I'm not necessarily asking if you like the album or not, but which album titles do you like?

One of mine is Jack Johnson's 'In Between Dreams'.

I also like Ellie Goulding's 'Lights', it's simplistic and ethereal.

Good Charlotte - The Young and the Hopeless.

I quite like 'Ray of Light' by Madonna. I couldn't point to what makes me like it though.

Rihanna - Rated r
Pink - I'm not dead
Mariah Carey - Musicbox, The Emancipation of mimi, Memoirs of an imperfect angel
Christina Aguilera - Stripped
Robyn - Body talk
Paloma Faith - Do you want the truth or something beautiful
Florence - Lungs, Ceremonials

Another one I like is The Corrs 'Talk On Corners' no idea why, I just like it.

Also 'Flavours of Entanglement' by Alanis Morissette, if you know about quantum physics that title will make sense.

Domestiques · 04/04/12 - 11:40

cat666 · 04/04/12 - 11:55

Guns N Roses - Appetite For Destruction is probably the greatest album ever made. Still sounds fresh to this day.

David Bowie- Aladdin Sane

Alfie Elkins · 04/04/12 - 12:40

2Pac's Me Against The World and All Eyez On Me were perfect album titles for that time they came out.

Oasis - Definitely, Maybe
Jay-Z's Reasonable Doubt
Nas' - It Was Written
Rolling Stones - Exile On Main Street
Public Enemy - It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back
Styles P - A Gangster & A Gentleman

David Bowie - The Man Who Sold The World
Big L - Lifestylez Of The Poor & Dangerous
Stevie Wonder - Songs In The Key Of Life
Michael Jackson - Thriller
Theophilus London - Times Are Weird These Days
Marvin Gaye - Whats Going On

Ghostface Killah's Bulletproof Wallets just sounds great.. like an old Blaxploitation flick.
always liked Dylans 'Blood On The Tracks' album title.

[Deleted User] · 04/04/12 - 12:45

Kate Bush - Hounds Of Love (tough and sweet and melancholically stylised) Never For Ever (i love the fairytale vibes it paints with the title....ironically the music is like a fairytale)

Madonna - Like A Prayer (there isnt a more EPIC and dramatic title in Pop...also my fave album so adds to it), Confessions On A Dance Floor (a says-it-on-the-tin title, very bold) Ray Of Light (very much triggers in my mind that idea of something cleansing) and MDNA (simply because it sounds like the blockbuster it is...and its her name and a triple entendre)

Britney - Blackout (i love the idea of it being her media blackout as a theme...while i dislike the album cover...the title is very poignant)

Marvin gaye - Whats goin on (you can tell by the title it is about a man on a journey of discovery, a question we all ask ourselves really)

grace jones - Bulletproof Heart (reminds me of The Terminator films) Inside Story, Hurricane (a literal hurricane!)

Fleedwood Mac - Rumours (again this is one of my all time fave albums but the title again is a says-it-on-the-tin what the songs are about....very deep)

Sly & The Family Stone - Stand! (...i am!) Theres a Riot goin On (...hell yeah there is brother!)

The Doors - Strange Days (every day is a strange day for me...i love it...macabre!)Waiting For The SUn (love the title and the sense of impending doom)

Janet Jackson - Rhythm Nation (yes we are!) Janet. (simples!)

gorillaz - Demon Days (again that doom and gloomy atmosphere) Plastic Beach (conversely....i want a holiday there!)

Prince - Sign O The Times (very much says-it-on-the-tin...a recurring theme here, very much a bold testament)

MrMarple · 04/04/12 - 13:15

Alison Krauss - 'Lonely Runs Both Ways'.

Great title, great album.

BrunoStreete · 04/04/12 - 13:20

I always thought the E.N.D by the Black Eyed Peas was clever, then they sort of ruined it with "The Beginning"

LM · 04/04/12 - 13:49

I love Kate Bush's album titles. The Kick Inside, Lionheart, Never for ever, The dreaming, Hounds of love, The Sensual world, The Red shoes, Aerial, Director's Cut and 50 words for snow
