[gareth brown]

I've probably mis-read somewhere, but didn't the Joshua Tree have a working title like 'Desert Songs' or 'Songs of the Desert' or something similar?

 

[Axver]

ATYCLB: Bulldozer

Wasn't Bulldozer a provisional song title, not an album title?

 

[gareth brown]

[Cassis]

no.

 

[LMP]

Zooropa: Elixir Vitae

 

[Jack In The Box]

Zooropa: Dog

 

[Theedge070]

How to Dismantle was originally goign to be called How To Dismantle An Atomic Bob, for Bob Hewson.

 

[Zoots]

'Solar' would have been excellent for the new album instead of How To Not Make An Album Title.

 

[LMP]

If their next album is called Solar I will jump for joy

 

[Niceman]

The way that Bono refered to the songs on "ALL THAT" as "Platinum Soul" made me think he had wanted to call the album that...

 

[Lemonfix]

I wonder if "Man" will ever actually be used as a U2 album title (?)

 

[Zoots]

I wonder if "Man" will ever actually be used as a U2 album title (?)

I hope not.

 

[Aygo]

The Joshua Tree - The Enduring Chill
HTDAAB - Hannover Quay, Solar

I like the "Man" title... it's short, and means lots of things.

 

[U2FanPeter]

All That We Left Behind in 1987

 

[OpperGoeroe]

How to Dismantle was originally goign to be called How To Dismantle An Atomic Bob, for Bob Hewson.

That's not true, the original title was "How to build an atomic bomb", Edge and Bono read it somewhere in a magazine and thought it was cool for an album title.

 

[shart1780]

"Man" has to be the cheesiest name I've ever heard for an album.

Seeing all the alternate titles listed on this board, I realize that the current album titles are pretty good.

I do like Solar alot though.
