 Topic: Most Original album name
Posted: July 22 2005 at 01:17 |
|
What would you all think is the most original album name for a prog
band - I mean a lot of prog albums that I can think of are taken from
song names (Close to the Edge, Aqualung, Mr. Fantasy etc).
What would you think is the most original album name? Or just makes you laugh when you hear it?

I asked the Beatles
I asked Timothy Leary
But he couldn't help me either
They call me the seeker
THE WHO!

thought was an amusing two fingers up to the critics.

Agatha Christie didn't do cheap novels
Nursery Cryme: Great play with words.
No, not really, fairly straightforward pun

"Cunning Stunts" is nothing but a bit of puerile humor, to be honest

Most Zappa albums!
"Hot Rats" is quite a strange name and "Ship ariving too late to save a drowning witch" too! 
Lmip Bizkit  - "Chocolate Starfish and the Hot dog Flavored Water", that's a strange album name!
