This is not a favorite album type of thing, but what album do you find has a nice or good name...you dont even have to like the album. For example...Damnation from Opeth, now I havent heard the whole album, but I find the name of it great. Close to the edge is an other winner for me! Starless and bible black is so dramatic...love it! And ...if you like to point out some bad names...I wont stop you... for example...Love beach...awful is the word you are looking for!!! now you! ------------- "You want me to play what, Robert?"

When it comes to Live albums, I have always thought "Live On The Edge Of Forever" is a really dramatic name, and suitable for Symphony X... ...on the other hand, I love the concept of "Two For The Show" by Kansas, with the cleaners sitting and reading last night's programme... very touching. I always thought Journey made a great impact with single word titles, such as Departure, Evolution, Infinity, Captured, Escape & Frontiers..... gave their albums a sort of uniformity and captured the imagination... ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson |

Dark Side of the Moon is one hell of a title, so is Per un Amico and Lark's Tongue in Aspic.

"frances the mute" gets my attention...whereas, in my opinion, "when dream and day untie" even though i hate the album, has a nice title. i also like "atom heart mother" becuase it just makes you think "what the hell?" and i like "selling england by the pound" because it just screams "satire". all around progressive albums have very nice titles, whereas mainstream "rock" (American Idiot)...not so great... ------------- I'm a reasonable man, get off my case |

Lark's Tongues In Aspic is one of my all time favorite album titles. (By the way, a lark is a kind of bird renowned for it's beautiful voice and aspic is a kind of nasty fatty gelatin like the slime that comes off of a canned ham. The title is a metaphor, as if they're saying we have the tongues of a lark to sing but we also have ugliness around us) Another of my favorite titles is also by KC: Starless And Bible Black |

I also like Hawkwind's "Bring Me the Head of Yuri Gagarin", although the album wasn't that great. |

Re the meaning of "Larks' Tongues In Aspic", I found the following on the Web:
The song of the Sky Lark is indeed considered beautiful. Aspic is a jelly made from meat or fish stock, and is used to bind chunks of food in moulds, terrines etc. So the title works on a number of levels. BTW, medieval cuisine included roasted larks: "Feasting at King Henry VIII's court late in his reign became the scandal of Europe. In one day, the King and his courtiers disposed of 11 whole double sides of beef, six sheep, 17 hogs and pigs, 540 chickens, 15 swans, six cranes, 384 pigeons, 648 larks, 72 geese, four peacocks, 3,000 pears and 1,300 apples." (Lyon, Sue (Ed.) (1989). Shakespeare's England. Marshall Cavendish, New York, N.Y.) but it was the Romans who used to eat larks' tongues. Here's a recipe for a Roman appetiser: http://www.romans-in-britain.org.uk/arl_roman_recipes-1000_larks_tongues.htm - http://www.romans-in-britain.org.uk/arl_roman_recipes-1000_l arks_tongues.htm Poor larks!
