Michael Stipe said that they wanted to name their first album "Cat Butt" but were pretty sure that would have nixed their cred.

Perhaps my taste leans toward the concise album title? <BR/><BR/>The Shins always have intriguing and cool titles. <BR/><BR/>There should probably be a separate category for quirky and/or clever album titles. <BR/><BR/>It is really hard to discuss without talking about album quality. For example, I really want to suggest Nevermind by Nirvana. But is Nevermind really that great of a title or is it just a great album?kacy faulconerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09690060274994621199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597252.post-51112014713038915232009-02-03T04:52:00.000-07:002009-02-03T04:52:00.000-07:00I like Shins titles--Oh, Inverted World, Chutes To...I like Shins titles--Oh, Inverted World, Chutes Too Narrow, Wincing the Night Away.<BR/><BR/>That's all I got.Elizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13943126446575413050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597252.post-3528214704891257932009-02-02T23:24:00.000-07:002009-02-02T23:24:00.000-07:00Maybe people would respect Raffi more if he had mo...Maybe people would respect Raffi more if he had more kick a** album titles.My Five Little Monkeyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02629999326941487602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597252.post-9356718140630442282009-02-02T23:10:00.000-07:002009-02-02T23:10:00.000-07:00Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?Of Montreal.Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?<BR/><BR/><BR/>Of Montreal.Carinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13859567470814286102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597252.post-45534331348427915532009-02-02T23:09:00.000-07:002009-02-02T23:09:00.000-07:00"smell the glove"- Spinal Tap"fumbling towards ecs..."smell the glove"- Spinal Tap<BR/><BR/>"fumbling towards ecstasy"- Sarah McLachlan<BR/><BR/>"kamakiriad"- Donald Fagen<BR/><BR/>"so"- Peter GabrielJennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05995872507959987970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597252.post-11445779407294422562009-02-02T21:58:00.001-07:002009-02-02T21:58:00.001-07:00Here are some album titles I've liked:Yo La Te...Here are some album titles I've liked:<BR/><BR/>Yo La Tengo - And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out<BR/>Evan and Jaron - We've Never Heard of You, Either<BR/>Spirit - Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus<BR/>Talking Heads - More Songs About Buildings and Food<BR/>Barney Kessel - Music to Listen to Barney Kessel By<BR/>Harry Chapin - Verities and Balderdash<BR/>Hall & Oates - Abandoned Luncheonette<BR/>Simple Minds - New Gold Dream (81-82-83-84)<BR/>Terence Trent D'Arby - Introducing the Hardline According to Terence Trent D'Arby<BR/>Elton John - Captain Fantastic & the Brown Dirt Cowboy<BR/>Secret Machines - Now Here is Nowhere<BR/>Peter Gabriel - So<BR/>King's X - Gretchen Goes to Nebraska<BR/>Son Volt - Okemah and the Melody of Riot<BR/>Tripping Daisy - I Am an Elastic Firecracker<BR/>Tears For Fears - Songs From the Big Chair<BR/>The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots<BR/>The Kinks - Lola vs. the Powerman & the Money-Go-Round, Pt. 1<BR/>Midnight Oil - 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1<BR/>INXS - Shabooh Shoobah<BR/>The Rain Parade - Emergency Third Rail Power Trip<BR/>Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother<BR/>John Cougar Mellencamp - Uh-Huh<BR/>Kansas - Leftoverture<BR/>Joe Walsh - The Smoker You Drink, the Player You Get<BR/>Tom Tom Club - Boom Boom Chi Boom Boom<BR/>Yaz - Upstairs at Eric's<BR/>The Offspring - Ixnay on the Hombre<BR/>Neil Diamond - Tap Root Manuscript<BR/>Visible Wind - Barb-a-Baal-a-Loo<BR/>The Woodentops - Wooden Foot Cops on the Highway<BR/>The Aliens - Astronomy For Dogs<BR/><BR/>You figure if the title can be that imaginative, the songs must have some originality to them too.Rusty Southwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15219593571227897865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597252.post-32063710335501287702009-02-02T21:58:00.000-07:002009-02-02T21:58:00.000-07:00Dance Fever.
