Why Achtung Baby? Why the Joshua Tree? etc. Just curious.
Wasn't Joshua Tree supposed to be called The Desert Songs?

I remember seeing some interview with Larry saying he hated the title "Achtung Baby" around the time of the release.
Pop should have been called Heavily-Ironic Densely-Layered Somewhat-Industrial Somewhat-Fake-Dance-y Lyrical-Genius-infused Quasi-Electronic Very-Un-Pop-y.
Would have had the same effect.
How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb -- Didn't Bono say it was originally 'How to Build...', but he changed it later, realizing that the "Bomb" was his father? (Of course, that could be just Bono's traveling salesman approach to his lyrics.)
The Joshua Tree was originally going to be called "The Enduring Chill," a line from One Tree Hill.
You know what some of you need to provide?

October -- a rushed recording, so perhaps they hurriedly named it after a song. Also, 'October' accurately reflects the spiritual crisis (ie., adolescent angst) they were going through.
I don't know if you're making that up, but thank God they didn't name it that! That is horrendous...
What?!?! Now THAT is ridiculous....you cannot be serious....
