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

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!-------------
