

Chart Pimp - Part Chimp - any excuse for a spoonerism, bit of a let down with the new album title when at one point they considered Goodbye Bastards but pussied out because they didn't want a swear word in the title.

Luss - Le Neon - their own made up word for lush. A much more appealing pronunciation.

Re: Quality Album Titles

depends what context you take it in. By far and away the best thing snow patrol ever did IMHO... ...but then it has the title track and "black and blue". This make me wants to start a thread called "promising bands that went shit..." in fact, i think i might!

Re: Quality Album Titles

I hate country, but I bought this single anyway for its title: "She offered her honour, he honoured her offer, and all through the night it was honour and offer"
If I realised an album I'd call it "Insert Title Here". Ooh...maybe I'll start an "ideas for single, album and band name" thread.
