This is pretty random, but I must say, as a title goes, "Super City Mania" is pretty damn good.

Yeah I'd only seen it referred to a few times, and I guess I think of it as their "Best Unused Song Title" and not necessarily their best title. But it is pretty good.

I like this question.
Hmmm.
A Sort of Homecoming is a good title, I think. Love is Blindness. Walk to the Water is simple, yet evocative. Running to Stand Still. Mothers of the Disappeared. Wake Up Dead Man. Until the End of the World. Ahhhh, I'll stop. I'd probably end up listing too many.

wasn't super city mania an early title for miami?
i tend to favour titles where it doesn't appear in the song because i'm weird. i like luminous times, the unforgettable fire, wire...can't think of any others at the moment. the only ones i'd come out and say i hated are the ridiculously long ones.

a different kind of blue.
No idea which I'd pick as greatest, but some of the song titles I like include A Sort Of Homecoming, Mothers Of The Disappeared, Bullet The Blue Sky, No Line On The Horizon, Bass Trap, Love Is Blindness, and Zooropa.
I'm not too keen on most of the long titles, though let's not forget two gems, Treasure (Whatever Happened To Pete The Chop?) and Alex Descends Into Hell For A Bottle Of Milk/Korova 1!

Good call, I was trying to think if they had any good song titles in the 2000's, and "Original of the Species" definitely is one. I remember back before HTDAAB came out, reading the track list, and being very intrigued by that one.
On that note, "Xanax and Wine" is pretty cool, but that might just be the substance abuser in me talking.

Kind of off-topic, but I, like Sicy, had to Google Super City Mania, and I ended up finding this list of Pop outtakes:
Who else really wants to hear The Return Of The Fly?unheard said:
Also, Cedars of Lebanon, A Sort Of Homecoming, Original of the Species, and Mothers of the Disappeared all have great titles.

i don't know, I Love The Apple Mac sounds like it could be a lost U2 classic...

That's the one that caught my attention, too! I really can't wait until the POP reissue What was one of the working titles for the album? "12 Shiny New Songs from U2" or something? Such an odd, fascinating time for the band...

Actually, I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that this developed into MOFO. Which seems...fitting, in a really weird way.
