Best album title out of all of 'em- all time periods, all types (studio, EP, comp., etc.), all genres, e v e r y t h i n g. My personal candidates are listed below, but feel free to throw in your opinion:
Fall Be Kind- Animal Collective
A Lazarus Taxon- Tortoise
F#A# Infinity- Godspeed You Black Emperor!
Selling England By The Pound- Genesis
Larks' Tongues In Aspic- King Crimson
The Earth Is Not a Cold Dead Place- Explosions In The Sky
Mogwai Young Team
OK Computer- Radiohead
Millions Now Living Will Never Die- Tortoise

Great choices!  Here are three off the top of my head: We're Only In It For The Money - Frank Zappa & The Mothers Klossa Knapitatet - Samla Mammas Manna Happy Songs For Happy People - Mogwai (Would have been even better if it was called Hunted by a Freak)

Hunted By A Freak does sorta convey the overall feel of HSFHP. Mogwai Fear Satan or Like Herod, however, may be the coolest song titles on this side of Don Cab, and I think Mogwai is a great band name (Cantonese for Satan I believe), so the guys from Mogwai are REALLY gifted music-title-makers.

Strangely, I was expecting a poll. 
But, better this way actually, cause I can list my own favorites.
Two from Caravan: If I Could Do It All Over Again, I'd Do It All Over You; and, Cunning Stunts
Camel: I Can See Your House From Here
Peter Gabriel: Peter Gabriel (all 4 of em)
Fish: Raingods With Zippos
Jefferson Airplane: After Bathing At Baxter's and Surrealistic Pillow
