[Bonochick]

I don't remember who said it, but somebody here once said that The Mysterious Distance would have been a good name for HTDAAB. I like that.

 

[Chill Mike D]

Their 2-second flirtation with calling AB "Fear of Women" would have been funny.

[FitzChivalry]

Rattle and Hum - The Screaming Cowboy

Maybe it's just my sexual persuasion, but this title sounds like a shot I'd order in a club.

 

[PolarCamel]

I think the albums up until JT are perfectly named, and Achtung Baby is a fine name as well but the rest should've been named:

RH - Scribble and Strum
Zooropa - Vorsprung Durch Technik
Pop - Lost in the Supermarket
ATYCLB - Pop
HTDAAB - All That You Can't Leave Behind

the next one should be selftitled or called Men, but only if it justifies it...

 

[Axver]

Rattle And Hum should've been Dawn Changes Everything.

 

[cobl04]

The follow up to How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb (man it's been a long time since I wrote that) should be Oh Fuck It Was The Red Wire Not The Blue One OFIWTRWNTBO.
