Know Your Enemy- Manic Street Preachers

The WORST
18- Moby- any title which uses a nothing but a number is kind of lame

Everyone knows the best album title of all time was Van Halen's "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge".

Wasn't there an album from Fiona Apple that had a RIDICULOUSLY long title???

It started , "When the Pawn hits......" etc etc etc??

Help me out here.

If there was, then that is the worst album title.

Best album title??? Why, Rattle and Hum, of course...

Once again Lemonboy...we are in total agreement.

But what about Drops of Jupiter? hehehe

 

[The Wanderer]

All That You Can't Leave Behind is a "lame" album title?

 

[BAW]

I've always thought What's the Story Morning Glory is a pretty cool album title.

i think it's a bit long, but powerful...it's not just fluff.

 

[AcrobatMan]

Good titles :

Unforgettable Fire ( good, small , crisp, compact and forceful name )
The Wall ( solid )
Ok Computer ( different , sarcastic)
Drops of Jupitar ( good metaphor)
Black Celebration (dark)
The Joshua Tree ( no reason

)
Pop ( sarcasm)

Bad Titles :

Automatic for the people (whats this)
Out of time ( and this)
ATYCLB ( longish)
Ummagumma ( what the heck )
Zooropa ( U2 again )
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band ( too stylish)
Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants (this one too)
and Led Zeppelin 2 ,3 and so on

 

[~LadyLemon~]
