Makes you wonder what on Earth were they thinking? What on Earth were they on? Makes you cover the title with your hand when reading the back cover? Launches the Cheese-Meter into the sky? Inspired by Rockalaxy from 7 Of 4's Contact. I know you can do better than that - let's see them! |

Everyone knows rock attained perfection in 1974, it's a scientific fact.

Falling into Infinity (Dream Theater album), it's such a cliche for a title.
Safe as Milk (Captain Beefheart album). Is milk safe? By the way, Captain Beefheart is also a lame name for a band. 21st Century Schizoid Man (King Crimson song). The most pretentious song title ever. It's not 21st century, neither is it schizoid. |

"what on Earth were they thinking":
Spooky Tooth - You broke my heart so I busted your jaw
obviously not thinking at all:
Gnidrolog - In spite of Harry's toenail

Mechanically Separated Chicken on Headshear's debut album. I cringe every time I read that title.

Coyote by Kayo Dot
there are no coyotes on the album.... though there is a lot of caterwauling and howling.

I rate 21st Century Schizoid Man as one of the best song titles ever.

I like the title...and seeing that is what this thread is about, it's relevant.

Without Hope You Cannot Start the Day by Yes gets my vote for the song with the worst title and for the album I'd have to say VDGG's The Least We Can Do is Wave to Each Other
......ok, I'll run and hide now Edited by XTChuck - December 02 2010 at 10:29 |

Death Of Mother Nature Suite
great peice of music but couldn't they have thought up something better? Not exactly a snappy title that rolls off the tongue
Dark Side Of The Moon
I generally dislike the use of the word dark in any song/album title. Always meant to imply thats its deep stuff and very important. I'll be the judge of that!
Works Volume One
Bloody awfull title. No imagination and threatening to inflict a whole series of weighty and ultimately over indulgent stuff on the world. No wonder the critics had a field day.
Abacab
Not going to even bother explaining this one. It is a slight consolation though that take away the ab at the end and replace it with rap.
90125
Can't be bothered to think up a name so we'll use the catologue number instead. Van Halen had the best comeback on this with their 'OU812' . Brilliant!

Except that in this case they used "dark" for the other sense, the literal sense. "Dark" as in "not exposed to light". |

Not really the point though.Its still the same word and used in the context of measuring sanity (or the loss of it).Its not about the moon is it?

It is about the moon in the first degree of meaning, then, by implication (it's a metaphor) it refers to sanity. So no, it's not the same as all those bullsh*t titles you were referring to, like: Dark Passion Play Dark Millenium Dark Deceiver The Dark Chapter Dark Shadows etc. |

Lunacy, term meaning mental illness, stemming from the prefix Luna. A term leftover from ancient times when the moon was thought to cause insanity and mental problems. |

So its actually a very good metaphor. I'll scrub that from my list.

Wait, you're calling classic, epic metal songs such as "A Dark Passage" and "Journey Through the Dark" (both by Blind Guardian) pretentious? If so, just look at their lyrics. It's even more pretentious: "I feel cold Facing the darkness The light's gone away Deep in his castle he said" |
