What is the best album title ever?

Vote. Or reply. Or Both. You know the drill.

Tubthumping :cool:

Do you mean which of those albums is the best or do you mean which one has the best title?

My above post was a joke but honestly every single one of those albums is utter filth that if I was forced to listen to would cause me to vomit. :cool:

"60 horses in my herd"

Do you mean which of those albums is the best or do you mean which one has the best title?
Best title.

My above post was a joke but honestly every single one of those albums is utter filth that if I was forced to listen to would cause me to vomit. :cool:
That's why I gave you the option to post below so no one would whine like you just did, but no, none of my threads ever have no whiners. Back to the drawing board.

Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf

Out of those albums, Back in Black is the only respectable one, so I voted for that.

Well, I vote AC/DC "Back In Black", considering the story behind it. Long story short, the replacement of their leadsigner Bon Scott, who died from a mix of Hypothermia and Alcholic poisoning in 1980. Besides, the songs on that album are great.

But, if you want a write in:

Ozzy Osbouorne - "No More Tears"
Guns N' Roses - "Use Your Illusion"
Spinal Tap - "Smell the Glove": ok, that one was a joke, if you know who Spinal Tap is.

Converting Vegetarians - Infected Mushroom

Well The Greg Kihn Band had it until they stopped using "Kihn" in every name...


maybe

You Can Tune a Piano, But You Can't Tuna Fish.

I think the best album ever is "Dark Side of the Moon" by Pink Floyd, with "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" by The Beatles as 2'nd, and "Nevermind" by Nirvana as 3'rd.

I just remembered another one:

Judas Priest - "Screaming for Avengance"

"Dark Side of the Moon" is a cool name, and I'm a die hard Beatles fan, so, I like "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" anyways.

"And I get by with a little help from my friends..."

How about The Replacements - "Stink"

My above post was a joke but honestly every single one of those albums is utter filth that if I was forced to listen to would cause me to vomit. :cool:
The fact that you would refer to Dave Matthews as filth only shows that you have no concept of respect for either musical talent or other people's individual perferences. So if you do vomit, I don't think it would be of great concern to anyone.

Sailing the Seas of Cheese by Primus

Liquored Up And Lacquered Down - Southern Culture on the Skids.

the wall- pink floyd

"If the Party's in Your Mouth......We're Comin'"
by Snatch.

(True title)
Hair band in the 80's released in 1985.
:p

Quiet is the new loud by Kings of Convience

This Film's Crap, Let's Slash the Seats- David Holmes

I thought that the Cockney Rejects calling their first three albums Greatest Hits Volumes 1, 2 and 3 was pretty funny. Unfortunately they lied. They were shit. :D

The Gathering - "Mandylion"

Great album too.

"The Fucking Cunts Treat Us Like Pricks" by Flux of Pink Indians still has a certain je ne sais quoi.

some people need to read post topics.. it's "album title" not "album" so musical quality shouldn't mean much.

I'm going with "Hangover Music" by BLS (Zakk Wylde)... completely appropriate.

I would have nominated Fleetwood Mac's Rumours. Considering the breakups and the soap opera they were living in, very appropriate title.

The Dark Side of the Moon, Pink Floyd

Californication, The Red Hot Chilli Peppers

Two that I can think of now.

Satellite Sex, not a real Album, as far as I know, but a friend of mine wants his bands first album to be called that.

Welcome Interstate Managers- Fountains of Wayne
Pronounced Leh-nerd Skin-nerd- Lynyrd Skynyrd

The Talking Heads - Sand in the Vaseline

"America Must Be Destroyed" - Gwar

j/k, just wanted to see how many howls of outrage I could get ;)

I couldn't pick just one:

"Uncompromising War on Art Under the Dictatorship of the Proletariat" - Killdozer
"Extremities, Dirt and Various Repressed Emotions" - Killing Joke
"Pure Chewing Satisfaction" - Lard
"In Case You Didn't Feel Like Showing Up (Live)" - Ministry
"Proud to Commit Commercial Suicide" - Nailbomb
"Linger Ficken' Good..." - Revolting Cocks
"Decade of Aggression" - Slayer
"How Will I Laugh Tomorrow When I Can't Even Smile Today" - Suicidal Tendencies

"Supersexy Swingin' Sounds" - White Zombie
"Music For A Slaughtering Tribe" - Wumpscut
"American Made Music to Strip By" - Rob Zombie

"America Must Be Destroyed" - Gwar


I considered entering this myself, but decided that "13 Point Program To Destroy America" by the Nation of Ulysses was actually a better LP title.


"Uncompromising War on Art Under the Dictatorship of the Proletariat" - Killdozer


Great title. Great LP.

I think it is a tie between
The Album of The Year
By Faith No More-- a very ambitious title.

and

Tractor on my balls
by Mr.Bungle
--Oddly enough Mike Patton is the lead singer for both bands.

"America Must Be Destroyed" - Gwar

Standard Anti-American crap *yawn*

Standard Anti-American crap *yawn*

Care to explain to a poor fool like me why Killdozer are anti-American?

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins

Standard Anti-American crap *yawn*



Music For A Slaughtering Tribe, for example, Has nothing to do with the
USA. Rudy Ratzinger probably couldn't care less about America's politics.







So I suggest you research what your talking about before you make a further ass of yourself.

Tool - Lateralus

Re: the 'anti-american crap' claim made by Susa

I suggest you research what your talking about before you make a further ass of yourself.

Although that would probably be wise it would be much less entertaining for everybody else.

Standard Anti-American crap *yawn*
Well I don't see any anti-flag up there or any Rage Against the Machine, but then again you can't really say the RATM is anti-american since well, they're all americans and they all just want freedom and equality.

Standard Anti-American crap *yawn*

What a bizarre comment...

If you are referring to "America Must Be Destroyed" by Gwar, the title has nothing to do with the album, and the album is not even remotely anti-USA. It's a gag title, designed to get a reaction from, well, gullible chumps ;)

Gn'R - Appetite for Destruction

Pink Floyd - The Final Cut

I just remembered an even better one.

Group X - Stepping on the Crowtche owf your americain presidaint

It's a real CD.

What is the best album title ever?

Vote. Or reply. Or Both. You know the drill.

1. Didn't daddy ever teach you to never tell a book by its cover? The same applies to music.

2. With the exception of two of your choices (Dave and ACDC) this has to be the worst music I have ever seen. Who actually likes Mariah Carey? I would rather listen to Harry Carey. Two poll options at that. And the same thing goes for that Canadian-Pop-Country **** Shania Twain. Does she look good? Yes. Does that mean people have to like her music, HELL NO!

3. Best album of all time, Led Zeppelin - Complete Studio Recordings (the best $120 I have ever spent). Best Album title of all time, Lynyrd Skynyrd - (pronounced leh-nerd skin-nerd)

1. Didn't daddy ever teach you to never tell a book by its cover? The same applies to music.

However, it is still valid to ask 'what the best album title ever' is. Trivial, yes, invalid, no. It was you that leapt to the conclusion that a judgement was being passed on the music contained therein.

The Gathering - "Mandylion"

Great album too.
I just got a bunch of their songs because Amazon told me too. I really like Lacuna Coil and they suggested The Gathering. I haven't heard too much of it, but it doesn't touch Lacuna Coil.

1. Didn't daddy ever teach you to never tell a book by its cover? The same applies to music.

2. With the exception of two of your choices (Dave and ACDC) this has to be the worst music I have ever seen. Who actually likes Mariah Carey? I would rather listen to Harry Carey. Two poll options at that. And the same thing goes for that Canadian-Pop-Country **** Shania Twain. Does she look good? Yes. Does that mean people have to like her music, HELL NO!

3. Best album of all time, Led Zeppelin - Complete Studio Recordings (the best $120 I have ever spent). Best Album title of all time, Lynyrd Skynyrd - (pronounced leh-nerd skin-nerd)
I listen to Mariah Carey, Shania Twain, and Whitney Houston! That genre usually has the best album titles! So, if this were a poll about the best album, I wouldn't put Mariah, Shania, or Whitney up there because I know they'd get BLASTED by people like you! AND YES I HAVE HEARD 'DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER' BUT WHO CARES IF MY FATHER TAUGHT IT TO ME!!!!!!! But actually, the cover makes half of the fun of a CD, I think.

While I think you've got appalling music taste you'd naturally think the same about me- music being entirely subjective.

I am interested to know why you think those are particular interesting album titles however. They all strike me as pretty generic.

I've thought of another one: Half Man Half Biscuit- Trouble Over Bridgewater

Explosions in the Sky - Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Live Forever

McLusky - My Pain And Sadness is More Sad and Painful Than Yours

"Working class dog" - Rick Springfield

Blind Dogs for the Guides - Comatose Horse

Well 'Fold You Arms Child, You Walk Like A Peasant' - by Belle and Sebastian has a certain ring to it.

Not to mention the album Quadrophenia, by me and my band!

"Power in Numbers" - Jurassic 5
"Watermelon, Chicken, & Gritz" - Nappy Roots

For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge - Van Halen
I used the term fuck before the album. This album made me research the term.

The album refered to as The White Album by the Beatles
First that I'm aware with no title for the album. (Could be wrong)

The Song Remain The Same - Led Zeppelin
Especially since the song of the same name is on another album.

I also have to agree with Dark Side of The Moon, Sgt. Pepper, and the Lynnyrd Skynnyrd album.

Stereolab: "Transient Random Noise-Bursts ... With Announcements"
Snow Patrol: "When It's All Over We Still Have To Clean Up" "Emperor Tomato Ketchup"
Butthole Surfers: "Locust Abortion Technician" / "Hariway To Steven"
The Art of Noise: "In Visible Silence" / "In No Sense? Nonsense!"
Frank Zappa: "Ship Arriving Too Late To Save A Drowning Witch"
George Clinton: "Some of My Best Jokes Are Friends" / "Shouldn't Nuff Bit Fish"


just a few to throw into the mix!

The Aquabats - The Aquabats Vs The Floating Eye Of Death
The Circle Jerks - Golden Shower of Hits

Spinal Tap - "Smell the Glove": ok, that one was a joke, if you know who Spinal Tap is.


What their Album Shark Sandwich :D

I voted for "Back in Black" because it's one of my favorite albums, but for sheer title cleverness, I would vote for "Fungus Amongus" by Incubus (and yes, the word "Amongus" is really spelled that way on the cover).

Dark Side of The Moon

Pink Floyd - A momentary lapse of reason

ACDC Rocks,

every thing else sucks donkey balls on this horrible list.

No one wants to vote for Shania, Mariah, or Whitney? You guys are cold.

Music to Make Love to Your Old Lady By - By Lovage

The Beatles - Let It Be

Royal Highness
High Society
Hidden Stash I & II
Rollin Stoned
Fire It Up

I'm partial to some of the classics like Give Me Convience Or Give Me Death and Plastic Surgery Disasters, but there is a lot to be said for the simplicity of Good.

Dark Side Of the Moon, is still the best rock album ever recorded,if you havent heard it in a while, get a glass of whatever turns you on. put the album on turn the lights off and let Pink Floyd take you away.

Toxicity - System of a Down

the best album i know

First of all, the best album every recorded is Abbey Road. But Dark Side (though I prefer The Wall personally) is probably top 10.

But the question was best album TITLE. The album could suck. I think the best album title I've ever seen is Eponymous. That's brilliant.

Exile On Main Street I quite like as a title.

Three of my fave titles for albums are :-
The Last Scream Of The Missing Neighbours - Jello Biafra & D.O.A
Machine Gun In The Clown`s Hand (spoken Word) Jello Biafra
Give Me Convienience Or Give Me Death - Dead Kennedys

Some metal band from the late 70's, early 80's:

Buy This Album

I agree with quite a few of the above selections, but I didn't see two that I thought were somewhat clever. Both are by Alien Ant Farm.

ANThology
TruANT

I dunno, just kinda liked 'em.

Just thought of another, this one happens to be from Sum 41:

Does This Look Infected?

And whilst on the subject of "Buy This Album," I was wondering if you were aware that System of a Down put out an album called "Steal This Album."

not terrific, but competent - a best of belle and sebastian

Sailing the Seas of Cheese by Primus

Good title. I also like Midnight Vultures - Beck and 12 Golden Country Greats - Ween.

How did I forget the aptly named Public Image Limited's famous Compact Disc/Cassette Tape album (well actually they are slightly different but are usually considered the same album).

Why take your own life when you can't hear the talk about it afterwards? - Magnus Uggla.

Toby Keith- "Shock n' Yall"
John Denver- "Poems, Prayers, and Promises"
Jimmy Eat World- "Bleed American"
Big and Rich- "Horse of a Different Color"
Pink Floyd- "Dark Side of the Moon"
Blink 182- "Take Off Your Pants and Jacket"
System of a Down- "Steal This Album" (Someone beat me to it)
Jimmy Buffett- "License to Chill"
Jimmy Buffett- "Coconut Telegraph"
Jimmy Buffett- "Meet Me in Margaritaville"
Jimmy Buffett- "Son of a Son of a Sailor"
Jimmy Buffett- "Living and Dying in 3/4 Time"

Yes I love Jimmy Buffett ;)

Well 'Fold You Arms Child, You Walk Like A Peasant' - by Belle and Sebastian has a certain ring to it.

Oh yes, it's a nice name. Haven't heard any of the music but the title stuck the instant I saw it.

My primary choice would still be the hilarious, Motörhead-esque title of a Strapping Young Lad live album:

No Sleep 'Til Bedtime

Gotta love it.

Piece of Mind by Iron Maiden

Greatest album ever -> Crossroad: The Greatest Hits of Bon Jovi

Greatest album title ever -> Crossroad: The Greatest Hits Of Bon Jovi

Wheres Premission To Land?
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!

Remember, album titles. Maybe you like the music, but I don't see how some of these could be any sort of album titles.

Except Jimmy Buffet's 'Licensce to Chill', that's pretty clever.

"Physic, Powerless, Another Man's Sac", "Rembrandt Pussyhorse", "Locust Abortion Technician", "Cream Corn From The Socket Of Davis", "Hairway To Steven", "Piouhgd"... great stuff.

An honourable mention to Alice Donut for "Bucketfulls of Sickness and Horror in an Otherwise Meaningless Life", "Revenge Fantasies of the Impotent", "The Untidy Suicides of Your Degenerate Children and "Dry Humping the Cash Cow".

(both owing a large dept, of course, to the great Frank Zappa).

BORN IN THE U.S.A Bruce Springsteen

BAT OUT OF HELL Meatloaf

DESPERADO The Eagles

SIXTEEN SCANDELS The Capitol Steps

Why does Mariah Carey have two albums on the list? :sniper:

I vote "Tool - Lateralus".

I would agree with the Primus album "Sailing the Seas of Cheese."

I also like Ministry's "Psalm 69 (Or the Way to Suck Eggs)"

Planet Punk - Aerzte

Sehnsucht - Ramms+ein

'Selftitled' - The Doors

Nevermind - Nirvana

Ride the Lightning - Metallica

No one wants to vote for Shania, Mariah, or Whitney? You guys are cold.

they suck and the titles of their albums suck, as simple as that.

Im torn between:

Decksandrumsandrockandroll - Propellerheads
and
Songs for the deaf - Queens of the Stone age

both good albums aswell

Industructable "Rancid"

....And Out Come The Wolves "Rancid"

Your Going f**king Die "TacStar"


One of those three.

Metallica - "Kill 'Em All"
Dead Kennedys - "In God We Trust, Inc." (someone beat me to "Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death")
Carcass - "Wake Up and Smell the Carcass"
The Slits - "Cut"
Babes In Toyland - "Nemesisters"
The Fugs - The Fugs final CD (part 1)"
Cradle of Filth - "Cruelty and the Beast"
Lard - "70s Rock Must Die"
Motorhead - "Bastards"

Grandaddy - The Sophtware Slump
Modest Mouse - This Is a Long Drive for Someone With Nothing to Think About
Radiohead - OK Computer

Most annoying:
Fiona Apple - When The Pawn Hits The Conflicts He Thinks Like A King
What He Knows Throws The Blows When He Goes To The Fight
And He'll Win The Whole Thing 'Fore He Enters The Ring
There's No Body To Batter When Your Mind Is Your Might
So When You Go Solo, You Hold Your Own Hand
And Remember That Depth Is The Greatest Of Heights
And If You Know Where You Stand, Then You Know Where To Land
And If You Fall It Won't Matter, Cuz You'll Know That You're Right

"Twelve Point Buck" by Killdozer
"Scrapping Fetus off the Wheel" by someone I can't remember
This also wins grossest Album title ever, surely

"Half-man, Half-Biscuit", but that was the band name, so I guess it doesn't really count. Still a cool name though.

Grandaddy - The Sophtware Slump


good choice, good album.
but i have to go with Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like A Peasant (by Belle and Sebastian). they actually have a ton of really good titles. If You're Feeling Sinister, Dear Catastrophe Waitress, Lazy Line Painter Jane...

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by the Smashing Pumpkins

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails

Everyone else is doing it, so why can't we? - The Cranberries

'Shout at the Devil'-Motley Cru

I don't know why, but I find that title hilarious.

Also 'Physical Graffiti' and 'If You Want Blood You've Got It'

Never mind the Bollocks-Sex Pistols

VNV Nations album Futureperfect.

There you have it.

The best named album even concived by the human race.

[QUOTE=East Canuck]The album refered to as The White Album by the Beatles
First that I'm aware with no title for the album. (Could be wrong)

Isn't it more fun to give it a title after all the work you put into it? (The most boring thing has got to be the self-titled debut album. Yawn!) The title-less album I liked was by XTC, and someone stole it, so I'm left with just a memory, but it was pretty hilarious. A black cover (these were vinyl days, so there was plenty of room) covered front and back with white explanatory typing in the vein of "This is the cover. It is designed to entice you to buy it. But you're not that easily manipulated, so put it down. Now we just put you in a double bind; if you put it down, you will be doing as we told you, and if you buy it you'll be doing what we wanted all along..." It went on and on "This is the innersleeve...", "Now, this is known as the label..." Aw, alright, alright, so I'm easily amused. Sorry.
Albums I bought just for their title included: "Aural Sculpture" by the Stranglers and "Fresh Fruit for Rotten Vegetables" by the Dead Kennedys. In conjunction with the cover art, I've always liked "Pump" by Aerosmith.

'In Through the Out Door' is another great name.

"Get off the cross, we need the wood for the fire."
-Firewater.

'Good News for People who Love bad News' - Modest Mouse
'Lonesome Crowded West' - Modest Mouse
'Baron Von Bullshit Rides Again' - Modest Mouse
'Everywhere and his Nasty Parlor' Tricks - Modest Mouse

Daydream Nation - Sonic Youth
Bows & Arrows - The Walkmen
A Rush of Blood to the Head - Coldplay
Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots - The Flaming Lips
In the Aeroplane over the Sea- Neutral Milk Hotel

Oh my god! 2 times albums of f***ing Mariah C.? :sniper:

The only thing barely suited to vote for in that poll was "Back in Black", and I didn't vote for it (surely not the *BEST*).

From my stockpiles of albums ( ;)), the best one still would be The Smashing Pumpkins' "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness", "Songs for the Deaf" from QOTSA or "...And the Circus Leaves Town" from Kyuss.

Although I never listened to any of their records (only know some singles), I also like the one liners by Mclusky: "My Pain and Sadness is more Sad and Painful than Yours" and "The Difference between You and Me is that I am Not on Fire". :D

frankenstein girls seem strangely sexy by mindless self indulgence

The Full Custom Gospel Sounds of the Reverend Horton Heat

Warrior Soul had some cool album names:

"Last Decade, Dead Century"
"Drugs, God And The New Republic"
"Salutations From The Ghetto Nation"
